The hotel is, honestly, past its prime. However, given the exceptionally low price, one knows that going in. Given that, it was clean and comfortable and walkable to all of the major attractions in Sofia.

While the lobby has been renovated, the room we stayed in was not in great condition. The beds are relatively new, however, everything else is from Communist times and falling apart. Has a balcony. Somebody had smoked either in this room or in one connected to this one via the bathroom vent as the cigarette smell was heavy when we checked in. Location is very good and central. Would have chosen another central hotel for the same price had I known the state of the rooms Staff was courteous. Would probably had chosen another centralsame

The location is excellent, near the major monuments, restaurants and parks. The check in was stressful, with the reception insisting that I had cancelled the rooms (I had cancelled one day out of three). It took us some time to correct the misunderstanding. Otherwise, the hotel is clean and quiet.

Awful check in. Lobby packed when I arrived(coach party?) popped out for a beer and when I came back the single woman on the desk struggled to cope. WiFi in room was useless-I had to go down to the lobby to update email etc. Overall the condition of the room showed a need for complete refurbishment, which should include additional soundproofing.
