Staying at the hotel was a wonderful experience overall. The rooms were spacious with beautiful views, but the stay got a bit hot even with the air conditioning on. The service was exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff catering to all our needs. The location allowed us to explore Sofia city center easily, though the dining experience was somewhat cramped and could be improved. The facilities were satisfactory, enhancing our stay. Overall, a great option for a comfortable and convenient stay in Sofia.

Staying at this hotel was a fantastic experience overall. The rooms were large, comfortable, and well-furnished, making it a great space to relax and work. The bathroom was a particular highlight with its separate shower and bath setup. However, the dining options didn't quite meet the expectations set by the hotel's name, and some may find them a bit overpriced. The service, though promised to be top-notch, fell short in some aspects during my stay.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were very big and comfortable with a luxurious modern bathroom, although we encountered a cigarette smell in the bed initially, the staff promptly moved us to another room the next day. The service was outstanding, with every amenity imaginable provided, including a fantastic breakfast buffet and exceptionally friendly and professional staff. However, there were moments when the staff could have been more welcoming and less disinterested. The location was perfect, right in the center of the capital, near the cathedral and all main sites, surrounded by plenty of restaurants and shops. The dining experience offered a variety of high-quality dishes, especially the breakfast, which stood out compared to other 5-star hotels I've visited. Overall, a great choice for staying in the capital of Bulgaria.
