In center. Near bus and rail station. Second time in this hotel. Comfort beds , reception staff , location. location, view from balcony, room size. Location. the room. location. the room. The night receptionist and de porter are very good. The only problem I encounter is the lack of parking and "setting down" space for customers.the only small thing is the reception area unfortunately you do have to go up about 5 steps to the desk, there was always staff there to help though so it wasnt a problem. Other than that it was very good and we would recommend to anyone and will stay there again. Non-smoking rooms were not available. As the weather was very bad, deep snow everywhere in Sofia, we decided to spend more time in the hotel room and read some books purchased on our visit to the UK. The wall lights were woefully inadequate and the bedside lamps rigid, so that they could not be adjusted to allow comfortable reading. Poor breakfast. Only one PC for the internet is not enough. When someone uses it, I have to wait and no idea how long I have to wait. Not exactly a dislike, but I requested a single room and got a twin. I'dhave preferred to have the option for a double bed with singleoccupancy. Also, you website states that the hotel is 1.8km fromGatwick. It seemed a little further.I could not get online even using the hotels accees code. The staff tried to help, but could not configure the wireless for us. Internet should be provided free of charge - this is a very low-costitem for the hotel. My group had Macintosh computers and we werecompletely unable to connect.breakfast. Breakfast. A somewhat unpleasant, though bearable, smell from the sewage in the bathroom. the breakfast was not really good. Empty shampoo and body wash bottles set as filled ones. Too hot in the room. Kept the window open all the time. Kept the bathroom door closed all the time since it seems the heat was coming from the bathroom and there was nothing to control the heat in the bathroom.Poor breakfast. Breakfast menu needs to be imrpoved a bit.Unfortunately I was allocated a room where the heating was not working, however this was rectified at once. No scotch whisky in the mini bar. requested non-smoking room, received smoking room. The breakfast did not correspond to the pictures on the menu. clean the balcony windows. Poor breakfast , no facilities. Breakfast. Not such a good breakfast as other (more expensive) hotels. breakfast service. a litle bit noisy the room. The Waitress of the cafe it's very, very, very unpolite. We are payingfor a service!!!.
