Great value and location
Pros:

The location is very close to the center and Vitoshka street. The breakfast offered a wide variety and the rooms are comfortable. The hotel is 5 minutes away from a green zone parking which is very affordable if you only need to park for a few hours or overnight.

Cons:

The room was pictured to include a bathtub but there was not in our case. After showering, the water pooled in the bottom of our bathroom and it was very slippery. The room interior was a bit dated but for the low price it offered a good overall value.
