The hotel is conveniently located next to Serdika metro station. Most location attractions are within walking distance. The rooms are clean and modern. The shower temperature could be a bit hotter and it’s strange there’s no hair dryer in the room. Would recommend this hotel. ##### chi wai Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jeff 27 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good hotel on one of yhe main shopping streets ##### Jeff Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### sheldon 2 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great experience ##### sheldon Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jeff 6 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good hotel with great dining and shopping option ##### Jeff Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sally 27 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Really nice central place to stay. ##### Sally Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Irina 18 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities I had a great experience staying at this hotel and would highly recommend it. ##### Irina Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anna 30 Jun 2025 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Wonderful staff, great breakfast, & beautiful room.

The property could be five star but has zero star service. Check-in was a nightmare, staff were rude and unconcerned with guests. Room cleaning, when it happened, was shoddy. Bathroom had embedded grime. Restaurant service was appalling. Asking four times for a menu, long wait for food and beverages. Sadly disappointing. ##### Peter Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pavel 17 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great hotel, awesome location ##### Pavel Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### marcin 29 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service nice but no swimming pool ##### marcin Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nikolay 22 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort I’ve already said it, great experience ##### Nikolay Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nikola 8 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Great hotel in the middle of everything ##### Nikola Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Yehuda 16 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful hotel, great location Beautiful hotel, great location friendly and good service restaurant has a nice and good service, but the menu is dull - better going outside ##### Yehuda Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Katsiaryna 3 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The hotel is beautiful, but AC didn’t work properly… it was crazy hot .

Lobby was very nice. Help at restaurant was bad. Server was very rude. Made us feel like we were bothering him by entering to have lunch. Wine bottle that we ordered had turned sour. Probibsky due to poor storage. Hotel room was akward with different level and hard to understand lighting. No fan in bathroom. Fitness was mediocre. ##### Patricia Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ercan 1 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Super ##### Ercan Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Paul 19 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Old world style hotel with beautiful rooms very close to Serdica metro and major sights in Sofia.
