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. The location is convenient for exploring Sofia but had some issues with faulty water drain. The dining experience is excellent, with a good range of food choices. 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.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were rather small with thin doors connecting to the neighbor room, making it noisy. The small kitchen was a nice addition, but the layout seemed like it used to be part of an apartment in the past.

I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The room was fantastic with top-notch air conditioning, double glazing for soundproofing, and an amazing shower. 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. The only downside was that you had to keep requesting drinks at the bar.

The hotel is located near the heart of the city, very close to the Vitocha street. The rooms, although not facing the main street, are clean, comfortable, and spacious, though a better chair would have been appreciated. The service is incredibly friendly and welcoming, with helpful staff recommending local restaurants. The location is convenient, only ten minutes from the Serdica metro station. The dining experience was wonderful, offering fresh pastries and fine coffee. The facilities are well taken care of.
