The budget hotel chain Easy Hotels, which announced in 2008 plans to enter the Bulgarian market, has finally completed its first project in Sofia, Dnevnik daily said on October 22 2009.

The first Easy Hotel in the Bulgarian capital will be on the intersection between Todor Alexandrov Boulevard and Aldomirovska Street and will open for business in January 2010.

The hotel will have 57 rooms in total, but total bed capacity or the number of beds per room has not been disclosed just yet. The hotel is nine storeys high and rooms are on offer for 10 euro. Reservations for next year can already be made now, Dnevnik said.

Easy Hotels is owned by budget carrier EasyJet. To date, Easy Hotels' chain includes 10 hotels in the United Kingdom, Hungary, Switzerland and Cyprus. By January 2010, apart from the hotel in Sofia, the company plans to open hotels in Dubai and Berlin.

Can I just make it clear that EasyHotels is absolutely nothing to do with easyJet the airline? To say so is extremely lazy journalism.

Only in Bulgaria.
I just made a test booking from januari 27 2010, and to my suprice they charge 2 euro/24h if you want to haw TV remote control to your TV. I wonder if they will soon charge a fee if you want to flush the toilet too.
