From reading other damning reviews on this hotel I was apprehensive about staying as I’m quite fussy about where I stay, however we were on a boys weekend and wanted somewhere, clean, cheap, with a bar and central location, all which this hotel offered. The rooms are basic, I would compare them to an old style travel lodge in the... More

I stayed in this hotel dozens of times over the years as the company I work for had a contract for accommodation. Changes are few and far between, are two renovated floors and a breakfast room is dark and depressing. I suggest staying for no more than night or two.

Not a 4 stars hotel, but in our case we were searching for a decent economy room for the 3 days we were going to spend in Sofia. So, for appr. 23 euros per night in double room with breakfast, we got: a clean room in the 6th floor (the decoration was out-of-date of course but the view was great),... More

Interesting hotel. I guess four stars in Bulgaria are something completely different than in the rest of the world, because this would be a 2+ or a 3- hotel anywhere else. The rooms are clean, but look like they are form the Soviet era. I was just waiting to see Stalin coming out from one of the rooms. Towels were... More

A very unique hotel in the middle of Sofia. It has a great piano bar and also a night club as well as a casino (though I was refused entry for wearing my kilt!). Nice enough hotel by Eastern European standards, with at least a few things to keep you occupied at night if you don't wish to wander around... More

An old-style concrete monolith from the Communist era but clean and well kept and run. Generally dark interior decor, with modest breakfast. Plenty facilities including leisure centre, casino and bars/cafe/restaurants. Overall well run and still good value at an advertised price of 70 Euro per night.
