Perfect for a few nights in Sofia! It is walking distance to the bus station and the metro station that takes you to the airport. It is clean and spacious. Only thing is you hear the trams going and coming. Not too bad but if you’re a light sleeper just fyi.

Very good hotel, especially given its price. The location is not terrible, but you so have a 10 minute walk to reach the central metro statiob ehich is probably the one you'll use. Staff was friendly and helpful, not always at the front desk so sometimes you have to wait a while at the lobby. Apart from that, rooms were perfectly clean and fitted the pictures on here.
