There was a blip with my booking as never received the call from the owner to check if I was still to be coming and my credit card had been updated since I first booked so he thought I was a time waster. However, when I arrived on his doorstep, we soon resolved the issue and I was able to stay (but just for one night). He could not book a taxi in advance for me for the following morning so was so obliging that he said, if I went outside in the morning and runs his front door bell, he would know it was me and would order a taxi immediately. That is what I consider brilliant service and would recommend the Guest Rooms to anyone who loves older property, with character (and can manage the stairs).

This is a decent budget accommodation. It’s not luxurious, but it is clean and functional and the staff are helpful and friendly. Rooms are reasonably spacious, the wifi signal is good and it’s centrally located so it’s an easy walk to both the bus station and the centre of town. Bathrooms are basic and while they have showers, there are no cubicles so water goes everywhere. Breakfast isn’t available, but there is a common kettle and microwave. I would choose to stay there again.

The room and common areas were tidy. But shower had barely a drip of water coming out, also it was difficult to get warm (not hot, not cold) water and the sink was the size of my palm. Shower was right next to toilet and there was nothing to wipe the floor with. Bed was creaky, but pillows good. Air-con worked. Enough space to put luggage in the room. My reservation mentioned room with a balcony, but I was not given one. I don't mind. But if you book, make sure you get a balcony if that's what you'd like. Area was ok. Close to transport and sights.

A very nice place to stay. Definitely a guest house, not a hotel/hostel or anything like that. There's a fridge to use and some plates, etc. but no sink to wash up in. The room was comfortable and the bathroom was ok. Our room had a balcony and there's a larger communal balcony that can be used as well. The owner is very friendly and had lots of information about the local area. A short walk to one of the large parks in the city and then on to the main pedestrianised area and the old town.

Absolutely brilliant. Just what we wanted, large room with a balcony that was spotlessly clean. Place to make a cup of coffee and the opportunity to get our clothes washed.

Superb building, helpful management, perfect location.

Awesome experience. Clean room, cheap, city center. Cannot get better than this!

Excellent value. Upbeat and helpful owner who made positive recommendations when asked.

We booked a twin room 6 months before arrival; got a confirmation but when we arrived a room with a double bed was prepared for us. The lady did not speak one word of English and some younger girl came to explain us everything. They were fully aware of the fact that we had booked a room with 2 separate beds! They said we had to sleep in the double room this night and they would give us a twin room tomorrow. We did not agree with this, as we booked 6 months in advance and had received multiple confirmations for the separate beds. We told the young lady to find a solution for the mistake that they had made. She said that the boss ‘is always like that’. Clearly somebody else also booked a twin room and 'the boss' decided to move us to the double room and give us the twin room when the other people checked out next day, hoping we would not care. Ultimately an uncomfortable folding bed was placed in the room for my daughter. We stayed in this room for 4 nights as we didn’t want to pack and unpack again next day to change rooms. The bathroom was very primitive: one tap for both the sink and the shower tube. The shower was just a showerhead next to the toilet, no curtains, no drainage. There was an air conditioning system, but no cold air came out of the system. As the rooms are under the roof it remained around 30° C the whole night. If you appreciate reliable reservations and decent working air conditioning, do not choose this hostel.

I actually booked this lodging by mistake, and walked from the bus station 40 min uphill to the old town, went to where I thought I had a reservation. They looked at my Expedia written reservation, and said, no, that it was at another place, similar name, down by the bus station! So back down I went. This was was basic but comfortable, very affordable, and easily accessible to train and bus stations. I walked up several nice wide flights of stairs to my room. Great value for the low price! Few eating options nearby though.

Although Bulgarians were all smiley and friendly, a male staff in this guest house was the best Ive ever encountered. He was super friendly and helpful and he deserved many many stars! The guest house was newley restored, so the room was clean, and it was even equipped an air conditioner.The condition of bathroom was fair with unconventional positioning of shower. Overall, nice staff and condition, definately worth of the price you pay.

Very convenient to both bus and train stations. Very close to the old town and parks but quiet as though out of the city.

This stay was amazing, the hotel is one street away from the park and a short walk from anything you'd want to see in the city! I loved it and had the contest room with a balcony in the center. I would definitely stay here again.

It fit the bill.

very central hotel near the stations and the town. big rooms with a shared kitchenette and terrace. fairly basic but clean and tidy. value for money would recommend it!
