Very nice hotel in walking distance to many Sofia attractions: cathedrals, palace/museum, art galleries, archaeological museum, etc. plus metro and bus/tram lines. We really enjoyed the adjoining Italian restaurant.

Old and loud.
The hotel is very old and the tub is so deep and slippery. I was so scared of taking a shower. At night time there was partying and drinking until dawn. It gets so loud we couldn’t sleep. And in the morning trucks come by to collect alcohol bottles from the street.

It’s at least a bed to sleep in.
It’s a bed to sleep in…. The entrance to the hotel is very nice. Then you get in your room and there are major stains all over the carpet, holes in the wall, smears of “something” on the wall, tape over power outlets, etc. it is centrally located and the staff were very friendly.

Nope.
This hotel is a disaster. It seems like it is a run down old apartment building or rooming house.It is no lobby. The ceiling at the front desk had a 6x6 foot hole in it. The only thing LGTB about it was the wallpaper in the elevator. The rooms are old - nothing has been renovated. There was no hot water in the shower.

Zimmer auf den ersten Blick modern. Auf den zweiten Blick viele Details kaputt. Klimaanlage funktionierte zwar, konnte aber nur direkt nach unten wegen. Eine andere Einstellung, wie Schwenken, war nicht möglich und kühlte daher das Zimmer deutlich langsamer runter. Das Bad ist sehr eng, der Wasserdruck in der Dusche gering. Das Frühstuck findet in einem alten Saal mit Holzverkleidung statt - kein Vergleich zum durchdesignten Zimmer/Hotelflur. Das Frühstück selbst ist kein kontinentales Frühstück, eher lokal. Rührei und Spiegeleier sind jeden Tag kalt serviert. Kaffee OK. Alles Speisen sind ungekühlt, d.h. auch Wurst und Käse.
