Pros:

Jos haluat asua lähellä lentokenttää, suosittelen.

Kuljetuspalvelu vie terminaaliin sekä metroasemalle, josta pääsee kätevästi sofian keskustaan.

Pas mal
Pros:

Le lit est excellent 👍🏼
La salle de bains aussi

Cons:

Les traces de moisissures noir dans la salle de bains
Et les portes d'entrée qui claquent comme des explosions chaque fois qu'on la laisse se refermer toute seule

Cons:

Honestly the guy at the reception was very weird. I had to pay city tax for both rooms when I was checking in, which is fine but it was €4.50 and I tried to give him €20 and what he said to me was oh no no you’re giving me too much. Um what do you mean? Do you want my money or not? That’s what I have and that’s why change exists.
The pillows were rock hard, the bed uncomfortable, one of the pillows smelled like scalp, like it hadn’t been washed after use. Charging €150 per room for a shit hole, where people with nasty attitudes work is absolutely ridiculous. I don’t care that it’s at the airport.

Pros:

Очень удобное расположение. Возле аэропорта. Бесплатный трансфер, это большой плюс. Также можно оставить автомобиль 5€ сутки. При раннем выезди всегда дают еду в дорогу. Останавливаюсь уже первый раз и всегда остаюсь доволен. Всем советую.

prima als je dichtbij luchthaven wilt zijn en graag in een sauna slaapt
Pros:

personeel was vriendelijk, kamer was prima wat betreft hygiene en grootte. locatie was dichtbij vliegveld

Cons:

De kamer was enorm warm wel 30 graden, ik kon de temperatuur niet aanpassen, moest het raam open doen maar dat was niet voldoende. Daarnaast hadden we gegeten in het restaurant: enorm slechte kwaliteit
