Great staff! Cleanliness was ok. The bathrooms definitely need work. One of the biggest issues was that the thermostat can’t be set to less than 25C and it was warm in the room. Breakfast was good.

It was a shame that they have a yoghurt machine, as natural Bulgarian yoghurt is the best in the world. The yoghurt from the machine was very disappointing.

This hotel was clean and near the airport. I do recommend ordering your airport shuttle ahead of time using the hotel’s website. The staff was friendly and very welcoming. The breakfast was very good with variety of choices and a buffet style. The view of the room showed the mountains and my kids loved watching the beautiful sunset. The room was clean and orderly. The location is safe, but industrial so not much to see around.

The towels need replacing - they were old, frayed and with holes. Please check your minibar upon arrival. I was charged a deposit for the minibar, which I only later noticed was completely empty. Luckily, one of the receptionists kindly refunded the money the same day.

Very big spacious rooms, very clean! Front desktop was superb on every shift! If they don’t have a shuttle back to the airport, they will pay for a taxi for you! I would definitely come back to this hotel, especially due to proximity to the airport and how nice the rooms were!

The price was great, and it was close to the metro and the airport. We were able to travel to the city center relatively easily and had a short drive to the airport after we checked out. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Another excellent stay!!

We always use this hotel, not only for its convenience for the airport, ( it is only 5 stops on the meteo from the airport), but because of the friendliness and professionalism of the staff, who simply can't do enough for you.
This time, we also used their long term parking facilities, which were very competitive, compared to the regular off-site airport carparks .

If there are no windows to open, please insert air from outside, you know, like the big ones do. I hope they are not saving from electric bill, not having the air insertion and filtering, I couldn't breath in the room, I couldn't fall asleep, then I felt more tired after \"sleeping\", what is wrong with them, even the bathroom had mold due to stale air

Glad it was just 1 night

The lobby was freezing. There is no hotel bar - you have to go and request drinks from the restaurant. And the bedroom walls were very thin, meaning we could hear conversation and laughter from the neighbouring room. And the free airport transfer is TO the hotel, not to the airport.

We were in room 110 and the room was quite expensive . Outside the room was a large amount of ventilation equipment that was going off and on all night. My wife is a light sleeper and could not sleep. Told staff in morning on checkout and was not to bothered. Really was poor experience and no sleep left is with a very uncomfortable trip home .

Major problem,, but the facilities and dining facilitate excellent, but because of the no sleep and the staff not caring will not be returning

The rooms are outdated and noisy. We could hear guests in adjacent rooms walking in and out all night long. There is no climate control in the room ( either was not working or was disconnected) thus the room was quite cold. The bathroom was also outdated and somewhat dirty- there was hair on the floor and the sink. The service at the restaurant on site was good however the food was mediocre. The property is advertising free parking but it is very difficult , if at all , to find a parking spot since the parking is super small and not for hotel guests only.

Good Hotel, but Airport Transfer not so good

I stayed here on business for 3 nights, on arrival an Airport Shuttle had been organised for me, but it took me to a sister hotel where a free taxi was then ordered. The next day and subsequent days, I was working out of the airport and found that the only way to get to and from was to book a taxi each time, with a total cost of 63.12 Lev ( €32.43), while this is not a massive amount, I do feel rather disappointed that I had to pay every time, including the day of my check out to get to the airport when a Free Shuttle is advertised. I did ask reception about this on every occasion, but they were reluctant to help. The hotel and room were very nice, the breakfast was also good, it is a shame that the Free Airport Shuttle was not free or did not exist. Sadly the next time will be staying in Sofia for work in the coming months, I will have to find a different hotel.

Air conditioning was working only in heating mode. We were not warned about this during check in. There is no window to get freah air in the room and because was pretty warm we turn the airconditioning in cooling mode setting the thermostat to 20 degC before going to bed. We woke up at midnight sweating - thermostat was showing 27 degC. Turned off the airconditioning and temperature in rhe room dropped to 24 degC at 4:00 a mm I will not recommend using this hotel unless he feels comfortable at 24 degC with no fresh air in the room.

The hotel itself is okay. However, there is nothing to eat around the area at 7pm on a Saturday night. The hotel's restaurant was closed, because they had 2 weddings that evening. Never mind that there were other guests in the hotel who were left with nothing to eat for dinner, since the closest restaurant was a 15min walk down the highway. In addition, they placed us on a floor with some of the wedding party. We didn't sleep all night! We had a whole day of flights ahead of us and wanted to stay at a hotel to get a good night's rest. Instead, we slept about 3 hours, constantly being woken up by the noise in the hallway. We understand that people will be noisy during a wedding, but perhaps don't place other guests on the same floor! The person at the front desk was nice and friendly, but he himself was surprised that there was no restaurant available for us. Overall, one of the worst experiences at a hotel I've had. Will not return and will make sure I warn everyone I know.

Dissappointing

Below average, not what you would expect from a 4-star hotel. Gym is neglected and only half-functional. Water fountain bottle is not refilled, no towells, no cleaning in toilets and no toilet paper. Breakfast was a la carte instead of buffet becsuse guest occupancy was low for a buffet. Problem is there's no menu and staff don't speak english. How to order from a menu when there's no menu? Appreciate that occupancy was low but if the hotel will no maintain a certain service level then it should stay closed during the holiday season.

We'll Be Back!

Once a month, we must travel to Sofia. This time, we had an appointment with the nearby Toyota Dealership and decided to stay in a new location. This hotel was outstanding! The room was very comfortable--and the bed the best we've had since moving to Bulgaria! Breakfast was pretty typical, but satisfying. The outdoor courtyard was a lovely place to enjoy, too. Although we couldn't take the time for any sightseeing, we saw that the hotel is conveniently located by the Metro to get to city center.

Good Choice Not Far from Airport

Spacious, comfortable room, good beds, well-appointed bathroom, plenty of storage space. Fast check-in and check-out. Nice restaurant on the premises. Very good breakfast included with room price. The hotel is on a busy road with car dealerships, office buildings, but we didn´t see any restaurants or shopping within walking distance, so you´d definitely need a car. A short distance from the airport, which was our main priority. Price seemed rather high for very inexpensive Sofia.

Bedrooms are to hot as ac doesn’t work

The room air conditioning does NOT work. No matter how low you put it you will cook in the room. When we checked in we heard a woman complaining and I did so as I was checking out. You can’t open windows in room so the sleep was uncomfortable.
I explained this to the employee as I checked out and he didn’t offer anything he just said “yes the ac is working too hard”. I never write reviews but felt it’s important as they need to do something. I also spoke to another guest in the hotel and he said it was unbearable.
Other than that a good hotel. Shame they won’t try to assist when you complain.

One of the my terrible hotel experiences ever

They gave a executive room and it was not nice.
The main bedroom has no enough lights....
It was the same floor with the air condition system of the hotel ( Floor 1 ) Even we have asked a quiet room because we came from Thessaloniki by car and we only wanted to stay a night and next morning continue to drive. They said '' Ok the room is opposite side of the highway '' , but the same side with full airconditions equipments and the same floor.
The breakfast was is terrible.
Coffee machine was not working.
Then I tried the juice and got a glass of orange juice , they probably used 1 liter water for one drop of orange.
I will never stay that hotel anymore.

This hotel is the only one you really want to stay at when you're going for a conference at the Expo Center in Sofia. The hotel itself offers a near perfect service, the expo center is litterally 2 minutes walk away, and if you want to go in town, a further 2 min walk will take you to the metro station. Execpt that, don't count on any other interesting surroundings.

The location next to the Inter Expo is good, but that's about it. The hotel itself is fine, but when we were there the AC was completely not functioning for the whole hotel. It was muggy because of the rain and so the stay was brutal. For the money, get a hotel in downtown Sofia (near Vitosho Blvd) and just take the Metro if you need to get to the Inter Expo.
