Guest Reviews
- Liliya (8/5): - Човекът от персонала, който ни посрещна при пристигането и ни изпрати при тръгването, беше изключително мил, любезен и отзивчив. Благодарим! 😊 Локацията на хотела е супер - в самия център на града, на пешеходно разстояние до всичко. Метрото за летището е на по-малко от 10 мин ходене пеша. Доволни сме, като се има предвид, че резервирахме буквално в последния момент. Съотношение цена/качество е добро. За тази сума и тази категория не може да се очаква 5* лукс. На който не му харесва, да резервира 5*. Ние нямаме оплаквания.

- Francis (2/5): Bonne emplacement mais Bâtiment à rénover, manque d’entretien - L’emplacement Impropre Matelas taché Pas de chauffage Sol impropre Odeur désagréable Prises défaillantes Manque d’éclairage dans la salle bain
- salan (3/5): - konum iyiydi. Genel olarak bakımsız ve gürültülü. Klima kumandası yoktu. Çöp kovası yetersiz. Banyosu rutubet kokuluydu. Perdeler yırtıktı.

- Viktoria (1/5): - Nothing. If there would be sub zero score, I would post it. First of all, pictures are misleading. My mistake was that I didn't read the reviews. Like the others visitors said, the building is full with cockroaches, and it's being ran self-service. You have a remote controller to open the main door. If you face any problems, good luck. There is no parking of course, that was the lure. Trams are running all the time outside which makes it very noisy. Apart from that it's very dirty, there is a very bad smell of still air inside the building and the whole situation is very weird. The real price for that thing would be 10€ per night maximum. A real rip off.
- Илья 421 (3/5): - Warm room and clean bed. Well, I think the worst hotel I have ever been, I could understand that since the hotel is only 1 star it will not be luxury, but the basic sanitary rules should be followed, shower is dirty, cockroaches and no hot water. First time I encountered so called "late check in fee" I needed to pay 2.5 euro to get keys from the shop across the street...
- Vyara (10/5): - Централно място удобен транспорт Хубава чиста стая , любезен персонал
- Smr (3/5): - Nu ai cu cine sa comunici ,nu există nimeni la recepție, ți se da cheia și după baftă te descurci, nu am avut cui sa cer o hârtie pt toaletă, am găsit vreo doi gândaci, mizerie, mocheta inmbacsita
- Mixalis-Fotini (6/5): -
- Gagarinska (6/5): The hotel needs cosmetic repairs - Very good location. Friendly staff on reception desk. Very warm room. Torn sheets are not acceptable in the hotel. Bad smell in the hallway.
- Aleksandar (7/5): - Добро разположение, добър персонал имаше и телевизия
- ANTONIS (2/5): - No reception, I had to take the key from opposite kiosk. Small animals walking in the room, Very uncomfortable pilows. Only location was very good, 40 Euros just to sleep, is too much
- EMIL (8/5): - Friendly stuff
- Martina (4/5): -
- Dawid (1/5): Attention cockroaches - Only location This place should be closed for hygiene reasons, there is dirty everywhere, it's a total ruin and there are cockroaches in room and bathroom.
- Mihnea. A (7/5): -
- siyka (4/5): Разочароващ - Има топла вода,местоположението е отлично. Няма асансьор,пътувайте без багаж,няма хладилник.

- Fatima (1/5): eine Gefahr für Gesundheit und Hygiene - Dieses Hotel ist in seinem aktuellen Zustand absolut nicht bewohnbar. Unser Aufenthalt im Hotel AlAbin war ein absoluter Schock und in keiner Weise akzeptabel. Das Zimmer war massiv von Kakerlaken befallen an den Wänden, auf dem Boden, im Bett und im gesamten Badezimmer. Eine derart extreme Hygieneverletzung ist völlig unentschuldbar. Hinzu kam ein penetranter, fauliger Geruch, der das Zimmer unerträglich machte. Die Bedingungen waren so katastrophal, dass wir keine 10 Minuten bleiben konnten und das Hotel sofort verlassen mussten. Unsere geplanten zwei Übernachtungen waren unter diesen Umständen unmöglich. Dieses Hotel stellt eine ernsthafte hygienische Zumutung dar. Wir raten dringend davon ab, hier zu buchen, bis grundlegende und umfassende Reinigungs und Schädlingsbekämpfungsmaßnahmen durchgeführt wurden.
- Делян (1/5): - Нищо Всичко
- Иван (3/5): - Локация и цена Запушен канал в банята, мръсни стари мокети и общи части, стълбище по-точно
- Murat (3/5): Mecbur kalmadıkça tekrar gidilmez. - Konumunu Malzemeler çok eskiydi. Elektrik olmasına rağmen prizlerin hiçbiri çalışmıyordu. Telefonlarımızı şarj edemedik. Buzdolabı tv klima hiçbiri çalışmıyordu. Perdeler eksikti banyoda giyinmek zorunda kaldık

- Intermond Ltd (1/5): Hotel pessimo!!! - Niente. Sporco. Al mio arrivo mi hanno dato una camera usata da altre persone. Ho preso un'altro hotel a Sofia. Ho chiesto il rimborso ma il proprietario non ne ha voluto sapere. Hotel da evitare.
- Stefani (2/5): -
- Seden (3/5): Mecbur oldugumuz için kaldık - Konum Temiz değildi , odada böcek çıktı herşey çok eski ve klima berbattı , tuvalet berbattı leş kokuyordu. Mecbur değilseniz kesinlikle kalmayın
- Majid Sahibi (2/5): - The customer service was very very bad . The bed and shits were not clean. The room was cold and warming system was not working ☹️.
- Maria Lucia Stefania (1/5): - Non mi è piaciuto nulla! Eravamo già pronti ad una esperienza modesta, viste le recensioni e il prezzo. Ma è adatto oltre. Un luogo che potrebbe avere il suo fascino vintage e invece è lurido, abitato da svariati insetti non identificati, il wc perdeva acqua e il bagno era allagato. Non abbiamo avuto il coraggio di fare la doccia. Sotto il letto abbiamo trovato diverse cicche di sigaretta e un puzzo di fumo nauseabondo. Abbiamo chiesto un'altra stanza che venisse qualcuno a ripulire. È venuto il portiere e ha portato via le cicche e ci ha salutato. Mi dispiace ma un posto così andrebbe chiuso o almeno non andrebbe su booking Eravamo già pronti ad una esperienza modesta, viste le recensioni e il prezzo. Ma è adatto oltre.

- Edward (1/5): - Nothing about it was nice. Terrible experience. It was cheap, but should have been cheaper Staff smelt terrible, never smiled, room had cobwebs. Hotelools like it hasn't been cleaned since 1966. Shower was broken, floor was uneven. No staff at checkmon for 20 mins waiting outside. Ive stayed in hundreds of hotels over the years. This and a place in a shanty town in India are two worst places I e ever stayed. Will never go back and I advise everyone to stay elsewhere no matter what. Shit hole.
- Öznur (4/5): - The hotel is centrally located. Everything you need is nearby. The receptionist helped us with our luggage. Our sheets were clean, but the hotel is old and neglected. I don't know if the heater wasn't working or not, but we turned on the air conditioner. The hair dryer in the room wasn't working. And water was leaking from somewhere; the bathroom floor was covered in water
- Stanisheva (1/5): Дианджели - Абсолютно нищо не ми хареса. Това беше хотел от филм на ужасите. Страшно малка стая, ръждясала мивка, нестабилни контакти. Гледка към страшно бунище. Напуснах още същата нощ.
- Милен (8/5): -
- Musa (2/5): - My room didnt lock from the inside and when complaining about it to the hotel staff which i didnt see until at all until the day i left they told me theres nothing they can do about it
- SIAVUSH (2/5): - False advertisement too small bathroom its not the one in the picture theres little space for legs when sitting on toilet because shower cabinet too close ur health is doomed staying there its like made to ridicule people.

- Ivan (10/5): - Great location, easy access to city’s attractions and ability to visit most of the sights within walking distance.
- serena (10/5): Tutto sommato si - Era centrale Stanza piccola
- Konstantinos (1/5): - Много е мръсно, никога не ходете в този хотел. it is very dirty never go to this hotel
- Shane (2/5): - They advertise that they have wifi and laundry. The wifi only works if you sit on an uncomfortable couch by the front desk. There is no laundry service at all. False advertising, slow to respond, and there were cockroaches in the bathroom. Would not stay again.
- barakat (1/5): -
- Nancy (2/5): The worst hotel ever - It was a terrible experience No one on the reception EVER. I asked for new towels and Toilet paper over whatsapp they said we will provide in the morning. no one appeared in the morning. no one cleaned the room ever . It was a horrible experience. Imagine you don't even have toilet paper!
- Vladimir (10/5): Exceptional -
- Julian (2/5): - Unsafe
- Gianluca (2/5): - Sporca no cambio lenzuola no reception no colazione no ascensore DELUSIONE TOTALE
- Chirag (1/5): Bad - One of the worst property in the world Never stay on it .. if it is free also
- Adrine (6/5): Pleasant -
- Kalina (2/5): - Very dirty
- Hristo (5/5): Excellent location, no hot water! - The location is excellent! I had a couple of drinks with friends nearby and going back at the hotel was quite easy. There was no hot water to take a shower in the morning!
- Tomi (5/5): Passable -
- Chiong (2/5): Lousy and will not recommend anyone to stay unless someone can put up wth stench along the corridor - Near to all tourist attractions No elevator available and i had to carry my big luggage to 3 flights of stairs. Corridors were dim and smelly. My room was extremely small for 2 persons. The room was not cleaned before i moved in and worst of all found dead insects on the floor !!!
- Verified traveler (4/5): Disaster - Location is the only good thing-nothing else.
- Balasubramanian (4/5): Disappointing - NO STAFF
- sujjan (2/5): - The door would not lock at the property and wouldn’t even close. It was a nightmare checking in with phone calls having to be made just to get a key to get in. The button we were have to get into the building wouldn’t work
- Gareth (1/5): Avoid!! Awful. - There was nothing to like other than the location Everything. Key had to be picked up from a takeaway next door. The corridors were dark, dirty,. Electric socket in the room was literally hanging out of the wall. It felt incredibly unwelcome and in fact, quite a scary place to be. It was so bad I checked out after one night - with no refund available on the rest of my nights and paid to stay somewhere else.
- Justyna (7/5): Good -
- Ihor (4/5): Disappointing -
- Svetla (7/5): Good - Location, staff, quite good value
- Demi (1/5): This hotel needs shutting down under regulatory grounds to make it safe. - Nothing at all. Hotel smelt of cigarettes. Room was filthy and it had mould in 3 separate places.
- Maria (1/5): Bad -
- Francis (5/5): Passable -
- Martyna (1/5): We only enjoyed the location of the hotel - The best is only the location in Sofia as close to everything in the city Good WiFi No hygiene level Smell in the hotel in corridor No cleaning services No restaurant on the hotel No receptionist on site Old fashioned dated furniture and no refurbishment for long time Beddings not changed daily
- Karl (7/5): Good - location excellent 10 mins walk from everything. trams right outside the door. the accommodation could do with a link of paint, but was clean and comfortable. No kettle!!!!
- Omer (4/5): Disappointing -
- Jannine (8/5): - Decor in need of major refurbishment, tired colours. Beds very comfy and linen was clean. No lifts.
- Vella (2/5): Disaster! - Location maybe Well, the experience was not so nice: internet/WIFI very poor I had to use my roaming, smell in the room was really bad and wall were with spit, light with bed was not working at all and moreover switch was broken, electrical plugs were not even keeping charger properly , at least mattress was not that bad. Hotel does not have lift, nor provide breakfast and staff only available at certain time. Who gave it 3 star rating not sure, if it satisfy a 1 star European standard already a plus as i would not give more than that. Hotel is basically under very bad state with lots of health and safety issues even the refurbished rooms as I took so called newly refurbished room specifically due to the fact that other rooms even were more worst on picture than the one I took. Hotel NOT suitable for people with disabilities!
- Peter (8/5): Very good - Great location!
- Tom (2/5): - DON'T COME HERE EVER. Avoid this place. They have no hot water. They didn't warning us prior arrival. We came to reception and they say no hot water. Smells dump. All dirty, carpet discussing. All these things and they didn't refund us. We bought via expedia they didn't help us either.
- Mihail (8/5): Very good -
- Reinhard (5/5): Passable -
- Adam (1/5): Bed bug central - Nothing, room was dirty, Dangerous electrical wiring. Run by dangerous aggressive poeoplo Room smelt,Beds were dirty, Bathroom had poor plumbing Beds were unclean Beds had bed bugs Electric wires were exposed. Felt unsafe as the staff were aggressive and threatening. Worst room ever stayed in.
- Vasos (7/5): Good - 😲 Location
- Saso (1/5): Hotel was closed.At front door was phone number-nobody answer. We can not used our already paid room - We can not use our already paid room-we have to search for another hotel in 21.00
- gergana (6/5): - Il posto è centrale e secondo me è l'unico preggio della struttura. Le parti comuni sono brutti e puzzolenti. La camera è grande . Il bagno con lavandino che perde e muffa negli angoli.Forte odore di sigarette.Se serve un appoggio di una notte a basso costosenza pretese di niente allora può andare.
- Vasil (4/5): Disappointing -
- Verified traveler (2/5): Asqueroso se queda corto - Horrible. La recepción no es 24 h y no nos avisaron. El ascensor roto. Entramos a la habitación y resulta que nos tuvimos que poner a hacer las camas nosotros mismos. Nos encontramos los colchones mugrientos descubiertos con una simple sábana encima. Además, lo único que había encima de la cama era otra sábana para cubir los edredones que estaban dentro del armario y tuvimos que ponernos nosotros a meterlos dentro de los cubre edredones. Los edredones asquerosos, con pelotillas y suciedad. Las sábanas con manchas. Las paredes con manchas y desgastadas. Por si fuese poco, el suelo de la habitación estaba lleno de polvo, hecho bolas y había bastante. Ahora vamos con el baño: la alcachofa de la ducha rota, se salía el agua por todos lados, no había toalla para el suelo, únicamente nos dieron una toalla mediana por persona. No había champú (pese haber preguntado con anterioridad y ellos nos confirmarnos que sí que habría). En fin, daba todo asco. Lo único bueno la zona, pero para dormir en una casa del terror mejor buscar otras opciones. No repetiría.
- Велислав (1/5): Bad - Nothing
- B Angelica (2/5): Nefasto - Muy feo el hotel, huelo a mucha humedad, la alfombra muy sucia, no funcionaba el elevador, no tenia restaurante, costales de basura en la recepción. Lo tienen como 3* y el lugar dice 1*, la calefacción muy caliente y no la pudieron bajar, el baño no tenia cortina, no dejaron shampoo y no hicieron el cuarto al dia siguiente, no hablan inglés, no pudimos encargar el equipaje. Te dan un contro para que tú abras y cierres ya que no hay nadie en la recepción a ninguna hora. Me arrepiento de haberlo reservado, tuve que cambiarme de hotel
- Verified traveler (2/5): Terrible experience - I had to prepare my bed myself. The rooms are very old, the bathroom was smelly and dirty and water was leaking everywhere. No hot water and one could hear everything from neighbors. the only good side is the location, near to everything in the city center
- Francesca Nina (6/5): - Strange place. No reception. Dirty hallways carpet. Full of stains. No stuff. But rooms are clean.
