Very nice hotel in walking distance to many Sofia attractions: cathedrals, palace/museum, art galleries, archaeological museum, etc. plus metro and bus/tram lines. We really enjoyed the adjoining Italian restaurant.

The location is excellent, near the major monuments, restaurants and parks. The check in was stressful, with the reception insisting that I had cancelled the rooms (I had cancelled one day out of three). It took us some time to correct the misunderstanding. Otherwise, the hotel is clean and quiet.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is, honestly, past its prime. However, given the exceptionally low price, one knows that going in. Given that, it was clean and comfortable and walkable to all of the major attractions in Sofia.

Excellent location. Wonderful shower. Good spread at breakfast. Helpful staff. On the downside, while we were on the upgraded 8th floor, some of the building is still in need of updating. Breakfast area is tired. 'Hot' food on one day was cold. Decor on our floor not my taste. Too dark. But that's a personal thing. Room was big and had everything we needed.

I spent 3 nights in a twin renovated room located on the 5oo floor. The room was tidy, warm and comfortable. The rooms comes with a nespresso coffee machine and coffee pods are provided on a daily base. In addition to 2 small bottles of mineral water are provided everyday. Last but not least the rooms comes with a fridge which is a much appreciated plus.

6/10 Good

While the lobby has been renovated, the room we stayed in was not in great condition. The beds are relatively new, however, everything else is from Communist times and falling apart. Has a balcony. Somebody had smoked either in this room or in one connected to this one via the bathroom vent as the cigarette smell was heavy when we checked in. Location is very good and central. Would have chosen another central hotel for the same price had I known the state of the rooms Staff was courteous. Would probably had chosen another centralsame

It was an older hotel but well maintained and located in an excellent area with plenty of shops and cafes. I would most definitely stay here again if I ever came back to Sophia.
