I survived it and was going to suck it up (but since you ask) I will comment. I arrived very late at night (after having received a confirmation from hotel that it is not a problem). They had no reservation for me in their system. After I showed them my confirmation from expedia in both SMS and email form and after I helped the lady to find it among her emails, she sad it makes no difference as there is no room. She hence sent me to a place down the road, to one which seems to primarily cater to short term commercial love pursuits.Toilet reeked. Bed was fine, place was noisy. I felt safe and it did the trick. My review is hence not about the hotel that I booked (except that they had no room for me) Also, I am not complaining as at the price point paid I did not expect much but a safe room. t was a miss, life goes on, I continue to use Expedia and will surely have better luck next time

The hotel is very close to the city center and not that far from the airport. The staff are all very nice and stayed up to receive our late arrival. The rooms are nice for the price and the staff cleaned the room up once as well during our stay. This is a great, cheap place to stay if you would like to get to see Sofia.

I have never experienced anything like it in my life. there was a smell of stagnent water in the room. the shower and toilet were a cubicle in the room. you couls see the sillhouette of the person through the frosted glass. it was filthy and outdated. i honestly wouldn't put a dog in it.

가성비 하나는 만족했던 호스텔
가격대비 만족도는 높았다. 방음이 안되는건 각오해야할듯. 전반적으로 만족했던 호스텔. 동양인이 나 혼자였던 점에선 여성들은 조금 무리일것 같고 밤 23시에 경찰이 들어와 숙박계와 여권을 대조한 적이 있었다. 자주 있는 일인지는 모르겠지만. 리셉션의 여성분이 친절했다. 특히 야간. 조금만 걸으면 세르디카 역이라 비토샤 거리하고도 가깝다. 바로 옆블럭에 현지 시장이 있었다.

La struttura è centrale, ma nello stesso tempo in una strada tranquilla. Perfettamente insonorizzata. Camera ampia, arredata in maniera essenziale. Bagno minimalista, ma suffuciente per due o tre notti, Personale gentile e disponibile. Ottimo caffè. Un Hostel che merita quasi di togliee la S

Albergo in centro.per pochi notti va anche bene.ho lasciato la camera un giorno prima e avvisando per tempo ma non hanno voluto restituire nulla. hanno imputato ad expedia il problema quando invece dipendeva esclusivamente da loro. Poco trasparenti nella commutazione.per la camera abbiamo dovuto chiedere dopo 3 gg il servizio asciugamani e lenzuola. insomma...
