This place has an unbeatable location! it is super close to the metro station and the central market. EVERYTHING is within walking distance. transport, food, and sightseeing are very convenient. the shared pantry is useful. I used it to make simple meals. it's a great spot for exploring.

charmed stay near THE center

spacious room private bathroom cozy terrace fun check-in

The double room was surprisingly spacious. i appreciated the private bathroom. It added a touch of convenience to my stay. the terrace connecting the buildings provided a cozy spot for relaxation. following the after-hours check-in seemed like a fun game!

the old furniture made the room seem not so new. it was a very minor detail.

Location

the hotel is very central, and major landmarks are within walking distance. i found a cafe for quick snacks just around the corner, and there are many restaurants close by. public transport options are plentiful, offering easy access to various parts of the city.

external bathroom horrifying hygiene

location proved acceptable, placing me near serdika station.

The bathroom situation was unacceptable. It was outside of the room i booked. hygienic conditions was horrifying. just one towel was provided and there was no cleaning, nor towel changing offered . this fell far short of acceptable standards.
