Great hotel in the heart of Sofia - very classy with wonderful staff and accommodations. Convenient parking garage under hotel was perfect and the breakfast was quite tasty. I was able to venture around on foot to see the sights and enjoy some very delicious Bulgarian food (and even craft beer) - can't wait to return.

It is in the amazing location, in front of a park. In several minutes, you can walk to the cathedral, parliament, the University of Sofia (one block) and many cafes and restaurants. The hotel has the traditional value of a great hotel. Staff are properly attired. Furniture is solid wood. Brass handles in the washroom are all well polished shiny.

Con: No basic amenities such as iron are available in the hotel, yet their pressing service has very limited operating hours. No water bottle in the room. The walls are paper-thin. Pro: Nice and quiet location.

Stayed here for a business trip, really liked my spacious room with air conditioning, water kettle, complimentary mineral water, tea, and coffee, bathtub, stable password-protected WiFi, daily cleaning, good breakfast, restaurant on site, proximity to parks and my business event venue. Only minor issue was the safe wasn’t working. Highly recommended!
