super lokalizacja, ale śniadania to bardzo duży minus
Pros:

Bardzo dobra lokalizacja. Brak hałasu z ulicy.

Cons:

Wszystkie potrawy, które powinny być gorące były zimne. Byliśmy pierwszymi jedzącymi na stołówce, a więc nie było możliwości, że potrawy wystygły. Temperatura jakby przygotowywano je poprzedniego dnia.

Prima.
Pros:

Het hotel is vanaf de luchthaven bereikbaar met de metro. Het ligt midden tussen de binnenstad en de uitgaanswijk. Prima kamer, bedden, badkamer, inloopdouche. Aardige mensen. Wij hadden schitterend uitzicht op de berg Vitosha.

Cons:

Lopend met krukken miste ik danig een leuning bij de trap voor de ingang, en in heel Sofia trouwens. De 'lounge' is adequaat. De koffieautomaat daar werkt alleen op muntgeld. Het ontbijt zou breder gesorteerd mogen zijn, maar we hebben genoten van de gastvrijheid.

Pros:

Location is really the gem of this hotel, nice lobby, the room was big, they advertised it was not renovated yet and you could tell, old furniture, smelly but clean.

Cons:

For being a 4 star hotel, not complimentary water or coffee in room, you have to purchase at the lobby.
