Helpful staff, easy parking. Clean but slightly outdated facilities.
It is a hidden gem in Sofia! Very quiet, very clean, close to convenient public transportation. The breakfast can be described in two words - quality and variety. It is newly renovated and well maintained. I highly recommend it.

The trip was good. The hotel rooms air-conditioning was not working complained they swapped rooms for me and gave me a bigger room with no extra cost. That was amazing. Well done to them.
Hotel a 15 min walk to a metro station. Standard room is a little small but have most things needed and was clean and in good condition. Breakfast was very good with a buffet of cereals, some hot foods, salads, cakes, breads, yoghurts, juices and a coffee machine.
I stayed for one short night, came in 20:00 PM and have ot check out in 04:00 AM for early flight.
For one night, it was a perfect stay. The room is small, but clean and functional. There is a big supermarket in front of the hotel. Hotel is far from the center.
One of the worst hotels I ever stayed. I booked Standard room and it was very small, smelly with dated furniture. Bed with mattress was old, dirty, uncomfortable. Unpleasant room.
Breakfast wasn't good either 😐 with very cheap quality of products.
I read a reviews before to book & I still don't understand how can be 8.4 on Booking??????
Just one + it is a Free Parking.
Never again.

Don’t try and not lose your money.
We made our reservation through hotels.com. After reviewing the website, we based our decision on the appearance of the rooms and the reviews.
Upon arrival, we noticed that the rooms were poorly maintained, with stains and dirt on the curtains and drapes, and that the rooms were stuffy and damp. Rooms diffrent from photos.
When we asked reception for towels, they asked why we needed them. When we asked for slippers, they told us they weren't required to provide them.
breakfast was served until 10:00 on our first day, we taker our foods before 10:00. While we were chatting and enjoying our breakfast, the staff stood over us and, in a rude manner, asked us to leave the breakfast room. They cleared the plates from the table without asking permission. I recommend that the hotel management encourage their staff to behave more politely.
Excelente elección, por ubicación, parking, limpieza y atención del personal. El desayuno también es francamente bueno en variedad y calidad.

Sehr laute Straße, zimmer okay, beim Frühstück zuwenig Platz daher muss man im Wintergarten sitzen, wo allerdings das Rauchen erlaubt ist - und man von rundherum "eingeraucht" wird.
Personel güler yüzlü ilgili, ücretsiz otoparkı olması büyük avantajdı şehir merkezine yürüme mesafesindeydi (25 dakika) ama yanında isterseniz metro vardı. Kahvaltı gayet yeterliydi.
Hôtel classique proche banlieue et relativement bon marché. Petit-déjeuner classique. Emplacement pratique pour se rendre en centre ville via le tramway en prenant le n⁰ 5, à défaut ligne 15, en oins de 5 mn.
