Pros:

A truly wonderful hotel with a great atmosphere and attention to every detail. What impressed us the most was the reception staff – exceptionally kind, helpful, and professional. We felt genuinely welcome throughout our entire stay.

Special thanks to the whole team, and especially to Leo, who made our experience even more enjoyable and memorable. We would gladly visit again and highly recommend it to everyone!

Thank you!

Pros:

Местоположението за нас беше много удобно. Имаше осигурен транспорт до летището в 4,30 сутринта. Момичетата и момчетата на рецепцията са невероятни! Учтиви и всеотдайни към гостите! Искрено сме им благодарни за отношението и за помощта!

Nice staff, hotel need renovation
Pros:

Location is great for conferences and summits near the expo center, also very close to the airport and subway to the centre.

Quiet location. You can completely darken your room and sleep if it not hot in the room (AC not working properly).

Airpost shuttle service was great, staff also. Very nice people.

Cons:

The AC didn't work when the hotel was full. It was superhot in the room, sometimes reaching 28°C. And you cannot open the window.

The water in the shower is supercold if you do not wait cca 10 min for the hot water to arrive.
The shampoo was basically water with maybe 1% of shampoo in ti,, you couldn't wash yourself with it properly.so bring your own shampoo.

The hairdryer is so weak that it takes your 15 min to dry your hair...

The elevator sometimes didn't want to stop at my floor and it was scary.

The hotel should be renovated.

frustrating experience, no refund
Pros:

The stuff at the reception were accommodating when asked if an alternative room could be provided

Cons:

The whole hotel had a very bad cigarette smell throughout the halls and the room. We tried to change but all the rooms were essentially the same. We could not stay inside. Room windows could not be opened and the AC units were not able to deal with the situation. The whole hotel is quite old, and rooms have visual damages from all the previous use. AC units are old and barely working. It's definitely not the place you'd want to come back to.
Most important and most frustrating though that despite what is claimed on Booking the hotel would not cancel the reservation and booked us for the entire stay even though after the room inspection we informed the reception that we will not be staying due to reasons above. So I would advise to ask to inpect rooms before paying for your stay at the reception, to avoid similar experience. Booking customer support also did not help
