    I absolutely loved the cozy and homely atmosphere at this hotel. The decoration was charming, with beautiful plants and flowers adding a touch of nature to the surroundings. It made me feel like I was staying in a lovely countryside cottage. Being a senior woman, I appreciated the accessibility of the hotel. The common areas were spacious and had comfortable seating where I could relax and chat with other guests. It was also convenient to navigate around the hotel with my walking stick, as everything was on one level and there were no stairs or steep slopes.

    I would have preferred if the children working there were more attentive to the needs of senior guests. Just a bit more assistance and consideration in terms of helping us with our luggage and offering assistance when needed would have made the vacation even better for us seniors.

    During my recent stay at a budget-friendly hostel, I was pleasantly surprised by the spacious and comfortable rooms. The hotel quality furnishings and large size made my stay truly enjoyable. Additionally, the reception being open all night was a huge convenience, especially since I arrived late at night. The very reasonable breakfast for only 5 € was another highlight of my stay. Despite the hostel's location on the outskirts of the city, it was conveniently close to New Bulgarian University. Lastly, the helpful and friendly staff made my experience even better. I had a great deal for the money spent and I would highly recommend this hostel for budget-conscious solo travelers.

    Convenient Location: Nestled in the heart of a bustling neighborhood, this charming hostel is a gateway to the vibrant city of Sofia. Explore the lively area and discover a world of hidden gems just steps away from your cozy retreat.

    Parking Concerns: Although the overall experience was wonderful, it's worth mentioning that the parking situation could use some improvement.

    Great value for the price! the room was spacious and had its own private shower and bathroom. the desk in the room was really convenient for my online work. the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, making it easy to focus. the hotel was conveniently located near a supermarket and the city center, making it easy to grab any necessities I needed. Plus, the free WiFi and fridge in the room were a nice bonus. it was a perfect choice for solo travelers on a budget.

    The bed could have been more comfortable, but for one night it was manageable. the room itself was a bit old and worn, with some minor issues like disrepair on the walls and a dirty carpet.

    I recently stayed at this wonderful hotel for a week-long business trip. The room exceeded my expectations with its spaciousness and convenient amenities, including a desk for my work needs. The quiet neighborhood and proximity to a large supermarket were major pluses. The hotel staff were also incredibly helpful and honest, returning an item I had accidentally left behind. For solo travelers on a budget, this hotel is a perfect choice with its affordable price and comfortable rooms.

    Can't recommend this hotel highly enough.

    I had a wonderful stay at a budget-friendly hotel. the single room I booked turned out to be quite spacious with its own shower and bathroom. the room also had a practical desk, which was perfect for my online work. the hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood, ensuring a peaceful environment. there is a large supermarket, Fantastico, just a short distance away, making it convenient for any necessities. the staff at the hotel were also very helpful, as they found and returned a cable that I accidentally left behind in the room. this hotel is a great choice for solo travelers on a budget who want a comfortable room with its own facilities and don't necessarily need to be centrally located. Cons: Don't have any issues at all! 👍.
