Review by hotel critic
Nestled right in the heart of Sofia, this hotel offers a strategic location perfect for those eager to explore the city's vibrant culture. My room was undeniably spacious and functional, equipped with air conditioning – a must for maintaining comfort during warmer days. The new bathroom and an ample supply of towels added convenience to my stay. I found it frustratingly poorly marked; despite my GPS leading me here, locating the entrance required multiple circles around the block. The noise levels were less than ideal, piercing through the night even with the window shut. What did stand out was the helpfulness of the staff – they were genuinely excellent and willing to assist when needed, which is priceless service in the hospitality industry. While the hotel provides solid amenities such as a flat-screen TV and paid airport shuttle, it's essential to weigh these elements against the overall experience. For travelers seeking a balance of luxury and value, this hotel could fit the bill if you prioritize location and staff attentiveness.
