Hotel of Bulgarian Academy of Sciences

Payment is cash only at check-in and in the restaurants, so bring local currency. The room itself was dated, though clean and comfortable. Wi-Fi was unreliable: it worked best in the toilet and struggled in the room.

A good price if you're travelling to Sofia, and there are plenty of parking spaces nearby, though you need to let the hotel know in advance. The reception is very nice and spacious, and the rooms were clean. The furniture is very old, and heating comes from the air conditioner.

The staff were really nice and helpful, and breakfast was fairly cheap, though the service had a Soviet-style feel to it :) The place is affordable. Rooms are on the small and oldish side, but they're decent and have a little fridge and a bathroom.

We arrived late from a flight and needed somewhere to stay; the hotel was conveniently located for the airport. The lobby staff were friendly and parking was easy. Our room was fine apart from a strong damp, mildew-like smell, as if the bedding and pillows hadn't dried properly. It was hard to sleep with it, though maybe we were just unlucky. The shower curtain didn't reach the floor, so the bathroom got completely soaked. We nearly slipped walking into the room, which felt dangerous.
