Our Favorite European Hotel

This is my father's favourite hotel, so we always stayed at this hotel when we stayed in Sofia, Bulgaria. The view of Alexander Nevsky Cathedral shining golden from my room on a summer day in Sofia was memorable. The most beautiful and convenient location in the heart of Sofia, close to Vitosha Street
