It was sooo clean and quiet. The location is perfect! Did I say how clean it was? Wifi was great. Checkin was very easy even though there was no one at the reception. They had some fruit and small treats available.

Pit Bulgaria

Everything was good and really enjoyed my stay just one thing, most of the soups in the toilets were run out during my days which in these circumstances(Corona) wasn’t so nice. Thank you for your great service. I strongly recommend you :)

Pourya Sweden

The woman checking us in was very personable. There is a small communal kitchen with refrigerator and stove/sink, seating. We had two rooms, one with two twin beds, and one with a twin bed, and bunk beds. Rooms were small, but each had at least one chair. Shared bathroom with sink/toilet, and then a shower with toilet. It worked for us five adults.
