2/10 Poor

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.

disaster accomodation
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 it was filthy and outdated.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...

ホステル個室としてコスパ良し
街の中心から外れますが、わかりやすく、またアクセスが良いです。徒歩3分圏内に市場と教会があり、活気があります。他方、大通りにも市場にも面していないので、比較的静かです。近くにスーパーもあります。 3階の部屋を借りました。エアコンがついているので快適です。なお、受付に置いてある料金表では、エアコン利用や荷物預かりは別料金となっています。私はいずれも追加が発生しませんでしたが、その理由がウェブ価格なのか閑散期であるがためのサービスなのか不明です。 部屋にポットはありませんが、1階の受付でお湯をいただけます。シャワーとトイレと洗面台の仕切がないので、ビーチサンダル持参だと便利です。オーナーはフレンドリーでちょっとした観光の相談もしやすいです。 冷蔵庫は、3階の廊下にありましたが使用しませんでした。朝食、洗濯も別料金で申し込めますが、こちらも利用していません。 唯一の留意点は、エレベータがないことです。1階と2階の間の階段が狭く急なので、スーツケース型の滞在には不向きかもしれません。機内手荷物サイズのキャリーケースをオーナーに運んでいただきましたが、自分で運ぶには少し危なく感じました。

Perfect location but low quality
This ho(s)tel is located near the city centre of Sofia, that's why it is good for people who want to visit the city during the day. I don't recommend the ho(s)tel to people who attach value to a good quality hotel. If you just need a bed and nothing more, this ho(s)tel can be a cheap solution for you. The hotel itself is very outdated and the 'bathrooms' are from a poor quality. However, you could not expect much more for this cheap price. So afterall, I'm not disappointed with my stay in this hotel/hostel/guesthouse.

Hinta-laatusuhde kohdillaan
Parin vuorokauden ajamisen jälkeen, juuri meille sopiva. Tasokas, edullinen. Hinta laatu suhde todella hyvä. Wc ja suihku erillään ja makuuhuone ja olohuone erillään. Ison koiran, kissan ja miehen kanssa tilaa riitti.

Tutto ok, posto carino
Abbiamo soggiornato 3 notti e ci siamo trovati bene. Non è di certo un hotel di lusso, ma ha tutto l'essenziale per un soggiorno piacevole e una buona posizione per visitare la città. Staff gentile e disponibile
