Great location, nice bars and close to NDK. Hotel is set in the olden days (old clocks with different time zones) which has its charm but not for business purposes (not enough plugs, central heating so room was too hot). Friendly staff at reception. Breakfast with nescafé and my minibar was dirty. Stayed 3 days, room never got cleaned.

OK, if you just wanna spent 1 or 2 nights is fine. Reminds me of the 80's hotels that we see in the movies. Definately not a 4* but a 3*. Staff is friendly and helpful.
Bathroom needs renovation and the room needs noice isolation (I could hear the next door couple shouting)
Not really impressed!

Old world elegance with decor. Room and bathroom fine, though Staybridge request walk in shower ( if they have) . Breakfast was very good. A bit of a walk to attractions ( cathedral mosque etc) but liked a couple of local restaurants- more authentic.

One of the worst hotels i stayed. The first day i arrived at 19:45 and there was a man at the reception who didnt speak English, a sign on the desk said that the reception was opened until 20:00 but probably they left. The room was ok but the tv wasnt working and the ac was noisy and in the toilet run water suddenly. The windows didnt have thick curtains so the neighbors could see you. So i spent the first night in dark and with no tv,
Next day, and after my complains to Expedia, they changed my room and they gave me a suite (as they said) . On the third day i noticed that the maid didnt clean my room but i didnt say anything so as not to offend her. But on the fourth day they didnt clean my room so i had neither clean towels nor soap or shampoo. I asked the reception why this and another man (who also didnt speak english well) told me that when you stay more that 3 days they dont clean the room every day. In expedia by the way it is written that they have daily housekeeping. After my complain they cleaned my room but again they didnt put any soap so i had to use one small bottle for 3 days!!! in my room there were ants. Also they say that they have a restaurant until 24:00 but their restaurant after breakfast was closed. As far as safety, it was quite strange situation because there was a man (suppose to be security) sitting out of hotel smoking or drinking and anyone could easily get in the hotel. If it was a MOTEL it could be ok BUT A 4 STAR HOTEL? NO WAY!!!!!!!!

Nice hotel in a good location, close to the city center and a metro station from the airport. Tasty breakfasts, comfortable beds. The only shortcoming was a bathroom, which was a little bit outdated.

Great location! Staffs are very helpful.
4.0 / 10.0
Overall the staff was nice.
One issue was that the check in took some time since my reservation wasn't prepared properly.
A slightly annoying part was that I could hear the water draining and refilling of the bathroom above room.
Also it had some malfunction, so it kept filling and draining for 20 minutes at night.
A minor issue but worth knowing if you plan on getting the breakfast option - they didn't have any alternative milk, only regular.

The hotel is in a very good location, but it needs improvements. Bedroom was fine, i had to figure out where to plug the minifridge, i found several hair in and around the buffet breakfast... and not everyone speaks english. It needs improvement.

The AC didn't cool properly, it was a very dated room and equipmen.
The front desk staff wouldn't do any extra effort to accommodate guest check in/out becase they didn't want to rearrange pre-arranged room blocks.
At the end of the stay the water was shut off and no options were provided to guests.

The room was comfortable, clean and had all I needed. The only observation I have is that there were no tea/coffee making facilities, which would have been very welcome as I had to work from the room on evening ls.

On the plus side very good service from friendly staff, great location, comfortable spacious room with a bathtub in the bathroom (some also have a terrace),and parking space.
On the lower side the parking is rather small so you might not get space, best to reserve in advance.

Hotel was very clean and quiet. The breakfast was large and hearty. The hotel personnel went out of their way for me. I ate at local restaurants both nights and the food was superb and cheap. All the central sites of Sofia were within walking distance of the hotel. Its a 5-minute walk to a Metro station that connects to the airport or to the central train station. Definitely give this hotel a chance when you visit Sofia.

Stayed for business in the centre of Sofia. The location was ideal just 10 minute walk to all of the local nightlife. Gym in hotel that apparently only I knew about, for my one week stay I am sure nobody else used this. I would stay again. thanks
