Considering the size of the room, there were a lot amenities and attention to detail. I would have appreciated the check in information before arriving - they said there was an error on the system so they couldn't reply to my late checkin request. Nevertheless, a quick phonecall dealt with it. I would stay again.
The guesthouse has a good vibe: a shared kitchen with lots of appliances, snacks and overall lovely decorated, Everything kept clean. Spacious room, nice bathroom with shower. Friendly and helpful staff and it's in the middle of Sofia, walking distance to Vitosha Blvd and lots of cool restaurants and bars and close to the metro station.
Such a great place, I wish we had more than 1 night there. Super friendly staff, immaculately clean, nice common area with free snacks, coffee and tea.
The vintage decor is super cute, and the area is very walkable to lots of restaurants, shops, metro etc. Highly recommended!
We enjoyed our stay at 5 Vintage and would definitely recommend it to anyone staying in Sofia. The staff were incredibly welcoming and lovely, and the room was clean and comfortable with some nice touches in the shared kitchen. We were right in the center of town which made getting around really easy. Great place to stay if you want to explore Sofia.
What an absolute pleasure it was to stay at 5 Vintage Guest House. From the warm reception and orientation tour to the charming decor. This place makes you feel at home. The helpfulness of each and every staff member I encountered was outstanding. The quaint atmosphere, especially the shared communal kitchen with complimentary snacks and coffee and tea makes you feel like your coming home to grandmas house. I can’t praise the cleanliness of the entire establishment especially the rooms enough. The location is absolutely perfect within walking distance of stores, restaurants and the Christmas market. The main walking boulevard is one minute away yet the guest house is on a quiet side street. Thank you to all staff for an absolutely amazing stay. Other establishments should learn from you!
The reservation desk was very prompt with all their communication and arranged self check in. The property is very well maintained with a lot of free high quality snacks for guests. And to top it all the place is less than five minutes walk to the Vitosha Boulevard pedestrian street and most other Sofia attractions.
I couldn't figure out if this was a 'hostel' or a 'hotel' when booking, but it is more of a hostel type place in that there are common areas. I had a single room (looked just like the one picture with the black bathroom with license plates). Everything appeared to be clean and in good condition. Both the mattress and the pillow could use an upgrade, in that neither one was very firm/fluffy. They were okay, but more on the 'hostel' side than a 'hotel' type.
As someone else mentioned, the kitchen is very narrow so if more than one (maybe two) people are in there at once it would be cramped. No one was ever in there at the same time as me so it was fine. Plenty of kitchen things to cook and eat on site.
Very close to all the main attractions. Check-in and Check-out were easy.
I think there is more than one building. Some of the phones on the website must the the other building. I was in the gray building which had about 3-4 rooms, a kitchen (not the white one pictured here) and dining room. They have a door marked laundry but I don't know if that was available to guests. They also had free snacks (sweets) if you need a little pick me up along the way. Coffee and tea is also free. Soap and shampoo provided in room. (Excuse my mess in the bedroom, should have moved that before the photo but oh well.)
They lost a star due to the laundry being down. It was something I was needing and relying on and it wasn't available. Staff did their best to help but there just weren't other options around that would assist.
Cons:
No laundry
Super squeaky floor and thin walls
Tiny showers
Pros:
Super clean
Great location
Helpful staff

Excellent cozy and homey accommodation conveniently located in the heart of Sofia close to everything. I stayed for almost 3 weeks and there were no issues of any kind. Staff is extremely responsive and welcoming. The property is maintained very well and comfortable. Would definitely stay again.
The property was clean and comfortable and centrally located in Sofia, yet on a quiet side street. Kitchen facilities were available for use and packaged snacks were provided. The reception host was friendly and allowed me to store my bags after I'd checked out. The wifi was not strong in the room.
