7.8/10

I was thrilled to discover that the rooms became non-smoking starting January 1st, 2011, which was fantastic news for me as a non-smoker. The hotel is centrally located, making it convenient to explore Sofia by foot. However, the dining options were unsatisfactory with additional payments required, and the smell of cigarettes in the rooms was a downside.

The hotel was nice overall, although the rooms were a bit dim and could use more effective air conditioning. The service was pleasant with some room for improvement in guest appreciation. The location was good, being close to downtown Sofia and public transport, but management decisions impacted the experience. The dining experience was mixed, offering a variety of food but being somewhat disappointing. Overall, a decent stay with room for enhancement.

The hotel has large rooms for a city center location and is well situated, but unfortunately, they have a hard smell and are noisy due to the main street traffic. The rooms smelled of stale smoke and cheap air freshener.

The service is among the best I have encountered during my travels. The staff organizes wake-up calls, shuttles, and even made me a small breakfast to take away.
