Dobra opcja na szybki służbowy wypad, ale dojazd przez korki
Pros:

Hotel leży na skraju gigantycznego parku - to na wielki plus. Wnętrza zostały niedawno wyremontowane - jest świeżo i czysto. Bogaty bufet śniadaniowy i bardzo pomocni i przyjaźni pracownicy. Pokój świeżo po remoncie, bardzo czysto i nie za gorąco (kto jeździ służbowo jesienią i zimą do Bułgarii ten wie o co chodzi).

Cons:

Hotel położony na skrzyżowaniu ruchliwych ulic. Jest głośno i nieciekawie. Dojazd koszmarnie zakorkowaną aleją. W okolicy poza parkiem, nic ciekawego nie ma.

Pros:

Очень продуманій дизайн номера.

Две комнаты, и при этом абсолютно не стесненные пространства. Система кондиционирования не дует тебе в постель, а равномерно регулирует температуру помещения. Два туалета, один с очень большим посадочным местом. Душевая - очень просторная и не кабинка, Огромное количество зеркал в рост, освещение - 10 баллов. Много подсветок, не требующих полного освещения номера,
Ребенок спал в одной комнате на софе, мы с женой в другой комнате с балконом.
Кофемашина Illy - это уже показатель. Есть паркинг - 7,67 евро, по ценам Болгарии - это вообще ничего.
В каждой комнате - Smart TV, производитель - LG.
Не расчитывайте на супер вид из окна некоторых номеров, потому что рядом есть стройка (финальная стадия). Но она абсолютно не нарушает ваш покой и тишину. Всё это с лихвой компенсируется комфортом самого номера. Тем более что окон много, все они с испанскими ролетами и блек-аут шторами и тюлью.
Впечатления от номера такие, как будто отдыхал в своей хорошей квартире с дорогим дизайнерским ремонтом.

В целом отель очень уютый, приятно посидеть с друзьями в лобби бара или в ресторане.
Есть даже длинная барная стойка со стульями, а также столики в саду.
В отеле все чисто и красиво.

Если ребята выдержат марку - будет очень здорово.
