    The shower is not well separated from the rest of the bathroom, only with a curtain, and it gets wet all over the floor when you use it.

    This is a very quiet place with a lot space and a park around, very close to transport options. It has its own huge parking. We were staying on working days and had 4 options brekafast.

    The bed was not the best but I guess you can not have it all.

    The reception staff were excellent on every level. A great deal of support available if you are a foreigner. The restaurant in the evening had good service and a wide range of food. The breakfast was good value. The hotel is the airport side of Sofia and there is an excellent public transport system into the centre of the city.

    The size of the room is small and the outer door is thin. Sometimes you can hear people walking and talking in the common areas.

    The hotel is old style, but clean and with spacious loby and restaurant areas. Advantages are the excelent location, breakfast and parking with secutity guards. Good value for money.

    Like all older hotels, there needs to be more electrical outlets. However, this room did have two extension cords with triple outlets. Be prepared to walk up 25 stairs to the rooms. They only accept cash in the form of Bulgarian Leva. But, the price of the room, and the location, make it all worthy while.

    This was the 4th or 5th time I have stayed at this hotel. If you need to be near the airport (and don't want to spend a fortune on a hotel room) this is the place to stay. Early in the morning, it takes about 10 minutes by car or taxi to get to Sofia airport. The hotel was obviously build during the communist era, but the rooms have been updated (new air-conditioner/heater, updated lighting). There is a large supermarket about 500 metres to the east (Kauflands). The rooms are clean, the bathrooms have been slightly updated, but retain the traditional Bulgarian wet-room shower concept. This time we stayed in room 3, which was better than room 5 (that we stayed in last time). Just two single beds, a modern TV (which we have never used), two small side tables, a decent desk and chair, a wardrobe, and hooks to hang things on when you enter the room. The parking lot is secured at night, and there are plenty of parking places.

    The single bed of the Junior Suite is not comfortable because it's not a normal bed. I wouldn't recommend the Junior Suite for more than 2 nights.

    Free and safe parking area. 20min walking distance to Arena Sofia.

    I would suggest adding a coffee maker to the set of the equipment of the room.

    It has been a very decent stay for quite a small money. Everything in the room was fresh and clean, with all appliances functional. The staff were friendly and helpful. I liked the location of the hotel, just ten driving minutes from the airport. I have been staying with this hotel a few times in the past and I can recommend this hotel to my friends.

    This is an updated communist style hotel. We stayed in room 4, which is not a large room, but adequate in size. The beds are comfortable. The room was clean. We have stayed at this hotel four times, so we know exactly what to expect. The hotel is very convenient if you need to get to Sofia Airport (about a 10 minute drive away). There is a large supermarket about 500 metres to the east. There is ample parking which is guarded day and night.

    There is no metro station in vicinity, which is my prefered method of movement around Sofia. It took me some time to find out about the other options.

    This is an old fashion place, built during the socialist era, that preserved the oddities of the time it was constructed. For people who are interested in the architecture and the specifics of hospitality from that period, and for those feeling nostalgic, this is an excellent place to stay in. We have stayed there before and enjoy going back. It is comfortable, quiet, clean. Easy to reach by car. The staff is nice and helpful, The food in the restaurant is good. There is a vast parking lot and a few good shops and restaurants in the area. The location isn't very central, but if you are looking for a quiet retreat, that is not a problem. The transportation to the center is possible by trams, buses, and by car/taxi.
