Както винаги до сега - хареса ми всичко!
Pros:

Както винаги до сега - хареса ми всичко: разположението, паркинга даже ми бяха осигурили мястото за паркиране на инвалид, стаята, чистотата, персонала и закуската.

Avoid for at least the next couple of months
Pros:

Cleanliness

Cons:

The entire south side of the hotel is only a few metres away from a major demolition site. Excavators and concrete-breaking machinery start operating at 8:00 a.m., just a few metres from the balconies. The noise is extremely disruptive, yet the ongoing demolition work was not disclosed in the listing. The room was clean inside, but the accommodation was absolutely unfit for purpose due to the severe construction noise.
