Dated and worn
26 Jul 2026
I wasn't expecting anything fancy at this price point, and the reviews had set my expectations accordingly. However, the bathroom in my room made a constant noise that repeatedly disrupted my sleep. I reported it to the night receptionist when it first happened, but he brushed me off and went back to listening to his headphones. The next day, my Bulgarian friend explained the issue in Bulgarian to the receptionist, who said she'd send someone to take a look. When I returned that evening, the problem was still there, and we reported it again to another member of staff the following day.It was never fixed, and I ended up finding a temporary workaround myself. The issue was still present when I checked out. On a positive note, the beds weren't uncomfortable and I found the housekeepers to be quite thorough and regular. The location is excellent, and the hotel has an undeniable charm. However, it could really do with some updating. The beds and mattresses were visibly worn, the shower drain was grubby, and the ceiling in my room looked as though it had been affected by damp or water damage. I appreciate the building dates from the 1930s, but with a little more maintenance and care, this could be a great hotel.

Lovely Sofia
21 May 2025
This hotel has a super location and the price is very reasonable.If I was with my missus I might have chosen another hotel, but on this solo trip around Eastern Europe I opted for this hotel and I was happy.Not a stylish hotel, but completely clean and my room was far bigger than I'd expect on my own so I was very pleased.The shower sprays all over the floor so that was a little annoying, but it was a good shower.The television had lots of sports channels which was handy as I was watching a bit of the snooker.There is a shop around the corner to pick up a few bits also.I did find the hotel staff to be rather unfriendly, but I found Sofia to be like this so maybe that's just the way they are.This hotel is a perfect location and you're just a short walk to the amazing Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and to the city centre also.I found Sofia to be a lovely city to wander around and really it is very underrated.Thanks,Irish Travel Man.

Old, but...

Probably the oldest hotel in Bulgaria, which can be seen from the furniture, equipment, cleanliness... But the soul of the hotel is also made up of friendly and smiling employees.

Pleasant surprise
04 Feb 2024
Was getting slightly worried having read some reviews here however, the hotel was lovely and clean. The staff friendly, helpful and multilingual. Breakfast was a joy having eaten banitsa for a week. Good choice of food.The decor is dated but for the convenience of location (couple 100 meters to Alexander cathedral )I can overlook that.

Not all that it seems
21 Aug 2023
Two ok words great location- unfortunately that all I would say about this place.. abysmal- hasn’t changed since communist days.. lift didn’t work no offer to take cases up the 6 flights of stairs… there was a lovely pile of , I presume human hair, stuck in the shower drain no plug in the sink.AC not working. Reported hair and AC to reception made no difference. The breakfast woefully inadequate. Looked dreadful the hard boiled egg looked the safest thing to eat. Coffee looked and tasted like Tar!A cheap overnight stay that’s about it!
