Pleasant helpful staff
Pros:

We stayed here for four nights and were very comfortable.Our room was nice and clean and faced the front but it was fairly quiet after 11pm. Nice pub across the road that did food. Hotel restaurant was closed for staff holiday. The Reception staff were very helpful and we will be happy to return later in the year.

Do not recommend
Pros:

Stayed in the hotel for 1 night only for a business trip The hotel is well located in a quite neighborhood, right across a small restaurant. That's all for the good parts.

The room was dirty - stains on the table, in the bathroom, on the floor. Not pleasant at all. The mattress was uncomfortable. Right across our bed were 2 windows - we asked the receptionist if they can put some curtains on (there were curtain rails!) but she said the curtains she had before got stolen so... she didn't put new ones (???). The light in our eyes in the morning was not pleasant.

The Bulgarian flag by the entrance was faded so much you couldn't tell the colors.

It was fine for a 1 night stay but no more.

Quirky, but not a bad choice
Pros:

Somewhat old fashioned, but the room had plenty of charm. Close to James Bourchier metro station, not much more than 5 minutes walk. Next to the hotel is a small supermarket, useful for supplies and snacks etc (hotel restaurant is only open at breakfast time).
The room had many lights, with a total of 16 switches and 2 dimmers to control them all...
There was a jacuzzi-style bath, rather ancient, in need of refurbishment and incredibly complicated to operate.

2~3일 현지인 지인이 있다면 괜찮음. 욕실상태, 조식 안좋음
Pros:

2주이상 현지 지인과 동행할 곳이 많아 지인 가까운 이곳에 머물렀는데, 특히 욕실 냄새와 배수가 문제였어요. 조식도 무성의 했고.(마지막 이틀은 먹고 싶지 않았음)
하지만 Reception하는 Villy라는 여성은 친절하고 착해서 평가를 좀 올렸어요. 이후 Sofia 중심가로 이동했는데 너무 좋네요.

A good short stay
Pros:

We had a late check-in at 3am in the morning. The person at reception was helpful speeding things up so that we can go straight to our rooms to rest. We booked two triple beds rooms. We had a good short stay at this hotel.

Great Value - Good Location - Thoughtful Service
Pros:

First off, this is a smoking hotel where guests can smoke in their rooms. If the smell of cigarette smoke really bothers you, this hotel might not be your best choice.
Otherwise, we had a spacious room with a small sitting area and 2 big windows - that opened! - looking onto the back courtyard. The room was quiet, the bed comfortable, and the air conditioning was excellent, keeping us cool even during 30°+ days. The wifi was great, too: fast and reliable.
Service was lovely. We asked to look at 3 different rooms and the front desk clerk was amenable. One evening, we asked to sit in the pretty seating in the courtyard, and the front desk gentleman intuited that we wanted to have our evening meal there - we had a bag of take-away groceries from the 24-hour supermarket next door - so offered us plates, cutlery, and even glasses for our beers!
The room itself might not be the cleanest - walls need a good wiping as do lightswitches and such - but bed linens and the bath were spotless.
The location of the hotel is excellent: a 7 minute walk from Bourchier Metro, a cheerful outdoor beer garden at the top of the street as you exit the Metro, and the hotel itself is next to a well-stocked 24-hour supermarket.
This hotel is excellent value for money. I'd return.

Hotel 3 stelle per modo di dire
Pros:

La camera è piccola; la porta della stanza si apriva con difficoltà; la vasca idromassaggio non aveva il tappo quindi niente idromassaggio; la colazione è secondo me la cosa peggiore di questo hotel...il personale è gentile ma non conosce bene l'Inglese quindi fai prima a imparare il Bulgaro per avere qualche informazione. Onestamente, non lo consiglio affatto!

Tired Hotel
Pros:

Hotel is a bit tired and my jacuzzi bath was in a poor state. Not much in area but it was only a quick stop over for me.
