Reviews of Guesthouse Tzar Asen 3 stars

Good location, nice and helpful landlords

The bathroom was tiny

The location is great.

There is no obvious way to leave the key to check out: the key is necessary to open the outer door but there seems to be nowhere to drop it. No instructions are provided. I left the key in the door and someone helped me out.

The room is really simple, but the host is a really kind man, he lives next door and always available. The position of the guesthouse is optimal, easy to reach from airport with public transport.

Our room probably was and ex smoking room so there was a strong smell of smoke

Perfect location in the center, near NDK. Fast check-in. Very quiet in the night. Spacious room.

It was not very clean in the room. The linens and towels provided were very old, used too many times.. Even though it was fixed after a request, there was a problem with the water draining in the bathroom.

New air conditioner. Central location.

I am not a very demanding traveller, I just look for clean and practical accommodation, but I would not recommend this place. It is cheap but not worth the price. Zero hygiene! There were cockroaches coming out of the bathroom pipes and very bad smell. Dust and spider nets everywhere. Some electrical outlets and night lamp didn´t work. Visibly old and torn apart linen and towels with stains on them. Pillows were "fixed" with sticky tape. Be careful because the door does not close properly and people can peek into the room from the entrance hall even when the door is closed and locked. One of the windows also did not close properly. Overall bad stay because of the lack of cleanliness. Choose another place, trust me!

smell from the toilet

This was my second time at this place. Location is great. Host is very nice and polite. Room was nice, comfortable. I'm very satisfied

Nothing to say.

The location, thats it. This MAY work for you if you don’t plan on taking showers there.

I don’t want to be rude, but there are some things that are unacceptable regardless of your budget. When I arrived at the property, BOTH of the beds in my room had a nasty bed sheet with someone else’s hair there. The bed was awful, the room was smelly, everything had dust and the host (who barely speaks english) started complaining because I wanted to pay for my stay with credit card. Every time he asked me for payment I said that I was only willing to pay via card and he started to stress and higher the tone saying that I’d need to pay with cash and that I needed to get it from an ATM machine somewhere close to the property. The heater had so much dust that I couldn’t turn it on, also, my window wouldn’t close completely, so I had a freezing night. On the second day I set the boundaries of my dignity and ran away from that place. When I left, the host wasn’t there — He also wasn’t there to receive a couple that had arrived — when I was walking away he simply came out of nowhere asking me when I would get the cash to pay him, I said that I wanted to pay with card and he complained again. Then a series of harassment via Booking message started, he started to text as if I was not going to pay for my stay and that he advised me to go back and pay otherwise he would “file a complaint” and I would have serious trouble. I said that if he had a bunch of stickers on the reception saying that he accepted card, he needed to accept card… To short the story, I managed to pay and everything went well but it was a nightmare and I don’t wish that to anyone, specially if you are a woman traveling alone.

We absolutely love this place! The location was amazing and the place itself was super clean. The elderly man who runs the place was incredibly friendly and gave us the warmest welcome. If you ever find yourself in Sofija, you have to check out this place for sure!

Nothing, everything was great!

Location

Nice very good location old house but clean good value for money good air conditioning in the rooms

Location is great

I liked the hospitality of the guest house owner, decent service for the very reasonable price, and a perfect location. Also appreciated the help with the parking for our car.

That was my second visit, so for me everything was Ok.
