Popcorn Hostel rules and useful information

We strictly enforce the following times. They are inflexible:

• Check-in: after 2:00 PM

• Check-out: before 11:00 AM

Guests can cancel reservations at any time. Reservations are non-refundable — the full reservation price will be charged.

Passport mandatory for non-EU citizens, ID for EU citizens. Driver licenses are not accepted.

Please upload an unmodified copy of your document. False, altered or unclear documents will result in cancellation.

Summer: 25°C · Winter: 21°C.

These temperatures follow Romanian law and target overall guest comfort. Neither guests nor staff are allowed to adjust the settings.

Quiet hours: 22:00 – 09:00.

During this window please avoid noise in common areas and dorms so every guest sleeps well. Normal-volume conversations in the courtyard are fine if they do not disturb the neighbours.

All Popcorn Hostel dorms are shared and mixed-gender — men and women stay in the same dorm, regardless of dorm type. We do not offer gender-separated, private or single dorms.

The 2-bed dorm is also a shared dorm. If you book both beds, only guests in your booking use that dorm, but staff may enter at any time.

Staff may enter any dorm at any time, including dorms fully booked by one person or one group. Staff do not knock before entering.

In a hostel with shared dorms, guests must never be in embarrassing situations in the dorm. Decent clothing and decent behaviour are required at all times, day and night.

Guests are responsible for making their beds during their stay. Black mattress covers are permanent and washed monthly — sleeping directly on them is forbidden.

Only the white bedding (sheets, pillowcases) is changed after each guest leaves.

Decent attire is mandatory, including in dormitories and hallways. Walking around with only a towel around the waist is forbidden.

We reserve the absolute right to refuse entry or evict any individual without compensation for any unutilized stay if behaviour compromises the safety, security or experience of other guests.

Staff may cancel any reservation or deny entry without explanation. No refunds will be issued in these cases.

Use of facilities involves inherent risks. Hostel representatives are not liable for harm except for damages directly resulting from negligent actions as defined by law.

Children under 16 are not permitted on the premises.

No pets are allowed.

Smoking is not allowed in dorms or common spaces. Designated smoking areas are provided outside.

Use a towel and non-slip slippers when entering the shower.

Firearms, projectile-capable items, sharp/bladed weapons, blunt instruments, explosives, flammable substances, illegal drugs and toxic substances are strictly forbidden.

Be aware of stairs, hallways and bathrooms — slipping risk is high. Visitors fully assume these risks.

The hostel does not guarantee permanent parking. Absence of parking is not grounds for cancellation.

Access may be limited for technical, cleaning or maintenance reasons. No reductions or refunds are issued in such cases.

Individuals with severe physical or mental disabilities who require supervision are welcome, provided they are accompanied by an adult and do not disturb other guests.

The hostel assumes no responsibility for items forgotten, lost or allegedly stolen within the premises.

Guests are liable for damages caused by their behaviour, including damages to third parties.

To maintain a harmonious environment, please avoid discussions involving politics, sexual orientation, religion and COVID-related matters within the hostel.

Any dispute will first be addressed amicably. If not possible, it falls under the jurisdiction of the court in Bucharest.

The hostel reserves the right to modify its policies without prior notice.

The hostel reserves the right to take legal action to obtain compensation from any guest who does not comply with its rules.

By staying at our hostel, you acknowledge and consent to these rules unconditionally.
