We recently spent 5 nights in sofia as tourists and think this has to be one of the best located hotels for exploring the city, the room was comfortable and the toilet (and a second sink) has its own room separate from the shower. Te shower itself was great and the toiletries are L'Occitane. Our only real complaint about the... More

Sofia does not yet offer an inspiring array of world class hotel options however this one is well located, just a few steps from the old city with its yellow brick road and stunning array of historic buildings. Staff here speak English, are helpful and can offer useful insights for what to see and do around Sofia. Rooms lack charm... More

good food, good service, good location = no complaints! I only wished Bulgarian hotels would learn to include the use of spa in the room rate instead of charging seperately for sauna and more if you use both, sauna and steam bath. But I guess, that' were cultures clash. However, we did appreciate receiving a cup of tea upon entering... More

Aparently the internet has improver since my last stay. Although I have had a long e-mail correspondance with the management, they have decided to continue serving luke warm... More

Very well located close to beautiful area in Sofia, the hotel offers high class, reasonable rates, great spa, good service, good breakfast and huge rooms. Very comfortable hotel in all the respects, only negative thing is that the wireless internet in the rooms sucks, a tiny but annoying factor, but outside of that, hard to find anything to complain.

This is a nice hotel, rooms OK and quite a good size, no bath but really good shower. Bed fine and clean. No view from window - just looked at Office block. Buffet breakfast was very good. Lovely to be over the Roman ruins - it is beautifully done. The hotel location is excellent. You can climb a series of... More

I'm a regular visitor to this quietly located hotel right in the heart of Sofia. Superbly redesigned around a Roman ampitheatre that was discovered during construction, the preservation of the 2000 year old walls are very impressive. The hotel has its little idiosyncracies - the furniture in the bedrooms and the decor are sombre - but the deluxe suites (that... More

Just stopped for one night this time in Sofia. Our room, No 210 was very tastefully furnished, not like the previous reviewers and we paid just £66. Not the biggest of rooms but an OK size. No bath though, but a lovely big shower. No tea making facilities though, much to my wifes distain, but free WiFi. I had a... More

There are a few things really going for this hotel: its location is smack in the town center and it is a little secluded (i.e., quiet). The authentic ancient Roman ruins that have been well integrated within its lobby are a distinction hard to beat. It offers good breakfast buffet selection and the rooms are equipped with nice and modern... More

Spent 2 nights in Sofia and this brilliant hotel. Sofia was a wonderful city to visit, with really well priced food. We went in the middle of winter, with a foot of snow on the ground. After trudging off of the main road we came to our hotel, and were blown away. Really nice entrance, helpful staff carried our bags,... More
