Well Located and Welcoming

A comfortable hotel well located for touring the capital. It sits across from a park and the street is quiet. The staff is friendly and helpful with recommendations. Breakfast is good though coffee service gets overwhelmed and though tasty, coffee is not terribly hot. The bar and lounge is quiet but service is great. The restaurant is comfortable with excellent service - the outside decking area is very pleasant.

This hotel is close to the University of Sofia and located in a lovely neighforhood. The room was comfortable and quiet. My only problem involved the lack of air-conditioning one night, making it difficult to sleep. But, that was fixed by the following day.

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!

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.
