Air Hotel

We came to this hotel at short notice, owing to bad weather.It is almost 1 km along a suburban road from the airport,in a residential area next to a very good, upmarket ,supermarket and a restaurant.The location is reasonably quiet,apart from birds in the morning. It is not a luxury hotel,and generally looks a little worn.Some of the guests were families, but there was also a group of truck drivers arrived from Sofia.The truck drivers were quieter than the families.Our room was of average size, with some recent refurbishing of beds and lighting.There was a fridge and proper wardrobe with drawers- better than a typical Ibis,for instance.The beds were rather soft ,and had unpleasant rubberised mattress covers.There was a useful balcony with two chairs and a table,with double glazing and a roller shutter to the room .The bathroom had a shower with part of the sliding doors missing,but otherwise was fully functional,including a good basin and a bidet.Again ,this was better than a more modern standard budget hotel. At the end of April,the air conditioning was not available,and the room became a little warm overnight with the windows sealed.Sound insulation from the adjacent room was poor- unwanted noise could be successfully masked by leaving the bathroom extractor fan on all night. Breakfast was of a standard basic three star type.Evening meals were available from a menu with reasonable choice,to be ordered before 1700 and brought as a takeaway by 1900,eaten with plates and cutlery in the breakfast room .Good local wine was available at €7-9,and a three course meal was only €16.I thought the quality was as good as a simple restaurant. The best feature of this hotel is the friendly nature of the staff, who were particularly helpful with local transport.We were more comfortable here,trapped by the weather for 4 days,than a modern budget hotel, and the price was very low

Super friendly staff and owner. Walking distance to town center and airport. Supermarket, icecream bar, pharmacy all nearby.
