Great rooms, very friendly and funny staff, I give the neighborhood five stars for sheer entertainment. One day, two men ran out of a store in their underwear cursing at each other. Definitely recommend 👍

Perfect for a few nights in Sofia! It is walking distance to the bus station and the metro station that takes you to the airport. It is clean and spacious. Only thing is you hear the trams going and coming. Not too bad but if you’re a light sleeper just fyi.
