“In my opinion, this is a strategically situated hotel close to Vitosha Boulevard, making city exploration straightforward. The rooms appear modern and well-maintained, judging by the reports, and the provision of tea and coffee is a welcome touch. While some reports mention inconsistent service, the location and overall facilities, in my opinion, make this a worthwhile consideration for both business and leisure trips.”

i enjoyed the excellent location just off the main street. it made walking to various sights very easy. the breakfast offered amazing value and i particularly loved the diverse options. i also appreciated the secure building that gave me a sense of safety .

the refrigerator in my room made a bit of noise, so i unplugged it to sleep better.

the location was perfect for shopping and access to restaurants. staff were friendly (i even borrowed an iron).

the room was quite old. the pictures looked better than reality (i think they were from better days). the air conditioning barely worked at all . keeping the windows open wasn't an option because of the noise.
