My stay at the hotel had its highs and lows. While the room was quite dim and in need of some renovations, the friendly staff made exploring the city a breeze. The location was fantastic, just a short walk to major attractions and metro access, but the next-door yard left a bit to be desired. Overall, it was decent value for money, but there's room for improvement.

The room was very dim, located in the basement and in need of renovations. The shower mixer wasn't working properly, and it was frustrating that the room was right next to the lift, which affected the quietness.
Service

The service had its challenges since they were unable to explain or rectify an issue I had, and it took over an hour of discussions to get my extra money refunded. However, the staff was super friendly and helped me explore the city, even holding a sign with my name upon my arrival.

The location was excellent; just a five-minute walk to the Serdika metro and within walking distance of Vitosha Boulevard where there are plenty of shops, bars, and restaurants. The proximity to the metro made getting to the airport easy, although the neighboring yard was unsightly.

The hotel has a fantastic location in the city center, making it really convenient for sightseeing. While the rooms were a bit noisy and lacked some comfort elements, the service was friendly and helpful. The dining option could use improvement as breakfast availability was inconsistent. Overall, it's decent for the price, but there were a few drawbacks.

I stayed at a hotel that had a charming romantic style and some spacious rooms, which I really appreciated. The location was perfect for exploring Sofia, making it easy to get to most tourist attractions on foot.
