Some furnishings and surfaces in the room need to be updated (e.g., stained/old towels, scratched floors and walls). The shower doesn’t have an actual fixed shower head, just a handheld one which made showering really difficult. Rooms were noisy at night — even on a Monday night — you could hear talking and furniture moving and walking in the next room. My room was also by a service elevator which made the situation much worse. But the staff were so lovely and helped me as much as they could.

We stayed here for 4 nights. It was such a lovely hotel. So comfortable, large spacious room. And comfortable beds. It was cleaned daily. The staff were so helpful and friendly. Very professional. The location was brilliant, right in the city centre. Lots of cafes and restaurants nearby as well as the main town centre. Everything is as walking distance. I would highly recommend this hotel.

This hotel is located in teh center of Sofia. The gym is ok, a little small for me, I felt a little claustrophobic. The sauna is good. The only ting I did not like - the car parking charges unexpected (20 euro per day), When I was booking the hotel there was no info about it.

Book another hotel

Don’t stay there!!! Bar closed from 11pm -12 noon. No room service after 9pm Waiting staff sat at restaurant tables smoking right up until the second it opens at noon. And refused to let us in at 11.55 am because all 8 staff were sat smoking. Rooms badly need upgrading. Sanitary ware falling off the walls. Balcony was a trip hazard. We booked the hotel because of the rooftop bar. A week before we arrived they emailed to say it would be closed. Joke
