    Reception has a slightly creepy fee- very quiet at night and not very well lit. Miss Haversham vibes. I don't like the way they now use a button to hail a taxi - I sleep better knowing that a taxi has been booked and will be waiting for me when I have an early flight. To be fair though there were not any major problems with this system.

    Hotel is great value and easy to get to the airport from (10 minute journey) and 24 hour reception. Hotel rooms have a kettle which is great- a coffee sachet would not go amiss.

    We were in a room, probably offered to people with pets 'cause of the pet hair we found on the carpet. So far, so good. However, they charged us 15euros/day (30euros in total for God shake) for a 4kg dog. Per day, not per stay!!! Hotels which accept pets, usually charge you an extra fee for your pet, because the personnel may have to try harder to clean the room due to pet hair. Though, they don't clean the room every day, the pet doesn't use bathroom, electricity, breakfast or other amenities. 15euros/day is considered a "far from reasonal" charge. I understand that this is their policy, but they have to understand that is too much & this is our opinion!!!

    Room was really big. It was clean. Mattress was comfortable. Hot water all-day long. Warm room. Parking lots were plenty enough. Receptionists were kind & friendly. Breakfast was fair but tasty & in large quantities. Nice fruit juices & good machine-made mocaccino.

    Another superb stay at Hotel Montecito
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveler

    Maybe it was just because it was a Sunday night/Monday morning rather than a Saturday night/Sunday morning (when I usually stay), but I thought the breakfast wasn't quite as good as it usually is. There was less choice of breads and cakes, and the juice machine was working one minute and not the next. Also, a suggestion - make some sauces like ketchup and mustard available! It's also a shame that the number 384 bus linking the hotel directly to Terminal 2 of Sofia Airport has been withdrawn, but this is not the Hotel's fault.

    I've reviewed Hotel Montecito at least once before and the fact that I keep coming back tells you in itself that I think this is a superb hotel for the warmer months. For the price, [amongst other things] you get air con and a fridge in your bedroom that you can put your own things in, a very good breakfast and a huge outdoor swimming pool with 3m diving platform. There are also Jumbo (good and cheap for if you forget your charger, flip flops, hat, sunglasses, etc!) and Lidl stores within a few minutes' walk as well direct buses to the Levski Sofia, CSKA Sofia and "Vasil Levski" football stadia. The staff really went the extra mile for me on this visit, reminding me about the private transfer to Sofia Airport that I'd requested and only charging me 10 lev for it. They even prepared me a FOC takeaway breakfast consisting of a sandwich, apple and bottle of water. The transfer driver was really friendly too.

    Such a shame that most workers in Bulgaria don't like their work, or in any case don't want other people to know they do. An occasional smile would have approve our rating

    We have been coming here for more than 12 years, a stable very nice experience. We like the pool very much and the decent enough continental breakfast.
