People are incredibly spoiled. They want to pay only 10 euros and sleep in the city center, almost in the pedestrian zone, and if possible get a jacuzzi in the room for that money. We read the comments carefully before booking these rooms. They're not perfect, but they're far better than the reviews we've read. That is why we will give this accommodation a score of 10 to improve their score. :) Greetings from Serbia.

This was our second stay at Serdika Rooms, so we had a good idea of what to expect: modest living conditions, but an excellent location that is hard to beat. It’s right in the city center, where multiple layers of Sofia meet—the shopping promenade, churches, mosques and synagogues, ruins and modern buildings—all intersecting near the metro station that’s practically at the door. The host was very responsive through Booking.com chat and answered all our inquiries promptly. We arrived outside of standard check-in hours but were provided with clear and easy instructions to let ourselves in. The room was even more modest than we remembered from last year. The bathroom was private but located across the hallway, which came as a surprise, but it was lockable and used only by us. Everything was clean, though both the room and bathroom could use some renovation. If your expectations are aligned with the price and the location is your priority, this is a solid choice. 👍 What I liked Excellent location for exploring Sofia Steps from metro and main attractions Responsive host, smooth check-in Clean private facilities Excellent price for central location 📝 Bonus Notes Best suited for short stays or travelers on a budget Bring slippers—floors are basic Great as a base for exploring, not ideal for long indoor lounging

Very basic room setup Private bathroom was not en suite The space could use some updating

Everything was perfect. The Metro station is outside of the property. Also everything is very close to this place. You can also find a lot of halal food places. We ate mostly from Ikram. Also, after getting off plane, take M4 metro from airport and get out at Serdika Metro station. You can walk to the hotel. It will only cost you 1.6 leva. You will have to punch your bank card to the metro entrance to use the metro.

There were no lift, but that is not a problem. Because its only 2-story building. So its not hard to go upstairs. Not recommended for people with physical challenges.

Excellent location For the price of this hotel this place has everything needed. Room is huge Hot water Great air-conditioning Excellent WiFi Metro outside the door to take you to airport T2 you can get to T1 from there with the free shuttle

After reading reviews I'm not sure what people expect this is a budget room at a budget price if people want 5 star book 5 star. It's excellent value yes basic but all amenities in a great location. Improvement could be the bathroom but not an issue for the price.

I don’t understand the negative reviews AT ALL - yes, the accommodation is basic and a little on the older side, but communication is flawless, you can’t beat the location and everything is spotless clean. I booked through a partner website because of the low price, so didn’t actually see the score until after my reservation was confirmed, and was quite worried, but the property far exceeded expectations. Don’t let yourselves be fooled, it’s a great place to stay!

Very adecvate for the price, bathroom clean, room clean. Very close to everything. Few metres away from metro station and pretty caffe with good breakfast. Overall very great experience. Would recommend

Our neighbours were very loud, but that is not a problem of the owner but the guests. Our lock was a bit destroyed, it looked very unstable but we were able to lock the room.

The place was big, cosy, private, and nicely decorated. Just by the metro station and close to the main attractions. While we explored the oldtown it was always in a 5-10 minutes walking distance. Self-check in and out also worked smoothly

On our second night we found 3 cockroaches in the room.

The location was outstanding and made our stay very enjoyable and easy, being right in the city centre. The room was very clean and comfortable and the receptionist was polite and assertive. The bathroom was small, but it was also clean and tidy.

If we had to pin-point something that could have been better, it would be the bathroom, but taking everything else into account it was really no problem.

For the value it does was it supposed to, a clean bed with a bathroom to stay the night. The location is perfect (literally near the subway entrance).

The building is very old, so don't expect any luxuries.

Location absolutely excellent, right next to Serdika tube station. Bed was very comfortable, shower hot and powerful, and the room was big, with a table and plenty of floorspace and lots of natural light. Host has excellent communications and was very flexible with me. My trip was shortened by a day at very short notice and the host was happy to refund me that day and also allowed me a late check out.
