Excellent hotel in the heart of Sofia!
Excellent location in the heart of Sofia. Huge, comfortable room, though we couldn't get the temperature right (it was too warm in the room). Very helpful staff, though they don't have irons and ironing boards in the rooms and you need to use the laundry service to get clothes ironed. The plusses definitely outweigh the negatives--I've stayed in several hotels in the same area and this one is among the very best.

Hotel is located in a dead end street and quiet area. The hotel was built on top of ruins and can be viewed in the main lobby. We parked in front of their hotel for free. Staff at front desk and sit floor restaurant were excellent with great food. Gym had only one thread mill and the lots of weight lifting machines. The rooms are clean, good bed, spacious, with big bathroom. Would definitely recommend this place!!! Center of town is nearby!!!

A terrible experience
Hey, We went, my wife was a two year old baby and I booked a King suite suite - so I expected to receive a service accordingly, as I do in other hotels around the world (usually a King suite suite) Unfortunately, the level of cleanliness was very low, the cleaning was very basic, the room was not arranged as usual. 2. Air conditioner did not work at all, the day was warm, 28 degrees, without air conditioning. At the service desk claim that it does not work and be satisfied with opening only windows, at night was full of mosquitoes, we suffered terribly. - By the way air conditioning was in the dining room. So I think it's only a matter of saving the hotel expenses. 3. Low-level safety When you open a window (because there is no air-conditioning), the window height is very low and opens with a very dangerous opening so that a small child can jump away (pictures attached). 4. It is customary to pamper the suite in fruit and water, etc. We did not receive. 5. Breakfast - very basic, something lousy, on a level that has no salads and almost no vegetables, a little cheese and eggs, etc. 6. Elevator - God will keep - very slow and only one lift in the whole hotel. 7. Location, about 700 meters from the boulevard and about 10 minutes walk with baby and cart. 8. To this hotel I will not return at all 9. There is also a bar in first level that make so noise at the night

Archaeological ruins in the bottom of the hotel were unique. Very disappointed with what was supposed to be a 5-star hotel that would/could not turn on the air conditioning because they were still in "winter mode". Recommendation was to open the windows which brought in the outside noise and humidity.
