Great hotel, very well located, especially to the metro (90 seconds walk) - the only thing that let us (and overheard others), the hot food at the buffet breakfast was consistently not hot, they need to work on that. Other breakfast items were perfect, fruits, pastries etc.

Room was amazing, very comfortable and the view was incredible. Only a few minor cons. The laundry service is very expensive, the building is on centralized air and in winter won’t allow you to go below 23*C so the room got quite warm, and the bellhops did not offer any help with the luggage on check in (only appearing after a suitcase got caught in the revolving door and I had to press the emergency stop).

We had a wonderful stay at Sofia Balkan. The hotel is conveniently located next to Serdika metro station. Most location attractions are within walking distance.
The rooms are clean and modern. The shower temperature could be a bit hotter and it’s strange there’s no hair dryer in the room.
Would recommend this hotel.
