"Great service and location"

Generaator Sofia Hotel

Generaator Sofia Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff brilliant, loads of shops and restaurants nearby and great air conditioning in the room. Location is good and it’s a pleasant amble from the bus and train station. The drainage in the shower room I was staying in couldn’t handle the amount of water so it flooded into the bedroom. Judging from the floor repairs this is a regular occurrence which is a shame as apart from that it’s a great place to stay."
