Ok for short stay only
Only access to lobby is behind a gate, so taxi couldn't drop me off at entrance. The only outlets were on the far side of the room and not any in the bathroom. Sign in elevator advertised kitchen open until 10:30 pm, but was told by the bartender at 10pm that nothing was available. Appreciate that breakfast bag was available to take for early departure. Would not stay here again except for the shuttle to the airport

ibis just for one night
Cet hôtel de chaîne est intéressant pour son emplacement pres de l'aéroport, son parking en sous-sol et son transfert en minibus gratuits et le petit déjeuner en sachet compris pour des départs matinaux. Valable pour une nuit seulement. Accueil assez professionnel. Chambre au confort minimum et pas de produits d'accueil. Deux serviettes seulement. Une bouilloire mais pas de tasses, ni de verres ! Curieux pour un hôtel de chaîne d'origine française. Tarif trop élevé pour ce type d'établissement et par rapport à des hôtels bulgare du même type : le double ou presque !

The hotel and restaurant were wonderful. We were unable to use the shuttle service from the airport to the hotel so we had to walk. It's doable but not pleasant with luggage. Taxi wanted cash only!

I always stay at this hotel when I have an early flight the next morning. Perfect and comfortable and very close to the terminal. Free airports pick up and drop off. Quick check-in and check-out. Personnel is responsive and kind. You even have a snack or fruit for breakfast. I highly recommend it.

We came from the countryside and stayed there to catch an early flight in the morning. Room & facilities were very clean, restaurant was convienent and the shuttle service was a blessing. Because we left early the free breakfast was not available but the hotel gives a nice simple bag breakfast which was well appreciated....

Rude & Terrible shuttle service DRIVER.
I arrived in Sofia airport and requested for a pick-up from the airport. We were told it’ll be 15 mins. I waited for a full hour before I finally saw a van with the Ibis sign. The driver was dropping someone off and was about to leave when I approached him - I was very annoyed and disappointed. I voiced my opinion when it had taken him an hour when I was told it would be 15 mins. I don’t mind waiting but be honest with me. It I was told 15 mins, I expected it to be either on time or 10-15 mins late but with an explanation. Not 45 mins late and was then screamed at the entire way to the hotel by the rude, obnoxious drive. He is an absolutely arrogant and represents your hotel extremely poorly. I told him I had called him 2 times on the hotel shuttle mobile number he refuted it. Even after I had shown his the missed calls. He continued to argue with him and shouted at me. It got no where as I said to him I would discuss the service failure with the Hotel Manager. He replied rudely and arrogantly “YOU CAN TALK TO WHOEVER YOU WANT”. What a rude and arrogant man. When I arrived at the hotel, I spoke to the Manager on duty. He apologised profusely and remembered very well when the call was made for pickup. He was also at a loss why he didn’t turn up as promised. My hunch is, the shuttle driver had forgotten to pick me up and never did turn up. When I turned up in his face when he dropped someone off, he was taken aback I was even waiting for him!
