Very good location, close to shops ,restaurants etc. Close to the metro also. Very friendly people working there. Breakfast is also good. We had a very big room with a balcony.

Great location on quiet street but still close to all the action in Sofia. Generous and tasty breakfast buffet. Nice back terrace. Would definitely stay there again in a future visit to Sofia. Only negative was that the air conditioning could have been quieter and more effective.

The hotel staff and property itself was nice and clean however I did have a problem with how club cigarette smoke smell there was in the room other than that everyone was friendly, the room was huge and clean accept the ACs were broken and never worked but thankfully the windows could be opened breakfast was great and the location was convenient enough where taking taxi to and from wasn’t too expensive

Room was sparse, but huge! Beds were comfortable for me, a little hard for my companion. Great shower and breakfast, plus front desk staff were all very courteous. Location was very good for shopping/dining streets, but a bit of a walk to attractions and public transport. Only negative thing I can say is a shelf is needed in the shower. I would definitely stay again!

Hotel is well placed close to the Vitosha Boulevard in the city centre. Room was large and comfortable and had a large bath as well as the shower. Breakfast was perfectly adequate with a lot of choice. The immediate area is a bit scruffy but this applies to all the central side streets and is not unusual. Area is very quiet and safe. I found the hotel's central location was very convenient. It is also close to the NDK metro station.

The hotel itself has an excellent location quite close to all main attractions in Sofia along with vitosha blvd being so close where all best restaurants and bars are located. The staff were super friendly and helpful along with rooms being nice and spacious. major complaints were that the air conditioning was not at all working well as expected given how hot it was when we visited. The other major complaint is the shower drain is awfully designed in the toilets for water to leak everywhere in the restroom post a shower and doesn’t dry easily which caused quite a mess 😥
