The hotel offers a fantastic view towards Vitosha mountain, but the rooms have old stained carpets with a very bad smell. The reception desk service was confusing, but car hire and other services were available. The location is close to everything in the city, but the neighborhood may seem shady. The dining experience included wholesome food. Facilities were adequate, but value for money could be better.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms had a great view towards the Vitosha mountain, with twin beds and a flatscreen TV with international channels, though the furniture was not very comfortable. The service, from the housekeepers to the reception desk, was a bit mixed, but overall satisfactory. The location was right in the city centre, close to all the major sights of Sofia, although the neighborhood felt a bit shady. The dining experience was pleasant, especially with the fresh omelettes and various dishes offered. The facilities provided were adequate, making my stay convenient and enjoyable.

The hotel is ideally located in the heart of Sofia, right on a bustling pedestrian mall, offering convenience and access to various amenities. While the rooms had old stained carpets with an unpleasant smell and the furnishings were not the most comfortable, the presence of a flat-screen TV with international channels added a modern touch. The lack of cleanliness and new towels was a drawback, affecting the overall room experience.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The room had a great view towards the Vitosha mountain, with a balcony, though the towels were not replaced regularly. The flatscreen TV with international channels was a nice touch. The service was a mixed experience with some hiccups but ultimately satisfactory. The location was convenient, although the area has become a bit sketchy. The dining was enjoyable with delicious omelettes and assorted muffins. Overall, a decent hotel with some room for improvement.
