"Large rooms, a little dated in places but comfortable and clean..The attached cafe makes an excellent breakfast and well worth paying the extra for. Metro right outside the door but also the main attraction are very walkable from the location. Would happily stay here again."

"Such a great find! Excellent price for a lovely apartment. Access to a kitchen with hot drinks, snacks and cooking facilities. Room was modern and clean. Bed was comfortable and the shower was amazing. Staff were helpful. Not much room needed to make improvements as everything was perfect other than I messaged to let them know what time I would arrive on Expedia and no one responded! Other than that excellent stay and would highly recommend!"

This hotel was clean and modern and the staff was very quick to respond to inquiries. It was close to downtown so it was an easy walk to anything we wanted to see. Would recommend and stay here again.

What a fantastic stay at a great place with a lovely host. I couldn't have asked for a better two nights in Sofia. I'm sad that I found stay longer! The host was so kind, informative, and passionate about helping his guests. The space was functional and comfortable.

Very nice place. Comfortable bed. Clean. I had a room with a tiny balcony but if you're smoking it's just perfect. The staff very helpful and breakfast is fresh and tasty.

Nice hotel with very friendly staff.
Apartments are large, clean and pretty well equipped.
Location is ok, with the center about 12 minutes away, by taxi, wich we paid about 3.5 euro for.
Bulgaria Mall and metro stop only 5 minutes away by feet.
Numerous grocery stores and restaurants in the area (recommend Djanam Steak House. Best steak I found in Bulgaria so far. A bit pricey but wonderful food and service)
I can't recommend this hotel enough. Big thumbs up.

The hotel is easily accessible from the main Vitosha Blvd - it's just a 2 min walk. With had issues with our airlines: our luggage was missing so we couldn't charge the cellphone as the charger was in the bag. When we came to our room on the third floor, we had a little surprise - Niky hotel has the iPhone and android phone charger in their rooms. The manager also handled the luggage delivery from the airport on our behalf, so we did not need to deal with it. Employees are smiling, they speak...

Cleanliness, staff, hotel, everything looked perfect. Parking was a bit challenging had to park hundred meters away from the hotel, I left the keys on the desk and next morning I found my car right in front of the hotel. Amazing. Recommending to everyone.

El lugar es excelente, el apartamento muy limpio y la ubicación muy buena. Quizá el administrador debería tener mejor comunicación, tardaron mucho en responder para hacer el check in. Les escribí para hacer el check out y ni me respondieron de regreso. Prácticamente la comunicación con el administrador es mínima.

A motel is a good option if you're planning to road-trip around Sofia.
