8/10 Good
"Overall this hotel is clean and nice. We booked it for our last night before we fly out so it did the trick. The rooms are very small and the breakfast was not nice. The staff were friendly"

Sofia Balkan Palace

8/10 Good
"Hotel was in an excellent location. Very nicely styled hotel with very friendly staff. Our room was beautiful. No blind in the bathroom and paint on ceiling in shower peeling off - you would think it would get fixed as an easy one. On first look breakfast appeared to be good - lots of choice and nice looking fruit etc…however most of the hot choices were luke warm. A real shame as something they could sort. Overall I would recommend staying - just be prepared for breakfast not being great"
