Καλή προταση για κεντρικό ξενοδοχείο στη Σόφια
Pros:

Πολύ καλο πρωινό, τέλεια τοποθεσία

Cons:

Η εξυπηρέτηση στη ρεσεψιον δεν ήταν καλή και η αναμονή για το δωμάτιο αλλά και για απλές ερωτήσεις (πχ πάρκινγκ) πολύ αργές.

Τιμή- τοποθεσία: εξαιρετικά ικανοποιητική. Δωμάτιο καθαρό. Πολύ καλό πρωινό. Το προσωπικό ήταν ευγενικό. Όταν επισκεφτώ ξανά την Σόφια, θα κάνω κράτηση στο ίδιο ξενοδοχείο.
