Loved the room, was spacious, modern and super clean. The breakfast was awesome and on top of that, a huge mall was side by side to the hotel. I had a great experience.
The room was ok, great view over the city, but without any complimentary small botlle of water ... Very good breakfast, many choices, very tasty as usually in Bulgaria
The breakfast was delicious. The lounge area is comfortable and staff is so friendly. The rooms were comfortable and I loved the water fillers at the elevator.
Great property. The staff was amazing and always available to assist. I would definitely stay there again. The only con I have is that it is a little distant from the city center. But fun to walk if you like walking to get your steps in.
Great hotel, but a bit of a turn off when you show up 10 min before the end of breakfast and you are met with “you have 5 min to eat” from the not so happy to see you waitress. Shame that he service is such, as the hotel offers great convenient location for folks traveling in and out of Sofia internationally (airport is only 6 min by car).
Parked out big van out front, and they reserved us a spot after asking. Nice friendly staff.
Located next to a huge Mall, and not far from bus stops to town.
Rooms are.adequate, not huge.
Breakfast ok, just a bit samey if staying for a few days.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
the room was large and nicely furnished. HOWEVER, it was very warm because the property had already turned off the air conditioning & turned on the heat. Normally we would just open a window & problem solved but at this hotel the windows don't open!
We left very early in the morning & didn't have the breakfast so I can't comment on the quality. But they did have coffee and some fruit put out for those with early departures, which was nice.
