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.

Located right by metro stop so transport links there are perfect. Lovely little restaurant attached to hotel. 5 minute walking distance to nearby market. Reception had an odd smell on arrival but works were being done. Friendly and efficient staff. Spacious and well equipped rooms.
