The room was not clean. In fact someone had drawn a smiley face in the dust above the tv. It also seemed that the sheets had not been changed as there was fit and debris under the made comforter.

First off, i picked this place becasue of location. IMO best location. I have stayed at this hotel 5 times in the last ten years. it seems to me, with every stay, the place looks worse and offers less than before. New ownership etc. Used to be the best in town and now it has that old musty hotel odor. Will i stay here next time , i come to Sofia, most likely..
