Pros:

The price was great, and it was close to the metro and the airport. We were able to travel to the city center relatively easily and had a short drive to the airport after we checked out. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Another excellent stay!!
Pros:

We always use this hotel, not only for its convenience for the airport, ( it is only 5 stops on the meteo from the airport), but because of the friendliness and professionalism of the staff, who simply can't do enough for you.
This time, we also used their long term parking facilities, which were very competitive, compared to the regular off-site airport carparks .

Pros:

If there are no windows to open, please insert air from outside, you know, like the big ones do. I hope they are not saving from electric bill, not having the air insertion and filtering, I couldn't breath in the room, I couldn't fall asleep, then I felt more tired after "sleeping", what is wrong with them, even the bathroom had mold due to stale air

Glad it was just 1 night
Pros:

The lobby was freezing. There is no hotel bar - you have to go and request drinks from the restaurant. And the bedroom walls were very thin, meaning we could hear conversation and laughter from the neighbouring room. And the free airport transfer is TO the hotel, not to the airport.

Highly overrated. Nothing to do with its former reputation!
Pros:

Highly inflated prices - do not reflect its current quality. Add to that the broken shower hose in the room where they moved us due to the broken toilet cistern in the original room.
*Силно завишени цени, които не отразяват текущото му качество. Добавете към това скъсаният маркуч на душа във втората стая, където ни преместиха, поради счупеното тоалетно казанче в първоначалната.

Pros:

We were in room 110 and the room was quite expensive . Outside the room was a large amount of ventilation equipment that was going off and on all night. My wife is a light sleeper and could not sleep. Told staff in morning on checkout and was not to bothered. Really was poor experience and no sleep left is with a very uncomfortable trip home .

Major problem,, but the facilities and dining facilitate excellent, but because of the no sleep and the staff not caring will not be returning

Pros:

Basic outdated hotel room, walls are thin and you can hear your neighbors talking or doing the deed. Overpriced for what it offers. Needs renovation and better maintenance. Stuff asked for additional money at check in.

Pros:

I had a wonderful three day stay at the Hotel Expo, the lady at the front desk did a marvellous job assisting me with anything I asked her to explain and show me. A special employee that should be recognized. Room was always made up and tidied when I returned. Easy to get to from the airport by taxi or Metro

Close to airport, not to comfortable for rest
Pros:

Staff were friendly, breakfast was great. Unfortunately the windows don't open and they had a central heating temperature set, meaning you can't adjust your rooms temperature. It was really hot, stuffy, and difficult to sleep without clean air.

Could be better
Pros:

I tried this one for a short stay.
The hôtel is nice but the service was poor. I tried to contact several times the room service to have food : both on phone and the hotel app and I never had any response....

Sound proofing is not a good point of the room as I heard the neighbours several times and also the cleaning team in the corridor.

Main advantage is the proximity with a main road and metro station not far.

Convenient but not relaxing. Well priced.
Pros:

The reception staff on check in was top lady. Very professional, friendly and helpful. The room was designed nicely, however, the walls are so thin that I could hear my neighbours as if we were sharing a room. When you book a 4 star hotel you do not expect to find yourself in a dormitory.

Pros:

The thing that makes this hotel so special is it's reception staff. The quality, commitment and friendliness of the reception team is what has drawn me back to this hotel over many years. They are always professional, understanding and possess excellent English language skills.
