The hotel is situated right in the heart of Sofia, making it convenient for exploring the city's main attractions and dining spots.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of comfort and convenience. The room was cozy and quiet, but the bed was a bit small and soft for two people. The cleanliness was top-notch, and the mini bar was well-stocked. The sauna was a nice touch, adding to the overall relaxation experience. However, the carpet on the floor was not as clean as I would have liked.
