Close to bus station good breakfast
Friendly reception
Comfortable bed clean bathroom but carpets old and stained.
Very nice breakfast though.
My only complaint is that they charge 25 Euros and not Levas for airport transfer when a Cab only charges 25 BGN . So I got a cab as cheaper. I would stay again as it’s close to the bus station. Thank you.

We were pleasantly surprised at the attentiveness of staff to our needs, their ability to quickly help when needed and always being greeted with a smile. The food was chef exceptional. Ate at this hotel every evening as a result. Breakfast was plentiful with eggs and bacon, fresh croissants and various coffee choices. Room was clean, AC worked well and very spacious. VIP status was definitely worthy. Location of the hotel was in walking distance to all the historical sites (less then 20 minutes) We would recommend this hotel.

A comfortable, good value stay
A good value option 20-25 mins from the centre but close to trams, buses and metro. Rooms were spotlessly clean, fast wifi and good breakfast. Staff are lovely and helpful, especially Maria on reception.

I am in Sofia to start a tour of the Balkans. The tour agency uses this hotel and olí chose it for the first night I was in town to be at the same hotel. The hotel and area around it is quiet. Walkable to the city center. Breakfast is good in the mornings.
