❗️WARNING❗️ Do not book this hotel. No warm water during our whole stay. It’s unacceptable when you pay about 80-90 € /night Despite it was clean, and pretty nice looking rooms and ok location , was this the worst hotel we ever stayed at. We couldn’t take a shower for the whole stay. 3 nights. The staff was only there during daytime. We were told we could reach them on telephone in evenings, but they didn’t answer the calls and no cell phone number was to find. When we eventually saw one of the staff, she first said that we should wait some minutes with an open tap, to get warm water . Didn’t work at all. Day 3 the staff blamed the city, about the cold water and told us it was fixed. It wasn’t. When we talked to other guests they told us that they have had warm water once, in 3 day , so more likely than that it was the Sofia city’s fault, it was probably the hotels warm water system that was too weak for more than 1-2 guests showers.
