Muy buena relación calidad-precio, si regreso a Sofía me volveré a alojar aquí
Pros:

La ubicación es excelente, la entrada está justo enfrente de una boca de metro (a solo una parada de Serdika) y al lado de paradas de autobús y tranvía, aunque nosotras fuimos andando a casi todas partes. En los alrededores hay un Lidl y muchos otros comercios y establecimientos.

El desayuno es muy bueno, se sirve en una cafetería anexa al hotel con acceso directo e incluye zumo de naranja natural, café de especialidad y un plato a elegir (salado o dulce) de un menú cerrado pero preparado al momento. La recepción está disponible 24h. Envié un mensaje por Booking puesto que olvidé pedir con antelación un desayuno para llevar del día siguiente, y al volver por la tarde lo tenían preparado (agua, una manzana y un croissant mixto). También se agradece que pudimos hacer el check-in antes de tiempo porque ya tenían la habitación lista, y el último día pudimos guardar el equipaje en consigna sin problema.

Las camas eran cómodas, la TV contaba con canales en español y la habitación era muy amplia. Estaba equipada con cafetera, hervidor de agua, secador y un armario grande. Todos los días cambiaron las toallas y nos pusieron amenities nuevos. Pudimos descansar perfectamente, ya que no había ningún tipo de ruido de otros huéspedes.

Cons:

Por poner algún detalle a mejorar para que la estancia fuera totalmente perfecta: el aparato de aire acondicionado de la habitación hacía bastante ruido, por lo que valdría la pena que lo revisasen, ya que es molesto si lo usas como calefacción.

Como sugerencia para el desayuno, añadiría alguna opción dulce más, puesto que solo había dos tipos de croissant frente a varias alternativas saladas. Asimismo, sería un gran detalle que en el picnic o desayuno para llevar incluyesen alguna opción de café, aunque fuera frío.
