PROS: centrally located to everything and transportation; they allowed me to check in at 10:00 a.m. instead of waiting until 2:00 p.m. at no extra charge. CONS: Upon entering the hotel I was hit with an overwhelming stench mixed with moldiness (that’s the best way to describe it). No elevator. Walked two flights up to my floor. Couldn’t locate my room because it was located in a very dimly lit area with three doors off the main hallway. The room was very small (not an issue for me) but no WiFi, no towels, no phone, no coffeemaker or kettle, no microwave, no safe, no towels, a thin sheet over a mattress (same for the pillow case). Two thin and dirty smelly blankets in the cupboard. Two small soap bars and a small packet each of shampoo and conditioner. I Went outside and when I returned a woman was spraying liquid on the carpeted steps and using a broom or mop to scrub them. The moldy smell remained through my stay at the hotel. I asked for towels and she brought me one. She said I could only get one towel. The property did not respond when I asked for a second towel. I stayed 3 days/3 nights and not once saw anyone at the reception and not once was the room cleaned or the garbage removed I was instructed by text to leave the key in the reception desk when I checked out. I would not stay here again.

They advertise that they have wifi and laundry. The wifi only works if you sit on an uncomfortable couch by the front desk. There is no laundry service at all. False advertising, slow to respond, and there were cockroaches in the bathroom. Would not stay again.

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.
