Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • The street approach can seem rough — Some guests note the immediate area looks a bit uninviting, though they also add it feels safe once inside.
  • Limited room types and small scale — With just 14 rooms, availability may be tight, and there are no extra beds for families – though the hotel has offered a second room at no extra cost.
  • Breakfast costs extra — While praised when available, breakfast is not always included in the room rate.
  • Mixed first impressions — Conflicting directions online caused confusion for some guests, and the taxi driver initially couldn't find the hotel.

“The staff were wonderful, the rooms were fresh and very clean, the food was delicious, and there was a good choice of beers. The location was also nice and comfortable for dining.”

7.1Verified guest

“We had conflicting directions from websites that led us to two different spots, and even the taxi driver had to ask locals, though the fare was a fair 5 lev. The hotel sits at the end of a rough-looking street, but inside it's like another world – very clean and well presented. The rooms were nice, and the buffet breakfast with meat, eggs, sausages, bread, and cereal was very good.”

7.1Verified guest

“This budget hotel is not far from the center by tram, a quick and cheap taxi ride from the airport, and in a quiet neighborhood. The rooms are clean, there's a small fridge, and the bathroom works well. The service is polite and accommodating, and breakfast is available for an extra charge.”
