“Give it a try”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2007
3
people found this review helpful

Stayed here with my wife for a week.
Good central location, taxi into center 2 lv.
It is in one of the most exclusive areas of sofia, but you may find this hard to belive if you have not been here before.
Sofia is being modernised and this hotel is well done.
Rooms are a good size and are well appointed.
The restaurant is very cheap but very good.
Most of the staff are freindly but the "Bulgarian shrug" can become very annoying if you are not used to it if you have a problem.

“Excellent value for money”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 November 2007

people found this review helpful

I’ve stayed here for two nights in one of their de luxe rooms. First of all, the room was great for that price level (around 80 euros): clean, very spacious, new furniture, bathroom with jacuzzi, really nice illumination options (although I sometimes got confused by all the switches). Second, the staff was very amiable. I also appreciated
the fact they let me check in at 5 AM, when I arrived, instead of the
normal 12 AM. The hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood, about 5 to 10 minutes by taxi from city center. I didn’t eat in their restaurant, therefore no comments on that.

“High tech room and they make sure you'll not miss breakfast”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 March 2007

If you can get over the bright red bedspread, it's a super room with jacuzi and 30 or so switches for a smallish room. Double doors ensure
you privacy. I had to leave the hotel about 5 am, the management made
me pack breakfast and gave me the evening before so that I won't miss
the breakfast. Just don't forget to press the button before leaving the room, otherwise you won't be able to open the door!!!

  • Liked — The idea of packing breakfast for guest who has to leave early is very considerate
  • Disliked — Even though located not far but still not in thet centre
