    Not the best value for money but it was a weekend and I'm a budget traveller so I'm probably more price sensitive than most. The bit about the shower not having a tray is true, but I’ve travelled extensively in this part of the world and seen it quite a lot in older buildings.

    I liked this place. It wasn't up to western hotel standards but I felt welcome and at home. I would stay again

    the worst chair I've ever sit on! A bad thing is that the room is pretty cold so make sure you've brought some extra clothes and also, if there is someone on the hallway you'll be the first to hear it as there is not that much of soundproofing What bothered me the most was (and you can see it on the pictures below) the insects that were ALREADY on the wall before my check in. Not only spiders but this other insect which name I'm missing was originally everywhere in my room, alongside with spider webs, making it hard for me to feel comfy at first. After whipping them out, I still found 2-3 spiders even 3 days after my check in. I don't blame them for the spiders as it's their "Season" but, I blame them for not taking the time (not more than 5 minutes) to clean the walls before allowing me in. It just felt wrong and unfair knowing that I'll live in that room for 1 week. They could have done better preparations.

    Exactly what you expect to see on a 1star hotel, nothing more nothing less. Arriving to the hotel, the reception man (probably the owner too?) was very friendly and he showed me my room. At first glance it was a simple room with not much to talk about. A TV that I never used, a small bathroom which did its job, a pretty big bed for 1 guy, small sofa and There are 2 windows meaning that you don't hear much from the noise outside if that's what you're afraid of. Also, they don't enter your room at any time.. Clean sheets (at least from the one side, the side facing the bed had some hair from the people before me but nothing crazy). There are new towels and a soap, you can ask for more and they'll gladly give you. Again, the reception is very very kind and friendly, once of the friendliest guys I've seen in Bulgaria. Last but not least, to leave or to enter the hotel you need to knock on his door so he can lock after you, making it super cringe sometimes. Make sure to avoid eye contact:P. I started feeling guilty for bothering him if I left the hotel more than once, that's on me though as he was still friendly. I give it a 7.5/10. I'd put 6/10 for not paying attention to the spiders/webs/insects that were on my room before my check in but the reception guy made me forget about that with his friendly stance. However, if I had a 10-20% refund (because 26 euro/night was not 100% worth it, it should be more like 20/night) I'd edit the review to 9/10. I highly doubt it though and that's okay👍

    No bar although one advertised, no in room facilities apart from a television with basic channels. No drinking water on site at all

    The owner was decent enough, and the bed was comfy.

    When you leave you need to leave the key behind and they lock the door, so when you Come back you need to ring the door so they open for you. This makes me feel not completely free, when I went out late, I felt worried the whole time

    Its a good hotel that gives you everything you need for a basic stay.

    Everything! The air conditioner wasn’t working and the staff didn’t do anything to provide us heating. When we arrived at 10pm there wasn’t a hot water and we had to wait around an hour for it. The room wasn’t very clean and there are a broken things in the bathroom. You could hear everything in the corridor- talks, slamming doors etc. The glasses in the room was plastics. We do not think the price is relevant to the conditions!

    Only that there was National Geographic on TV.
