The room was large and comfortable, and the fittings and fixtures looked clean and new especially in the bathroom. The staff were helpful and kind, providing us recommendation for local food. Most of all, the hotel was in an excellent central location, within walking distance to most major sites in the city centre. We really enjoyed our stay here in Sofia and are happy to recommend this hotel!
The hotel is perfect for sight seeing in Sofia - everything was within walking distance including lots of bars and restaurants , there is a beautiful park behind the hotel which is lovely to sit and relax in - also only 20 mins from the airport
The room was absolutely beautiful and exceeded our expectations. The bedroom was spacious and elegantly decorated, with a comfortable sitting area that made the room feel even more luxurious and inviting. The bathroom was exceptional, featuring both a walk-in shower and a beautiful bathtub. Everything was clean, stylish, and thoughtfully designed. Overall, a wonderful luxury experience and a room we would be happy to stay in again.

This hotel is in an excellent location in the city, within walking distance to many of Sofia's main attractions. However, the decor is very dark and dated, and the air conditioning in the room was not the best, leading to a sweaty sleep experience.
The hotel is over all fantastic – the rooms are very large, with all the amenities. The location of the hotel is hard to beat, very central, walkable to all the places that someone wants to visit in the city.
Excellent hotel for location, space, and functionality. May appear dated to some, however was clean, well maintained, and otherwise comfortable spacious room. Short walk to area amenities, transit, and attractions. Staff were attentive/courteous to inquiry. Would stay again for central location/access to transit and Vitosha Street.
