Excellent strategically-located boutique hotel
I have tried most if not all the 4 and 5 stars in Sofia, Bulgaria so far in life. Crystal Palace offers an excellent, quiet boutique hotel atmosphere with very polite and helpful staff who speak Bulgarian and English fluently. The underground parking is easily accessible and free which is a huge bonus in Sofia. The room was quite large (over 300 square feet) and it was very clean. Overall you could see the hotel is maintained regularly.

Fantastic hotel with fantastic location and services , But, and I repeat, But one huge problem - cigarette smoke. When we complained, the staff just shrugged their shoulders and explained to us that some of their clients smoke even in the nonsmoking rooms and they can not do anything about it. The only exception was one waiter who moved us to the empty breakfast room to eat as we couldn't tolerate all the smoke in the dining room at dinner. We didn't get his name but are so thankful for his understanding and great service. So to the question " would you recommend this hotel to others?", the answer is not a simple Yes or No . To smokers - Yes To nonsmokers - Never

Great location and close everything.
Good hotel, clean, friendly staff, comfortable bed and great location Breakfast is just ok. The major problem is the bathroom. There is no ventilation fan, so it is so humid after bath. You need open the bathroom door.

Excellent value for the money downtown Sofia, Bg
My trip was amazing! Everything the hotel offers: perfect location, very clean, new interior and facilities, outstanding service in all details, very friendly staff, luxury car transportation from/to the airport, a fitness facility, underground garage, bunch of excellent bars and restaurants around 3 to 8 minutes away (I would mention Grozd, Shtastlivetza, Chef's Live, Arbat). It is located in 5 - 10 minutes walk from the main touristic, historic, architectural and administrative focal points of the city. A nice garden or park is across the street. Finally, the hotel has an own restaurant with excellent drinks! The hotel is not large, offers good privacy and calm atmosphere: just downtown but quite silent. The Crystal Palace helped me organizing all my busyness trips and meetings, as well as to relax well between these. I regret I was only for five business days there - for sure spending the weekend there would be a good bonus for travelling business people.

I highly recommend this hotel!!
A friend and I have been traveling for over a month in Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Turkey and Egypt. Some of our hotels were delightful and others left much to be desired. We didn’t know what to expect at this hotel in Sofia Bulgaria. It was our great pleasure to stay in the Crystal Palace. Our room was spacious, quiet, beautifully decorated, very clean and we noticed the hotel has great attention to details. The breakfast buffet is widely varied and exceptionally good. We ate in the restaurant one evening and thoroughly enjoyed our meal.
