Pros:

Geç check in yapmam gerekiyordu 7/24 açık resepsiyon ve ilgili personellerinin oluşu güven verdi. Konumu çok merkeziydi, kaufland a yürüyerek 5 dk yakında billa market de var. Aslanlı köprü ve resmi dairelere de yürüme mesafesinde.

Relax e benessere.
Pros:

Sono rimasta molto soddisfatta dall'accoglienza a quando sono andata, la signora alla reception molto dolce, premurosa e cordiale,ci ha dato delle dritte su come raggiungere alcuni posti.
La posizione dell'albergo è ottima, a due passi dalla metro.
Ritornerò a Sofia e riprenderò lì.
Lo consiglio vivamente.

Cons:

Se proprio devo trovare una pecca, è che non c'è il tappetino nel bagno, ma non so se è nelle loro usanze.
Per il resto tutto perfetto.

Esperienza positiva per soggiorno breve.
Pros:

Ottima posizione. Colazione buona. Staff cordiale.

Cons:

Abbiamo soggiornato nel mese di agosto. In quel paese non fa tantissimo caldo ma comunque di giorno si arriva lo stesso dai 30 ai 32 gradi. Il climatizzatore non era correttamente funzionante. Buttava fuori solo aria ma non fredda. Non riuscivamo a dormire e Abbiamo dormito con la finestra aperta dopo mezzanotte per respirare almeno. Anta della doccia bagno rotta di cui lo staff era già a conoscenza. Prima di continuare ad affittare dovrebbero badare bene le manutenzioni ordinarie almeno. Comunque considerando rapporto qualità prezzo è accettabile. Null’altro da dire per una notte di permanenza.

Disappointing Check-In Experience and Misleading Information, but clean hotel
Pros:

The hotel itself is in a good location but definitely needs renovation.
On the positive side, our room was clean, the towels were clean, and the bathroom was also clean, which we appreciated.

Cons:

Very unpleasant experience upon arrival at the hotel.

The price of our stay was €51.50. At reception, we gave the receptionist a €200 note, but she refused to accept it, saying that she did not have enough change. She told us that we had to go to a grocery shop, buy something, and get change for the €200 note before she would check us in.

However, we could clearly see that she had around €150 in smaller notes in the cash register. We suggested a simple solution: she could give us €150 back, and we would bring her the remaining €1.50 as soon as we had settled into the room and changed a €5 note. We had been travelling for a long time and simply wanted to check in and get to our room.

She completely refused and told us that she would not give us the room key because we could not “owe” the hotel €1.50. In the end, we actually had to leave the hotel, go to a grocery shop, buy something just to get change, and then return to the reception to pay. We found this attitude extremely unprofessional and unwelcoming. A hotel reception accepting cash payments should reasonably be expected to have sufficient change available rather than sending arriving guests out to find somewhere to change their money.

We would, however, like to mention that the second receptionist we dealt with was much more polite, friendly, and professional, which we appreciated.

The second issue was the parking information on Booking.com. At first glance, the listing makes it look as though parking is free, and this was actually one of the reasons why we chose this hotel. Only after looking more carefully do you realize that the parking is paid. According to the information on Booking.com, the parking fee was supposed to be €12, but we were actually charged €15. The parking is indeed very close to the hotel, but access to it is very poor and inconvenient.

Before arriving, I also sent the hotel a message through Booking.com asking for the exact parking location, but I never received a response.

Buena ubicacion

Cons:

El hotel esta bien y el personal es muy agradable.
El problema que les costaba cambiarte las toallas y la cama ni la hacian.
Uno de los dias se nos cayo un producto en el suelo y al llegar al dia siguiente seguia igual durante dos dias... por lo demas todo genial.
