I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean, new, quiet, and comfortable, providing all I needed for a short break. However, the service was a bit off, but the response to my airport pickup request was top-notch. The location is ideal for a quick stopover near the airport. The dining was satisfactory, but it came at an additional cost. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.

The hotel room was spacious and clean, though it could use some renovation. The service was supportive and helpful, yet lacking in friendliness during check-in. The location was comfortable and reasonably priced, but the cleanliness left something to be desired. The dining experience was subpar, with limited choices. Overall, the hotel offers a clean, comfortable stay but falls short in hospitality and dining options.

The hotel was nice, clean, and quiet, with comfortable rooms and good air conditioning. However, the shower and drink options were temperamental as usual. The service was really responsive and professional, including a convenient shuttle ride from the airport. The location was great, just a few minutes away from the airport with a free shuttle. Dining was good, especially regional bread, but some aspects were poor. Overall, a comfortable and welcoming stay.

My stay at the airport Ibis hotel was pleasant overall. The room was functional, clean, but starting to show some wear and tear. The temperature was a bit warm, but easily fixed by cracking open the window slightly. The prices at the bar and restaurant were a bit steep. The service was a mix of unattentive behavior during check-in but followed by friendly and helpful assistance. The location is ideal for airport access, especially for early flights. The dining options were decent, with a good selection available in the morning. Overall, a good value for a convenient stay near the airport.

The hotel has clean and spacious rooms that are adequate for a night's stay, but they lack soundproofing and amenities like a kettle. The service is friendly and hospitable, though there were issues with loud communication in the corridor and missing food packages. The location is perfect for travelers using Sofa airport, offering a free shuttle service to Terminal 1 and convenience for early or late flights. The dining options, while good for quick trips, may come at an extra cost. Overall, the hotel is in a 'pre-opening' test period, providing a convenient and close stay for airport layovers.

The hotel offers clean and well-equipped rooms at a price that is compensated by its modern features. It is suitable if you have early morning travel plans but keep in mind the small room size. The service is generally supportive, but there were some hiccups like not picking up from the airport on time. Its location in the Rila Mountains provides an excellent setting close to the airport. The dining options offer good value for money, although early morning choices can be limited. Overall, the facilities are decent and worth the price paid.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious, new, and well-equipped, but unfortunately, the temperature was uncomfortably hot with no apparent way to cool it down. The service, however, was outstanding, with the staff going above and beyond to assist us despite some technical issues. The hotel's location near the airport was convenient for early departures, though the dining options were limited. Overall, it was a decent stay with some room for improvement.

The hotel room was really basic, lacking facilities like coffee, safe, glasses, and toiletries. The bed and bedding were poor quality, and the shower was unclean. However, the room itself was clean. The service was lacking, with staff members not giving proper attention during check-in. On the positive side, they were helpful in finding specific requests like the English football match. The location was convenient for connecting flights due to its proximity to the airport. The dining experience was not impressive and was considered a waste of money due to limited choices. The hotel lacked facilities overall.

The hotel is conveniently located near the airport, making it ideal for overnight stays or catching early flights. The rooms offer basic comfort similar to other IBIS locations worldwide but lack some amenities like a kettle. The service quality varies, with friendly and professional staff but some instances of neglect and poor attitude. The dining options are decent but could use some improvement, especially in terms of cleanliness and pricing discrepancies.
