Mimo małych niedogodności, serdecznie polecam
Pros:

Lokalizacja, jakość i rozmiar pokoju, czystość. Wyposażenie pokoju

Cons:

W pokoju po odnowieniu nie można było znaleź żadnego minusa. Jednak nie działała klimatyzacja. Jasne było, że brak zasilania - wystarczyło sprawdzić słuchawkami, że nie buczało. 2h czekaliśmy na technika, który nie miał przy sobie nawet probówki, tylko drabinę. Dał nam prawdziwy show. Wziął pilota od klimy, wszedł na drabinę i przykładając pilota (dotykając) do klimy co centymetr wręcz próbował uruchomić ją. Miał cierpliwość, próbował tak przynajmniej 200 razy. W przerwach wkładając rękę w tylną część kombinezona roboczego i drapiąc się po bardzo dolnej części pleców. Po 2 h wyszedł i wrócił po 40 min powtórzył spektakl z innym pilotem, po fiasku prób stwierdził, że „nie rabotajet” i w poniedziałek zewnętrzna firma sprawdzi wszystko (byłem tylko na weekend). Kiedy mu powiedziałem, że tak naprawdę nic nie zrobił, bo nawet nie sprawdził bezpieczników, obraził się, powiedział, że on tu jest konserwatorem a od naprawy ma firmy zewnętrzne. Na szczęście w dzień zwiedzaliśmy wspaniałą Sofię, a wieczorem wiał chłodny wiaterek ze wzgórz, więc te niedogodność można pominąć (chociaż nie chciałbym tego powtórzyć w środku lata). Mimo wszystko bardzo polecam. Na pewno tam wrócę.

Nice hotel in Sofia
Pros:

Alojamiento cómodo aunque nos tocó una habitación en una zona que no había sido remodelada y se notaba bastante antiguo. Muy buena ubicación.

Cons:

La limpieza del baño muy mejorable.

Pros:

It was in a perfect location

Cons:

The parking hotel was 21 euros per day, that was more expensive than the parkings in front of hotel witch does not make any sens.

Pros:

Location - the hotel is right in the centre, ideal for exploring both the tourist sights and the nice cafes. The hotel has a (payable) parking garage. The renovated apartment was nicely done

Cons:

Even though advertised as a “penthouse apartment” the apartment was not on the top floor. Except a small fridge there were no facilities for self-catering. The apartment is freshly renovated, but some signs of wear and tear are already visible.

Αρκετά καλό
Pros:

Η τοποθεσία είναι τέλεια. Είναι ακριβώς στο κέντρο. Το δωμάτιο ήταν πολύ καθαρό και μεγάλο (μείναμε σε ανακαινισμένο). Το προσωπικό ήταν ευγενικό. Πολύ βολικό το ότι διαθέτει το ξενοδοχείο δικό του κλειστό παρκινγκ (η τιμή βέβαια είναι κάπως τσιμπημένη - 21 ευρώ/βραδιά).

Cons:

Για την τιμή που πληρώσαμε, το πρωινό θα έλεγα ότι ήταν φτωχό. Και ο χώρος όπου προσφέρεται το πρωινό μάλλον χρειάζεται να ανακαινιστεί.

Pros:

Staff were amazingly friendly and helpful. The room was spotless and great value for money. Central to the city so a great location.

Cons:

Breakfast wasnt to my taste, however, there were lots of people tucking into it whilst I was there so I'm certain its just my taste it wasnt suited to.
