Overall good spot.
The hotel overall was good. The rooms are a little on the smaller side but luckily i was only travelling with one hand luggage. Bed was comfortable, room was clean. Toiletries were basic (shampoo/body wash). Breakfast was okay - nothing spectacular but fills you up. My only complaint was the coffee machine. No matter what option I chose, I couldnt get more than 1/3 of a mug. The free airport shuttle is great. We called when we landed and they came within the 15 minutes the front desk said they would. Shuttle was already available the next day when we went to head back.

This is a typical Ibis with standard room layouts and standard furniture. There are plenty of outlets for charging devices. The airport shuttle is available when called. We used it daily. The breakfast buffet is available at an extra charge and has many selections. We had dinner at the hotel restaurant two nights in a row. The food was satisfactory. Our waiter Lachezar was friendly, efficient and was a very hard worker who hustled to get us our food and beverages. The staff all speak fluent English. This Ibis met our expectations and was a good value.

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....
