Excellent stay near vitoshka boulevard

convenient locationspacious roomhot showerhelpful receptionist
I found the location very convenient, just a short walk to the main pedestrian street. The room was clean and quite spacious. The hot shower was consistent. I enjoyed the sunrise view each morning from my window. The receptionist was helpful, he showed me where the water dispenser was and helped with my early departure breakfast.
I noticed a little street noise, and I could hear other guests occasionally.
