Located in Bucharest and within 1.3 km of Bucharest National Theater TNB, Bedsy features a shared lounge, non-smoking rooms, and free WiFi. The property is set 2.2 km from Cismigiu Gardens, 2.2 km from National Museum of Art and 2.8 km from Romanian Athenaeum.

Carmen and Fernando are phenomenal hosts. They are always smiling and happy, even though clearly they work a lot and could probably use a vacation themselves haha. They helped me get around the city and find things to do as well. The atmosphere in the hostel is fun and relaxed. Bathrooms are extremely clean and they offer laundry service. The beds are super comfortable, and all beds are equipped with personal outlets to charge your things, which is pretty handy. I genuinely don’t think any other hostels in the area can compete with this one :)

The hostel is really well located, just a few metro stops away from the bus station. It’s a few blocks away from the parlament, and 15 min by walk to the old city. The staff is really friendly and kind. The rooms are spacious and the bed was comfortable. I traveled with a 70lt backpack and I was able to fit it into the locker. Just as an FYI, you will a need a padlock, but if you don’t have one, you can buy it at the hostel. No less important, I was able to leave my luggage before the check in and after the check out for free. The hostel has common areas for resting. The kitchen is well equipped. Everything was clean, specially the bathrooms. Every day at the hostel they have different activities for the guests. If you stay here you will no regret it :)

Grozavesti and Regie student campuses are 1 km from Popcorn Hostel. The Bucharest Botanical Garden is 1.5 km from here. The nearest airport is Henri Coandă International Airport, 17 km from the property.

It was a well-located hostel, I arrived in the middle of the night, and with the help of a guest, I managed to squeeze myself and checked in at 1 am at midnight. They only accept online check-in first, but that wasn't a problem at all. The hostel was very clean and there are some artistic touches and amazing people all around the world. I was lucky enough to meet the owner, 'Spider-Man', a very inspiring figure. When I asked about some wisdom from his life and business experience, he shared everything he could with me, this man has a great soul, an intelligent mind and a sense of humour, can you imagine a hostel owner taking a picture for you? The Spider-Man did! If Bucharest as a city did not give me many surprises and value, per se, staying merely at this place and meeting some wonderful people and the owner was all worth visiting Romania and Bucharest! A hands-down 5 stars hostal, guys! No hesitation is needed, this is the place to be! I wish I could create a hostal as such! :)))

    Great location, center is walking distance if you like to walk other wise you can get a cheap taxi to the old part of the center. Big room with comfortable bed. Breakfast offers a lot of things to enjoy. The staff was also great. There are great restaurants near the hotel. After booking we asked for a parking spot for our stay and we got one.

    Good location. About 15-minute walk to the old town, 5-minute walk to the Athenaeum and Calea Victoriei. There's a supermarket close by and plenty of coffee shop options. We always prefer 5 To Go coffee kiosk for cheaper but good coffee. The check-in and check-out were very easy with clear instructions. The building also felt secure and safe. The host was very easy to deal with and communicates promptly. The apartment is very clean, very spacious, modern, and comfortable with full amenities.

    Great location, friendly staff, a budget-friendly place to spend the night safely! Although my party and I had to leave early before the included breakfast, the lounge we were shown had many amenities available outside of breakfast hours. I'm also very grateful to the staff for holding onto some belongings that were accidentally left behind and returning them to me.

    I really enjoyed my stay and recommend this hostel to all backpackers who want to explore Bucharest. Fernando and Carmen are great hosts: always ready to chat, always ready to advise guests on everything they need. The hostel is very well located (Inside the city center and close to the old town), Impeccable hygiene, it has a nice common area, a well furnished kitchen, The bed and pillow are probably the best I've had in hostels in which I have stayed. It has a different and very tasty Breakfast! Definitely the best hostel in town!
