Hotel Location
Guest Reviews & Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The room was excellent, spacious, with good views, and a good size bathroom. The service was not nice or helpful initially, as the staff was unavailable and chatting on the phone when we arrived. However, the location was superb, close to transportation and supermarkets, making it easy to explore the city. The dining experience was good although the choices were limited. Overall, a mixed but memorable experience!
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although equipped with everything we needed, lacked smart design and comfort, such as poorly placed lamps. The small balcony offered a nice touch. The service was a major letdown with severe attitude problems towards foreigners and vulnerable individuals; it felt like they were discriminating against non-Bulgarian guests. The location, while safe during the day, felt dangerous at night, requiring a taxi for returning in the evenings. The dining options were limited but acceptable, with some meals being quite average.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The room was clean and bright, but it did feel a bit dated and in need of a new carpet. The bathroom was spacious and nice, and the location was fantastic. The service was a bit disappointing as there was an attempt to charge extra for certain amenities, but the staff was courteous and professional. The dining experience left much to be desired with limited options. The hotel is in a great city center location, making it convenient for exploring. However, the breakfast was disappointing, and some additional charges were unexpected.
The hotel provides a sense of being close to the city action with clean and comfortable rooms. The staff is friendly and recognizable, making the stay enjoyable. However, the dining experience offers limited options. The location is excellent, just a few steps away from the Lavov Most metro station, making it convenient for exploring the city. The price offers good value for money.
The hotel is in a prime location opposite the metro station, making it a convenient place to stay with efficient staff. The rooms are modern, clean, spacious, and comfortable, although the small A/C unit may not be ideal. The service is generally friendly, with a minor exception from one receptionist. The dining options are varied, and the location is great for exploring with lots of places of interest within walking distance.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with small balconies overlooking Lion's Bridge. The rooms were clean, spacious, and had large windows with views of the roundabout. The check-in and check-out process was smooth. However, the dining experience was less satisfactory.
