“charming”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 October 2011

person found this review helpful

this is a really wonderful place as central as needed so ease of sight seeing is perfect.Hotel staff all very pleasant and all speak english without a problem.Rooms spacious and nicely furnished hot water was not excessive but adequate for a quick shower.Breakfast also the usual eastern european continental with a reasonable choice of everything to start the day must say the coffee was excellant and as much as you wanted.The winter garden bar was well stocked with drinks and the service second to none and for those who wanted it was a smoking enviroment which is pleasing to see there is a notice saying this before you entered so it wasn't a shock to the anti smoking brigade,the rest of the hotel is basically non smoking so they cater for all.We had room service several times and the quality service and value is very good.Overall this is a good choice 3 star hotel and we would visit again .

“Gloria (not so) Palace”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 October 2010

person found this review helpful

Stayed there one night only but that was enough. No hot water. No heating except that one from air conditioning (which is noisy). Paid almost 60 Euro (prices can be as high as 80) and that was no fun at all. Use it only as a last resort...

“Excellent hotel with a corridor of smoke free rooms”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 June 2009

I had heard that it is hard to get smoke free rooms in Sofia. But when I stepped out of the lift to go to my room I was pleased to see a notice that said it was a smoke-free corridor and there was no smell of cigarettes in the corridor or my room.

The staff were very friendly and helpful and spoke English. The breakfast were good, real orange juice and apricot juice, croissants, three varieties of cereal, yoghurts, a small selection of cooked breakfast items, cheese and cold meats. The only complaint was that the sliced bread was a bit dried out.

The room was a good size and the air conditioning unit very quiet. The water had to be run for some time before it was hot, but it did get there, you just needed patience and not think about how much water you were wasting.

The hotel is in an excellent location in the centre of Bulgaria.

“A very good value hotel in an excellent location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 May 2009

I spent only one night in this hotel but found it to be very good. The location is excellent, and although it is an old building it has been refurbished to a very good standard. The staff I came across were charming and helpful, including waking me early and helping me out to the taxi they had arranged for me.
My room was large, comfortable and well equipped.
