Pros:

Cabina de dormit micuță, dar foarte drăguță, comodă, aranjată cu bun gust. Puntea superioară-restaurantul-foarte frumos, cu un view minunat asupra Dunării. Prețurile accesibile și raportul calitate-preț foarte decent. Aerul în cabină și toaletă plăcut și proaspăt

Cons:

Hârtia igienică s-a rupt în așa fel încât nu am mai putut extrage din carcasa ei.

Pros:

I cane here to experience sleeping on a ship. It was interesting, the ship ia well maintained, the reception area and the inside restaurant are the best.
The staff of the reception and deck restaurant are superrr nice and friendly, we had an amazing interaction with them.
The food on the deck restaurant was good.
The large deluxe rooms are very nice and more attention is given into cleaning them, while the smaller rooms (cheaper) i am not sure how well they are cleaned. I can say this because i booked both of them. I personally chose to go to Lidl and buy disinfectant wipes and disinfected the entire room, removed the dead mosquitos splashed on the ceiling myself.
Also from time to time the personell should clean the windows as well.

Otherwise it was a nice experience, i would recommend it to my friends which are not so picky.

Страхотно преживяване, което си заслужава. Препоръчвам.
Pros:

Страхотна локация, чисто и уютно. Беше истинско преживяване не просто нощувка.

Cons:

Климатикът беше малко слаб и следобяд става топло в каютата.

Pros:

Very nice place. We spend a night during our way back to home from Greece. They offered late check in with no charge. The restaurant is open later in the night.

A great stay
Pros:

Accommodation was far better than I expected (booked a studio and I highly recommend this). Very spacious, loads of wardrobe and cupboard space etc and really clean. I was not expecting two bathrooms in the room with excellent showers in both, so this was lovely. The boat itself is very stylish with all the restaurants and bar beautifully maintained. Because the weather was so good, we enjoyed eating and relaxing on the top deck which is delightful with a small pool. Staff were all very friendly, helpful and efficient. And what an amazing location on the Danube. Parking was no problem and FREE! We will definitely be back to stay again - hopefully for a longer break; just one night was not long enough.

Cons:

The gangplank to the boat is rather steep and can be slippery in the wet, although there are handrails. I am being ' picky', but a fridge, and tea and coffee facilities in the room would have made this a perfect stay.

Бяхме много приятно изненадани... Стаите са чисти, гледката е прекрасна, а всички от персонала са изключително отзивчиви и усмихнати! С удоволствие ще посетя отново, препоръчвам и на други!

Pros:

Pas trop cher comme tarif et dépaysant d'être sur un bateau. La piscine est très appréciable en période de fortes chaleurs et il n'y a pas grand monde qui en profite. Même si nous ne dînons pas au bateau, autour de la piscine nous profitons de l'ambiance musicale.

Cons:

Petit déjeuner et restaurant sont à des prix élevés. Nous avions une cabine pour 2 et c'est vraiment très petit. Pas d'équipement évidemment, ni frigo, ni bouilloire, du coup, pour avoir des boissons fraîches, il faut les acheter au bar à des prix prohibitifs. Le personnel est en minimum vital pour l'aide (ce n'est évidemment pas vrai pour tous)

Pros:

Boat Hotel Sofia, is not for people looking for luxury. I’d say it’s more adventures, something different from standard hotels. The rooms are not very big, especially for two people, but they have everything you need - shower with toilet, wardrobe, table, sink in the room, tv, bar, restaurant …
We liked a lot the food in the restaurant, the music and the service we received.
