Pros: The location of the hotel was excellent. The room had all we need.

Cons: The breakfast was not really good. The choice of breakfast is limited; you can choose between six kinds of breakfasts and a combination is not possible. Continental breakfast included four croissants ...

Subpar spot, can do better

Pros: Very spacious room. Good fixtures in the bathroom.

Cons: Stains on the wall, rank smell in the bathroom, very soft beds. Our window looked directly into a slummy apartment across the alley. Wifi only worked in the lobby, but not the rooms very well. Also the location is not as good as it appears, the nicer area of town is definitely to the south nearer the cathedral church and Vitosha Street. The staff was very indifferent as well.

Pros: Wifi was ok.

Cons: Staff was uninformed, indifferent. Located in dicey part of town- didn't look safe to go out (nothing nearby appealed anyway). Hallway of my room stank. No shower curtain. Dangerous lobby- steep stairs to reg desk and no railing?!
