Great hotel in the heart of Sofia - very classy with wonderful staff and accommodations. Convenient parking garage under hotel was perfect and the breakfast was quite tasty. I was able to venture around on foot to see the sights and enjoy some very delicious Bulgarian food (and even craft beer) - can't wait to return.

Grandeur hotel in very convenient location

It is in the amazing location, in front of a park. In several minutes, you can walk to the cathedral, parliament, the University of Sofia (one block) and many cafes and restaurants. The hotel has the traditional value of a great hotel. Staff are properly attired. Furniture is solid wood. Brass handles in the washroom are all well polished shiny.

Helpful receptions and very central to all places of interests. It’s only 5 minutes walk to Alexander cathedral and 10 minutes away from the buzzing Alexander Boulevard. The hotel is a bit dated and they charged for everything including water bottles. The bar could not offer all the alcoholic drinks offered on their drink menu. However, there are other bars very close by.
