The Hotel made me feel at home, I loved the size of the rooms. The assistance from the staff was absolutely great. Especially the lady who arranged the kettle for me. :-) I had no issues at the hotel and would stay there again if I had to vist Bulgaria. The cleaning staff was also very friendly.

It would be nice if there was an option to eat breakfast at the Hotel. The room cleaning service wasnt explained beforehand so our rooms were not cleaned on x2 days as we didnt request cleaning beforehand. The cleaning of the rooms were done beautifully though. With care!

Fair price for accommodation in this location. The staff is nice, when at the reception.

However, the bathroom could be much cleaner and the WiFi was terrible if I could even get the signal. The parking is problematic like in every other city center. The green zone allows only four hours a day on the street, but the garage is in about 10 to 15 minutes walking distance.

The staff was exceptionally helpful, and the room was clean and comfortable. Conveniently situated in a quiet area near two parks, with plenty of nearby amenities such as supermarkets, restaurants, and coffee shops.

Extremely helpful staff, great location, nice restaurants around. The rooms are good but not great, a little worn off. There is no desk, so working is a challenge but possible.

Oldish furniture, no proper desk, difficulty with working also in the lobby. Beside that, the hotel was mostly fine.

The staff was very helpful. The location is good, a quiet and peaceful place. Room was clean, lot of TV channels.

No hotel parking at all. The whole area is "Blue zone", meaning we have to pay for parking, but even that was complicated because we have foreign mobile number. So we paid to the owner, who sent sms..
