    fine location
    spacious suite
    excellent breakfast
    slow access

    The hotel is fine and in a fantastic spot for exploring Sofia. We loved the spacious suite that provided us with peaceful park views. Breakfast was a delicious spread, and the staff were professional and attentive.

    My kids wished for quicker access to extra amenities.

    superb room
    varied breakfast
    underwhelming hot items

    I enjoyed my stay, especially the superb room with a balcony and the varied breakfast options, though a few hot items felt underwhelming compared to expectations. Would return!

    I like this hotel so much, because rooms are comfortable and always clean. When I stayed here, there were not enough dress hangers in my room, so I requested them. The hotel quickly responded to it. After that I stayed here 3 times, and I find in every room furnishes them.

    Fairly clean place with responsive staff and incredible view to the Doctors' Garden. Fab croissants, cereals, and fruit in the morning. Unbeatable location of the hotel in a quiet area. Also - close to Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and other places of interest, and the centre from Sofia.

    limited breakfast variety
    old style hotel

    The service was choice, the staff always keen to help, but the breakfast could've done with more variety, yeah? A solid spot to unwind.

    Great hotel, staff couldn't be more firendly. We arrived early in the morning after travelling all night and whilst we couldn't check in the staff let us use all the facilities to get cleaned up and get out in to Sofia for the day. Also helped us with onward jouney information.

    Close to the city, nice environment; stable and performant free internet access

    For a stay of 6-days incl. a weekend I would have expected an additional discount or e.g. acess to Sauna which was not included in the price; Shower partly needed long time to spend warm water; scrumbled eggs at breakfast have been cold.
