Clean and Inexpensive
It's a couple of miles out of town, in a dead residential area, so it's ok if the public transport is still running but, if not, you're at the mercy of taxi drivers who make up the fares as they go along! Hotel itself is smart looking but a bit weary... the shower flooded the bathroom floor and there was no place to have a pleasant drink unless you're a smoker. On the plus side, it was very clean, the beds were comfortable, and it was not expensive.

Standard rooms a little small
Just a one night stopover with family. The immediate hotel vicinity resembles something of a tower block council estate, but there is a very convenient Billa supermarket a stones throw away. The standard rooms were a little disappointing in size and we had to change my mothers due to a smoky smell despite smoking being forbidden. The breakfast was a decent size with plenty of choices. Just a 5 minute walk to the nearest tram stop. Parking for 15 euros a night seemed rather pricy considering the location! Probably the 8th different place I've stayed in Sofia. This one does not remain on my future list though, had parking been free then I would keep it on my list.

We stayed as a rather old beer drinking group and it had all we needed, clean bed, shower, safe wardrobe, drawers. Very close to tram stop to the centre with trams every five minutes. Ten minute walk from bus stop for bus right into Vitosha mountains for a day trip to different bars. Behind the hotel is a lively restaurant and bar used by local families. Lots of Bulgarian/Greek style dancing round the tables (think Zorba the Greek if you are old enough to remember that) there on the Saturday.

city break sofia
Hotel was comfortable and staff all pleasant but forum hotel is let down by location. I knew the hotel was set out of the city centre (and grabbing a taxi wasn't a problem) but there is little to do around the hotel. I found one restaurant within walking distance which was set on a very busy road. The hotel had its own restaurant but this was taken over on the first night to accommodate a wedding. Spa facilities were running at 50% too. Advice to travellers planning a trip to sofia - take plenty of small notes. No one has any change.

Excellent hotel and within easy reach of city centre. Staff were very friendly and always called us a taxi which only cost about 6lev to centre. We had two children ages 11 and 8 and they loved the stay. Plenty of choice on continental breakfast.

Unrealiable wi-fi , not the best bed
WIFI: when asked, staff really tries to re-start routers and so on. But reality is: the internet structure for this hotel is not fit for purpose. BEd; i asked a double bed weeks in advance. I got two twin beds put together and one of the had a wonky foot. It did not really affect me because it would be impossible to use the combined bed as one as the gap between the two is massive. Clean: impecably clean place area: good value for money. You can take a cab for 5 lev to any relevant tourist and nightlife points.

Forget WiFi or a doublebed
I booked weeks in advance and requested a double bed rather than two twins put together. Noone promise this would be granted, but why not? I am sure they don't have proper doublebeds. WiFi is a commitment they advertise. You are sure to be disappointed with it, no matter how small your Internet task is. On the positive side, it is very clean and only 5 levs by taxi of any where you need to be in the center.

staff at check in very nice But i booked a queen size bed and ended up with two singles me and my fiancee had to push them together was very uncomfortable, i think the cleaner must of missed cleaning the balcony because was lots of rubbish left on the balcony empty alcohol bottles and a bag of rotting food . the staff were nice but i cannot leave a better review because of these disappointments . would of booked two single beds if i wanted two single beds spent the night falling in the hole where the beds kept separating

Clean and welcoming hotel, enjoyable stay.
Warm and comfortable hotel with friendly English speaking staff. Within walkable distance of the city centre, but there is a nearby tram line. Would have preferred more clarity on the restaurant situation, such as menus in the room, and I was also quoted two different prices for breakfast. However, these were minor things and the stay overall exceeded my expectations.

Hotel in Bulgaria
Very nice lovation, close to public transportation. Few problems with the room - couple of lights were out, 2 out of 3 phones were not working, one of the remote controls was taped with a band aid in the back to hold the batteries in place - the batteries were 6 years old. The remote was not functioning. The door to the balcony was broken - one of the hinges was broken. found couple dead bugs (looked like roaches) on the floor. The bathroom door was hitting the sink when you try to open it completely. No hot water before 3:30AM and after 10AM. One of the receptionists (blond tall lady) was not helpful at all. We had problems with WiFi in the room during the entire stay.
