The door would not lock at the property and wouldn’t even close. It was a nightmare checking in with phone calls having to be made just to get a key to get in. The button we were have to get into the building wouldn’t work

Terrible experience

I had to prepare my bed myself. The rooms are very old, the bathroom was smelly and dirty and water was leaking everywhere. No hot water and one could hear everything from neighbors. the only good side is the location, near to everything in the city center

The hotel is in a nice area in the downtown of Sofia. However, the bathroom shower area was a bit filthy, the door of the bathroom didn't close properly, and the floor of the room was not properly clean.

I spent a good deal of time wondering what the big red stain on the curtains could be, and finally decided that even the good answers were pretty bad, and left. Was able to find a hotel in a nicer area for just $5 more, and it was very much worth the upgrade. This hotel was really creepy. Check-in was with the Chinese restaurant next-door. Room was small and located down a ramshackle hallway. Weird sounds at night. Location is pretty good, but I would not recommend to anyone.

Location, location, location!

The location is excellent! Excellent transport route. It is in the middle of the city. There was no one at reception when i arrived about 22:30. Got help from someone to ring the number on the front door and they brought the key and the fob. I didn’t see any kettle, tea or coffee. It is basic but cool, as you can get coffee at next door restaurant.

The location is good, there isn't much choice of budget hotels central. I would stay again but the front desk isn't 24hours and you've got to be patient to check-in. But the staff was very helpful and helped me with a taxi.
