Fantastic hotel with pleasant staff. Check in was easy although we struggled to park even in the underground. Seemed a lot of cars with long stay papers in the windscreen. Room was really big but carpet has what looked like a cigarette burn in it. Either way suited us. The best thing about the hotel is we had an early flight and they put on an early breakfast from 3am! Fantastic! Sandwiches and fruit with drinks. Excellent touch. I will definitely be booking again on my next visit to Sofia and would highly recommend

We had a great stay at this hotel, which is right on the corner with Vitosha street. Great location, walkable to all the main attractions. Plenty of restaurants nearby. The room was also great, there is an AC. We could leave our bags at reception after check-out. Breakfast was at a nearby cafe Memento which consisted of a coffee and a croissant which was perfect for us. Would recommend!
