My stay at the hotel was mostly enjoyable. The rooms were clean and immaculate, but unfortunately, my room happened to be near a wedding event in the hotel restaurant, making it noisy in the evening. The staff was extremely polite, kind, and helpful, ensuring a positive and professional service experience. The location was excellent, although a bit further from the town center than expected, but still convenient for exploring the city. The dining options were good with a variety of local and international foods, but it seemed a bit overpriced in comparison to other places I've stayed.

The hotel offers modern and clean rooms, but the proximity to the train affects the ability to enjoy fresh air at night. The service is exceptional, especially with our toddler.

Overall, a good value for money stay.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms, while facing the noisy tram line, were well-equipped and discreet. The staff, especially Martin, was welcoming and discreet. The service was friendly and accommodating, with fluent English-speaking staff members. The location, right in the center close to important attractions, was convenient for exploring Sofia. The dining options were good, though opening times were a bit late for my schedule. Facilities were satisfactory but venturing outside at night was not ideal due to noise.

The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the view from the room was wonderful. The modern bathroom, especially the extra-large shower, was a huge plus.
