Great value for money
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.

Nice stay
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.

Clean and Inexpensive
It's a couple of miles out of town, in a dead residential area, so it's ok if the public transport is still running but, if not, you're at the mercy of taxi drivers who make up the fares as they go along! Hotel itself is smart looking but a bit weary... the shower flooded the bathroom floor and there was no place to have a pleasant drink unless you're a smoker. On the plus side, it was very clean, the beds were comfortable, and it was not expensive.

Standard rooms a little small
Just a one night stopover with family. The immediate hotel vicinity resembles something of a tower block council estate, but there is a very convenient Billa supermarket a stones throw away. The standard rooms were a little disappointing in size and we had to change my mothers due to a smoky smell despite smoking being forbidden. The breakfast was a decent size with plenty of choices. Just a 5 minute walk to the nearest tram stop. Parking for 15 euros a night seemed rather pricy considering the location! Probably the 8th different place I've stayed in Sofia. This one does not remain on my future list though, had parking been free then I would keep it on my list.

We stayed as a rather old beer drinking group and it had all we needed, clean bed, shower, safe wardrobe, drawers. Very close to tram stop to the centre with trams every five minutes. Ten minute walk from bus stop for bus right into Vitosha mountains for a day trip to different bars. Behind the hotel is a lively restaurant and bar used by local families. Lots of Bulgarian/Greek style dancing round the tables (think Zorba the Greek if you are old enough to remember that) there on the Saturday.
