    It was just a suitable option for a quick stop in Sofia with fantastic value for money. The room had a stunning view of the beautiful Orthodox church which made waking up a highlight. Just make sure to double-check your wake-up calls for timely service.

    relaxing terrace
    cozy lounge
    cleaning issue

    I had a lovely stay and really enjoyed the rich buffet breakfast with fresh orange juice and cappuccino. There were great spots to relax, like the lovely terrace and the cozy lounge area. The only hiccup was some minor cleaning issues, but overall, I had a fantastic time! 😊

    Comfortable room, delicious breakfast, including tasty coffee and fresh fruit, in a central location, just a short walk to various attractions and the metro station.

    delicious breakfast
    modern shower
    older furniture

    I had an amazing stay! The breakfast spread was incredible, especially the lemon tart and traditional Bulgarian banitsa. I loved the modern room facilities, and the shower was an absolute highlight! However, be prepared that the furniture might look older than in the photos.

    cozy room
    unbeatable location

    The location is unbeatable, right near all the sights! The cozy room had a nice view and techy controls for lighting, though a bit confusing at first. Plus, the charm of the historical lobby made for a great first impression.

    Felt so comfortable, no reason to complain.

    gorgeous suite
    delicious breakfast
    relaxing pool
    weak air conditioning

    We had an awesome stay in a beautiful suite, and the breakfast spread was top-notch! Enjoyed some nice downtime by the pool and unwound in the spa. The only hiccup was the air conditioning, which didn’t cool the room as well as we hoped. 😊
