Description
Our hostel has been providing accommodation to travelers from all over the world for more than 15 years and has established itself as the most popular hostel in Veliko Tarnovo.
It is a social and travelers-friendly hostel right in the heart of Veliko Tarnovo. We believe that hostel is about sharing - stories, thoughts, music, laugh, good food, travel experiences and different lifestyles.
Our big common room is the heart of the hostel. We have variety of dormitory and private rooms. There are shared computers in our common room and high speed internet access covering all areas. Our wooden veranda is a nice place for a good talk, can of cold beer or glass of wine.
We have created a program aiming at helping the hostel team and daily operations and also at contributing to the hostel atmosphere by interacting with like-minded travelers from all over the world and improve the family feel of the hostel.
The job is not intensive and in general we offer a very friendly and respectful working environment. What we firmly believe in is that the workawaying should be of a mutual benefit. We offer a bed in one of our mixed dormitories and weekly payment according to the hourly minimum wage in Bulgaria. The payment is done in cash and we don't have hidden fees or charges.
This program is suitable for travelers with friendly, positive, social and naturally helpful personality that are planning to stay in Veliko Tarnovo for two weeks as a minimum.

Accommodation
We will provide a bed in one of our dormitories
All laundry is included free.
WIFI is pretty quick here if you're in the dorms & upstairs which is where most people like to be.
Kitchen is well equipped so if you feel the urge you can also cook to your own tastes.
There's plenty of room to chill out in a quiet corner, the lounge, two big patios, one with a BBQ & wood available that you can use any time & the kitchen / dining area that is nice & cool in the summer months.
The river is very close if you want to get away from everyone, not really suitable for swimming though to be honest, but still very pleasant.
What else ...
It would be advisable if you had your own insurance cover for health & work here in Bulgaria (just in case) as we can't cover your expenses should something unfortunate happen while working, sorry.
Oh.. & last but not least; PLEASE BE AWARE We run a drug free policy at this hostel & can't tolerate the use of illegal substances on our premises.
Thanks for reading our profile :)
