It is indeed a good location. Good value. A small but useful exercise room (but not sauna/spa FYI). Satisfactory breakfast. Solidly 7 out of 10 but not a fantastic place.

A few small things. The request for a double bed couldn't be met (two singles). The lift that appeared to not work (the "down" button doesn't work on my floor so to summon it you press "up", then get in and press "lobby". The breakfast is fine but you have to specifically ask for a bowl if you want muesli (then they bring one bowl, not 4 or 5 for other guests). I asked to bring a cup of coffee up to the room after breakfast; not allowed. Air conditioning malfunctioned for a few hours on first day (it was fixed but I HAD to work in the hot room that particular few hours...)

Excellent location in the heart of the city of Sofia. In a walking distance away from major see-sights like the National Palace of Culture. The staff was polite and very clear in their explanation regarding my stay. The room was clean and cozy with nice, comfy bed and big bathroom.

The rooms could benefit from some renovation works. Even though the design is contemporary, signs of wear and tear are starting to show. The AC was a little bit too noisy at times. Breakfast offered wasn't the greatest looking, even though it still tasted good.

I loved my stay at hotel Downtown! All went well!! Staff is very nice and the rooms are large, clean and confortable! A single standard room even comes with a large bed whicj was a great surprise!! Breakfast was good too although the hot dishes needed just to be a little warmer. Great value for money! I stayed there 5 nights and I would be happy to stay there again! Regards

This is a great hotel in the heart of the city. Perhaps 2 blocks away from the bus stop for #72 so you can get there by metro and bus very easily. The breakfast buffet was superb. I actually stayed here twice during my time in the country. Very friendly travellers from all over Europe (and presumably the world). The staff was exceptional and very friendly. You can't beat the price!

No complaints. This is a great place and I would stay again in a heartbeat. There is a bar downstairs but I didn't have a chance to hang out there, so I can't comment.

The daytime receptionist was extremely helpful, and the lobby area is very comfortable. Car parking is extremely rare, but the hotel has an arrangement for local parking. 10 euro

Booking said 200 meters from the stadium we were attending, but it's more like 500 meters. My partner has walking difficulties, so I was a little disappointed in that. We would have preferred a double bed, not 2 singles. We like to cuddle up

The hotel is close to the city centre and the room was large with all that you would expect. Located near to the metro station so that travel by metro from the Airport is possible

The room decor was a little tired and out-dated. The breakfast choice was a little limited

Its really a 100 meters walk to the center and its very easy to reach the best Sofia locations.

The breakfast restaurant was running only once of the 3 days I stayed and I had to buy it outside of the hotel because they couldn't prepare anything. I basically paid extra for a breakfast I didn't have. Everything is very (and I mean very) old, reminding of a past era, with a general soft mold odor along the corridors and sometimes in the room.

Hygiene was very poor although it was a Suite, unclean toilet with feces there, I had to change room, ceiling leaking in the new one, inadequate service, no reception after 20h, bad smell and leaking ceiling in the conference room where I had a business event. Too expensive for the quality offered.

The location is outstanding, rooms are spacious, beds are comfortable.

I stayed at the hotel for two nights. The room I was given (believe #603) had no heating and apparently this was known to staff, but all they responded to my complaint was 'oh, maybe we didn't have any other rooms last night', which is unacceptable. They did move me to another room the second night, but there was no talk about any possible refund, they didn't even apologize for the inconvenience, the attitude was as if nothing out or ordinary happened. Not only the room was unheated, but it was also dirty: trash had not been collected, wallpaper was torn, there were big black stains on the white curtains. The second room was nice, though the furniture was somewhat outdated.

Absolutely nothing!

The hotel is very old, looks like it hasnโ€™t been renovated from the time was built, really bad smell in the rooms. The attitude of receptionist called Maia is unacceptable, she was rude, not willing to help, speaking bad and very unfriendly. The location is very bad, on the road even though itโ€™s downtown thereโ€™s nothing around, not even supermarket, which you can reach by walking. The suit I had didnโ€™t have toiletries, not even slippers or shower cap, only small bottles of shower gel. The terrible thing that reception doesnโ€™t work from 8pm to 8 am. When my daughter lost her room key card the mentioned above receptionist told me that I have to pay 10 leves or euros (donโ€™t remember) for the card, never seen anything like this. The hotel positions itself as 4 stars, but in reality is max 2 stars. Breakfast is awful, no room service, no food after 8 pm. The only nice, friendly and helpful person was Nikolai( bar tender) which helped me with issues he wasnโ€™t supposed to. Also the price doesnโ€™t match the quality!!!!!

Very close to NDK, nice deal for 4 nights.

Breakfast during weekdays quite sober. I was too modest to ask for my beloved scrambled eggs on Thursday but on Friday the guy in the restaurant asked all guests what they would like (scrambled eggs or omelette with/without bacon). That cheered me up.

Beautiful and cozy interior, close to bus and tram stop and metro station. The street is a bit shabby but very peaceful. Location close to nice parks and pedestrian areas. Good breakfast. What we would have hoped is more information about the city (like a small paper map of the centre) and about public transport (like location of the nearest tourist info) just to get started.

Staff was polite and helpful during check in, check out, or when I asked to bring scrambled eggs for the breakfast (which were finished by the moment I came to breakfast at 9:00). Room was big and quiet (I asked for a quiet room during booking process), and included one king bed (I asked for it during the booking process).
