My favorite property in Sofia. Its location was very central, near an ornate mosque. The hotel was in a fairly nice area close to main street and an opera house.

Our stay here was very very good, amazing base for exploring Sofia. The location was magnificent, at a short distance from National Art Gallery. The room was high quality with a comfy bed and a delicious breakfast included. The staff were efficient and decent, gave us great tips. They helped us get a shuttle to the airport.

We liked our stay. Breakfast was large, staff were attentive, location was really handy. Walking distance to the magnificent beach🙂👌
Facilities were particularly good, but Wi-Fi was very poor.

Staff were classy and the service was very good, it had charming location near the centre. It was perfectly located. Clean pool to relax in too. Young hotel, good value, what else to wish for.

Our stay was superb, good value. Gorgeous breakfast, staff was willing to help while we were there. A wonderful beach, decent view. Also, a cathedral church was 2 km away.

Very, very nice staff, ideal location, everything was exceptional. I liked the satisfactory breakfast. They made my stay comfortable. It was good to have hot drinks in the bistro bar. Besides, free WiFi was acceptable, you can use it throughout the property. You could walk to shopping centre and supermarket.
Views appeared to be awful.

I had a really comfortable time, the staff was very attentive. There was plenty of food that was freshly made. Liked their strong drinks, served in the bistro bar. Need to be mentioned, it had free wifi throughout the property. Handy location, relatively near Russian Church st Nicholas.
All was perfect.

Fine for a family. It was just next door to everything and the view was nice! Really enjoyed that they have extra bed if you need.

We greatly enjoyed the staff and location. Room was good sized for us. A market and a central market are close enough to the hotel. For breakfast venue charges 5 EUR per person per day

Not the cheapest one but great for the money. Hadjidraganovite kashti, which can be found only 900 ft away, was a fast option. The hotel was an easy walk to national palace of culture...

Location was good, walking distance to a subway station. A 15-minute walk took us to vitosha boulevard, which was a bonus.
