The only good thing about this place is the location.
It’s just so old and cheap. The bathroom was the worst part - old, severely worn out, leaking…
8.0
The renovated parts of the hotel are fairly nice.
Still needs to do some work to fully complete their renovation. The renovated rooms perhaps weren’t renovated with wear and tear in mind. They are already breaking down and scuffed. On day I asked for cleaning. All that was done was trash pickup and towel change. No making the bed or cleaning. Also, two very hard pillows is quite poor.

Exelente ubicacion en pleno centro de Sofia . A la vuelta de Serdica y tambien de la calle peatonal Vitosha. y a pocos minutos caminando de la catedral de Alexander Nevski.
La habitacion que nos dieron fue en un 6 piso con balcon con vistas a la ciudad y de fondo la montana. Muy bien decorada.
En los pasillos del hotel se escucha musica tranquila y relajante... Muy lindo. La gente de la recepcion y del comedor super amable y siempre nos saludaban con una sonrisa.
La heladera (Minibar) en la habitacion es muy pequena y no enfria bien

The property is located in the ideal center of the city; there is no better location. However, the most valuable asset is the staff working there. The folks at the reception, Kaloyan, the director of the establishment, is the 7-star team.
Location, location and the staff providing services like I am at Bruje Arabia in Dubai, or Wynn LV.

La camera che ci è stata data era bellissima, pulita, con una vista spettacolare e un bagno molto bello.
Lo staff gentilissimo ci ha permesso di effettuare il check in anticipato e check out in ritardo gratuitamente.

Very friendly reception staff who were very efficient. Location is fantastic for all tourist sites and Metro. Comfortable rooms
We stayed in a renovated Queen room on 7th floor with balcony facing the front square which has a good view across city, but there is loud music from restaurant/ bar under the hotel late at night. We moved to a rear room which although smaller and no balcony was peaceful.

The new rooms are in very good condition.
I've ordered a cheap room. But the old ones aren't in good condition. Luck to had an opportunity to upgrade the booking and to stay in new rooms

The hotel is in a great location: within the city center, great restos and shops around, and the monuments are walking distance from the hotel.
The room: I booked one of the renovated rooms, and i must say, I love it. It is modern, chic, and well decorated. Highlight was I had a great view of the National Assembly (+other monuments) and the Bulgarian mountains. It is cleaned daily and they do a good job. The room is complete with everything you need, and they are of high quality.
There were thunderstorms during one day when I visited the city, good thing the TV was equipped with the Netflix app, so staycation all day ☺️
Lastly, the staff are friendly and accommodating. Always smiling and ready to help 💕
The WiFi was fast but sometimes get lost in some parts of the room (my room was at the 8th floor), but it’s still good!

Excellent location. Great big rooms. Quiet environment. Heart of city centre.
Rooms are too old needs to renovate, and because of that, the price is little bit higher.

Liked the style of the room and bathroom and the view
No complimentary water, no umbrella for quests, internet was slow, shower had extremely terrible pressure... and the pillow was hard.. I also like when I have extra pillows.

Great location, breathtaking view and the renovated rooms are just amazing
There is almost no WiFi signal on the 8th floor which is a shame :) and the water pressure in the shower was quite bad for some reason.
