It seems it is outdated, definitely needs some work around the rooms, our room was clean, but walls had scuffs and it felt the room was wear out For the money we paid they can do some renovations or fresh them up. Maybe this is something that will be coming in the future? Convenient to the airport so that is big plus, and staff was very friendly and kind! Definitely if flying out of Sofia will be returning to them, shuttle was included for a transfer to airport.

What I liked: Liked the proximity to the airport and the shuttle service. Great breakfast and overall service. What I thought was somewhat lacking: Parking was sometimes a challenge as the parking lot could become almost full at times. Rooms were non-smoking although smoke smell could be detected for sensitive guests who are non-smokers.

Great location, right by the airport, with complementary shuttle 4-5 minute to T & 2. Easy check-in/out. The front desk has pre made sandwiches upon check out, which was appreciated. Overall clean, except parts of the shower. The “AC” was sen on fan not AC so it just blowing air. Unfortunately, that day/evening was 37C, which made the sleeping quite uncomfortable.

Such a cute boutique hotel, loved the rock and roll theme and how well cared for the hotel is. The staff were very helpful and friendly and seemed to enjoy working there. Breakfast buffet was excellent with more options than most. We had two dinners there and loved the shopska salad and potato wedges. They had a full bar and snacks available in the lobby as well as a fridge with soda or bottles of wine if you wanted one for your room. We’d planned to go out for dinner and to the nearest grocery store but the hotel had everything we needed! After a day of travel we were exhausted and very appreciative that we didn’t need to leave. The dining rooms and lobby were all super comfortable and clean. We worked from the lobby all day and loved the comfortable chairs and couches. The room we were in was small but exactly what we needed. This is the closest hotel to the airport (ten minutes) and offered a 24 hour shuttle, running every 20 minutes. The shuttle arrives promptly at 4 am to pick us up and the hotel even packed a breakfast for us—very thoughtful! One thing I absolutely loved was the water dispenser located on our floor that instantly delivered hot and cold filtered water and even sparkling as well. We didnt expect all of this from a small boutique airport hotel—this place was a little gem!
