surprisingly good stay

the location is very convenient for travel as it is a short walk to the train and bus terminal. i found late self check-in very easy and without any issues. the communication and instructions were great for gaining entry after hours so there were no problems with arrival.
i noticed that the window handle was broken in my room.

the building sits on a quiet side street, though very centrally located. it is about a 20-minute walk to vitosha street, if you are able to walk. a metro station is only a short walk of 3-5 minutes away.

The location was very convenient near the train and bus stations. This made exploring the city on foot easy. The bed proved comfortable (i slept very well).
The shower lacked a full enclosure. This resulted in the entire bathroom floor getting wet after showering.

I found the location very convenient. The central bus station was very close. It was an easy walk into the center, around 20 minutes for me.
The shower wasn't enclosed. After a shower, the entire bathroom floor was wet. This made it difficult to use the space afterward.

I didn't eat at the hotel, so I can't comment on the dining options. There are some places near the hotel to buy food from. I checked out the surroundings.
