Budapest to Sofia Destination Reviews

Anonymous

Bus bathroom was locked. People took a lot more space than required, no consideration for others. Every stop immediately half the passengers started smoking basically on the entrance to the bus, so it was uncomfortable for anyone sensitive. Specifically this was much to expensive to the received level of service.
