Moreto & Caffeto should perhaps be called Magnifico & Comodo, for it is truly a gem of the Balkans. The owner, born in the middle of unforgiving Siberia, has done an incredible job turning the hostel into an oasis of comfort, ensuring your stay is warmer than a shot of vodka, and more serene than a trip down the Volga. Moreto & Caffeto has it all: a cozy common area where new friends and great conversation are plentiful, a quaint kitchen for all your cooking desires, and an extraordinary group of volunteers who go out of their way to ensure your sojourn in Sofia is as pleasant as possible.
In only four short days, the wonderful volunteers of Moreto & Caffeto exposed me to a night of intense (no spinning) foosball against a world class Belgian, a relaxing evening of world cup football and riveting repartee, a free pub crawl run by an enigmatic Englishman with incredible hair, and a do-it-yourself pizza party where bizarre Australian drinking games were quick to follow.
Whether you are a prince of Luxembourg, a pauper of Canada, or a defector of North Korea, the marvelous staff of Moreto & Caffeto will welcome you with open arms, helping you discover the best Sofia has to offer! I highly recommend staying at Moreto & Caffeto, as it is a homey little hostel run by lovely people from all over the world.
