OK for one night stay

OK for one night stay. Staff was polite and helpful. Bed was comfortable. Very outdated room in need of total renovation. Hairs all over the bed and towels.

Sofia on the cheap but well-appointed

Not a bad little hotel in a suburb south of the center. Not the most exciting or convenient location -- it's in a residential neighborhood about 10 minutes from the center by taxi, but if you want cheap, clean, quiet and a hearty Bulgarian breakfast in the morning, this is the spot. Staff was nice too, helped us avoid the usual taxi problems common to this part of the world. Food in the in-house restaurant was delicious and the woman who served us was delightful. Rooms were large by European standards, new-looking, very clean and comfortable.

Quirky, but not a bad choice

Somewhat old fashioned, but the room had plenty of charm. Close to James Bourchier metro station, not much more than 5 minutes walk. Next to the hotel is a small supermarket, useful for supplies and snacks etc (hotel restaurant is only open at breakfast time). The room had many lights, with a total of 16 switches and 2 dimmers to control them all... There was a jacuzzi-style bath, rather ancient, in need of refurbishment and incredibly complicated to operate.

2~3일 현지인 지인이 있다면 괜찮음. 욕실상태, 조식 안좋음

2주이상 현지 지인과 동행할 곳이 많아 지인 가까운 이곳에 머물렀는데, 특히 욕실 냄새와 배수가 문제였어요. 조식도 무성의 했고.(마지막 이틀은 먹고 싶지 않았음) 하지만 Reception하는 Villy라는 여성은 친절하고 착해서 평가를 좀 올렸어요. 이후 Sofia 중심가로 이동했는데 너무 좋네요.

A good short stay

We had a late check-in at 3am in the morning. The person at reception was helpful speeding things up so that we can go straight to our rooms to rest. We booked two triple beds rooms. We had a good short stay at this hotel.

Great Value - Good Location - Thoughtful Service

First off, this is a smoking hotel where guests can smoke in their rooms. If the smell of cigarette smoke really bothers you, this hotel might not be your best choice. Otherwise, we had a spacious room with a small sitting area and 2 big windows - that opened! - looking onto the back courtyard. The room was quiet, the bed comfortable, and the air conditioning was excellent, keeping us cool even during 30°+ days. The wifi was great, too: fast and reliable. Service was lovely. We asked to look at 3 different rooms and the front desk clerk was amenable. One evening, we asked to sit in the pretty seating in the courtyard, and the front desk gentleman intuited that we wanted to have our evening meal there - we had a bag of take-away groceries from the 24-hour supermarket next door - so offered us plates, cutlery, and even glasses for our beers! The room itself might not be the cleanest - walls need a good wiping as do lightswitches and such - but bed linens and the bath were spotless. The location of the hotel is excellent: a 7 minute walk from Bourchier Metro, a cheerful outdoor beer garden at the top of the street as you exit the Metro, and the hotel itself is next to a well-stocked 24-hour supermarket. This hotel is excellent value for money. I'd return.

Hotel 3 stelle per modo di dire

La camera è piccola; la porta della stanza si apriva con difficoltà; la vasca idromassaggio non aveva il tappo quindi niente idromassaggio; la colazione è secondo me la cosa peggiore di questo hotel...il personale è gentile ma non conosce bene l'Inglese quindi fai prima a imparare il Bulgaro per avere qualche informazione. Onestamente, non lo consiglio affatto!

A éviter absolument

A éviter absolument ! Le propriétaire surbooke son établissement. Je me suis retrouvé sans chambre disponible. J'ai dû me réfugier dans un appartement à moitié prix 4 heures après ... Le comble c'est que le propriétaire de l'hotel a encaissé la réservation sans que je ne dorme dans l'hotel!

Buon albergo ben collegato con il centro storico.

La nostra esperienza in questo albergo è stata buona. Abbastanza pulito, personale molto gentile e disponibile. Ci hanno cambiato gli asciugamani tutti i giorni. Il primo giorno siamo usciti e rientrati due volte e tutte e due le volte sono passati a sistemare la camera. Il frigo in stanza non funzionava, ma ci hanno messo a disposizione quello della reception. La colazione non aveva una grande scelta, però tutto sommato andava bene. Una sera abbiamo cenato al ristorante dell'albergo, la fatica fatta per ordinare (visto che il cuoco/cameriere conosceva solo il bulgaro, cmq abbiamo apprezzato gentilezza e impegno) è stata ripagata da un ottimo e abbondante pasto a basso prezzo. A poche centinaia di metri c'è sia la fermata della metro (che non abbiamo mai preso) che una postazione dei taxi consigliati perché economici, con 4/6 lev bulgari (circa 2/3 €) si arrivava al centro storico che si gira facilmente a piedi. Valutazione complessiva buona, (a parte qualche piccolo dettaglio di non molta importanza, visti i bassi costi di pernottamento) l'albergo lo consigliamo.

Not excellent but a nice hotel

It's a little bit far from city centre but not impossible to get there by walking. The room was old but clean. I found some stains in bathroom. Clerks were really nice. It's not perfect but definitely a nice place to stay.
