The hotel room was smaller than expected, around 22-23 sqm, with a charming view, but not soundproof as advertised. The service was friendly and helpful, although there were issues with payment methods. The location is on a noisy boulevard but offers a good breakfast and is central. The dining experience was fine, with good coffee and a rooftop bar. Overall, a mix of positives and negatives.

This hotel is a gem in Sofia! The rooms are incredibly spacious and modern, with a big terrace that offers a fantastic view. The pillows are like clouds, and everything is spotlessly clean. The breakfast was a delightful experience with amazing cappuccino and a stunning omelet. The rooftop bar provides a panoramic view of Sofia and serves great cocktails and food. The spa is a peaceful oasis, and the staff there is incredibly welcoming. The hotel itself boasts a modern design, a superb location, and a genuinely friendly staff, making it a fantastic choice in Sofia.

The hotel is ideally located in the heart of the city, within a short walk to all major attractions. The rooms are spacious, functional, and luxurious, but lacking proper storage facilities. The service is attentive, with a special anniversary package offered. The location is perfect for exploring the city, although some areas have a strong smell of smoke. The dining experience could be improved, and the facilities are top-notch.

The hotel offers very nice, clean, and spacious rooms with a balcony and an amazing view when you need it most. However, having a view of the back of the hotel can be disappointing and feel like a rip-off. The service provided by the staff is overall a credit to the hotel, extremely helpful, but some aspects like the restaurant service might lack friendliness and proper training. The location is ideal, right in the heart of Sofia, close to the main sights and attractions, although slightly off the busy tourist areas. The dining experience is nice with carefully selected options. The hotel boasts some great facilities. Value for money can vary based on the services utilized.
