The hotel is nice with good facilities, although just check you are not in a room next to the lifts as that can be a bit noisy. ##### James Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anamarie 17 Feb 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The entire hotel was AMAZING!!! Everything was wonderful, staff, the car service, breakfast, vicinity of hotel, metro (although, we didn't use; it's right outside the front door) etc. I traveled with my 13-year old daughter and it was situated in a safe location. I highly recommend staying here if you are visiting Sofia! ##### Anamarie Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2026 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Massimo 19 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Good location ##### Massimo Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Willy 21 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good hotel in a very central and comfortable area ##### Willy Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Tim 29 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Location was good ##### Tim Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hala 22 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Excellent hotel in the middle of the city Center with everything around and very good breakfast ##### Hala Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Zoe 24 Mar 2026 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Staff offered a “free upgrade” to a junior suit, we had to wait an extra hour and a half for our room to be ready. When we got given our room the room did not look like pictures at all. Yes it was bigger but the “upgraded” room was outdated, dirty, and to be honest creepy. It was like the rest of the hotel had been refurbed apart from this room, it was hidden away down one of the corridors. The room also had an issue with a loud buzzing sound, which we complained about and thankfully we got moved to our original room booking. I don’t know how staff thought it was an upgrade. The standard room was fine, and lovely, looked like the pictures. Do not book the junior suit. ##### Zoe Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Geoffrey 12 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The room was spacious well appointed, clean and comfortable.

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 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nikhail 18 Sept 2025 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing Amazing location and luxurious hotel.
