It is a hidden gem in Sofia! Very quiet, very clean, close to convenient public transportation. The breakfast can be described in two words - quality and variety. It is newly renovated and well maintained. I highly recommend it.

Great value for money

Hotel a 15 min walk to a metro station. Standard room is a little small but have most things needed and was clean and in good condition. Breakfast was very good with a buffet of cereals, some hot foods, salads, cakes, breads, yoghurts, juices and a coffee machine.

Nice stay

I stayed for one short night, came in 20:00 PM and have ot check out in 04:00 AM for early flight. For one night, it was a perfect stay. The room is small, but clean and functional. There is a big supermarket in front of the hotel. Hotel is far from the center.

Clean and Inexpensive

It's a couple of miles out of town, in a dead residential area, so it's ok if the public transport is still running but, if not, you're at the mercy of taxi drivers who make up the fares as they go along! Hotel itself is smart looking but a bit weary... the shower flooded the bathroom floor and there was no place to have a pleasant drink unless you're a smoker. On the plus side, it was very clean, the beds were comfortable, and it was not expensive.
