I had a lovely stay at the hotel, which is conveniently located not far from the Sofia center. The rooms were very clean and cozy, with plenty of space to move around. The staff, especially Monica and Angel, were incredibly friendly and professional. The location was just right for me, not too close to the hustle and bustle but easy to find and close to the city zoo and parks. The dining experience was good, although I wished breakfast was included. Overall, a great value for money choice!

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room setup was not ideal for two people as it seemed more suitable for one, but the room itself was great with a European standard bathroom. The minibar was empty, which was a letdown. The location was a good balance, not too far from the city center yet close to Vitosha Mountain and the zoo. The service had its ups and downs, with some staff being very helpful and friendly while others seemed distracted and unprofessional. The dining options were good but felt rushed, and the facilities were satisfactory overall.

The hotel was tremendously big and surprisingly clean. The rooms were quite comfortable and spacious, but the blankets were really small. The unfriendly service was in a hurry to rectify a price error, and the location, while good and close to Vitosha, could do with less noticeable traffic. The dining options were limited but satisfying, and the facilities were satisfactory.

The hotel is a good business option not far from the airport, with modern and clean rooms that were very big and comfortable, though set up for 1 person instead of 2. The service was exceptionally friendly and helpful, making us feel truly grateful for their professionalism and politeness. The location was convenient, not too far from the city center yet away from the crowds, despite being on a busy street. Dining options were satisfactory but not exceptional, and the facilities offered met our expectations.

The hotel had a bit of a vintage vibe, but the standout feature was the incredibly kind and helpful staff. However, the presence of a strong cigarette mold smell in the bathroom was a major downside, especially near the drain. The lack of kitchenettes, dishes, and household appliances was also noted as a drawback.
