    welcoming staff
    cleanliness issues

    The hotel was quite impressive at first glance, but

    the issues we encountered, such as cleanliness and maintenance, really detracted from our experience. The staff were welcoming, but the reception service felt overworked and could use improvement. Overall, it had potential but left us feeling dissatisfied.

    terrace view
    beautiful garden
    bathroom issues
    cleanliness concerns

    I spent a night at a place that had a lovely terrace. From there, I could see a beautiful garden where peacocks roamed freely. It was nice to experience a mix of nature and luxury at the same time.

    The bathroom needed attention. The shower didn't drain well, and the overall cleanliness was not up to par for the price.

    stunning lobby
    exquisite dining
    service hiccups
    dated decor

    Why didn't I try this sooner?

    What a delightful surprise! The breathtaking lobby and stunning interior decor by a Japanese designer left me in awe. Dining options were exquisite, particularly the hidden gems among the on-site restaurants. My room was well-equipped, boasting a wonderful view. Definitely a treasure, just be ready for some service hiccups along the way!

    japanese garden
    spacious junior suite
    family-friendly amenities
    limited pool area

    The hotel's amenities truly impressed us, especially the outdoor space where our kids could play. We loved visiting the stunning Japanese garden and enjoying relaxing moments at the café. The spacious junior suite made our family stay with four young ones very comfortable.

    In my wife's opinion, the kids wanted a bigger pool area dedicated to families. It would be great if they had more family-friendly activities on-site to keep everyone entertained.

    great amenities
    convenient location
    exceeded expectations
    flawed cooling
    maintenance issue

    I recently stayed for 3 nights and found the hotel quite excellent. The amenities were great and the location was really convenient, just a metro ride away from the city center. My experience exceeded my expectations compared to my previous stay in sofia.

    the air conditioning didn't work properly.

    fine lobby
    serene garden

    Luxurious, luxurious, luxurious.

    I loved the fine lobby adorned with extravagant decor that made a fabulous first impression. The garden area was such a serene escape, with ducks swimming peacefully in ponds, perfect for a relaxing stroll. The breakfast buffet was a feast for the senses, offering a good spread that catered to every craving!

    scenic terrace
    impressive garden
    unique charm
    poor maintenance

    The hotel features a beautifully designed terrace where guests can take in the scenic views while relaxing. An impressive garden area surrounds the hotel, providing a taste of nature amidst the urban setting.

    The room’s air conditioning struggled to keep up, making for an uncomfortably warm stay despite outdoor temperatures being chillier. The bathroom had a distinct odor, and the decor felt outdated, lacking any fresh appeal. Accessing the pool required navigating a long, frigid corridor, which made the experience less enjoyable post-swim. On numerous occasions, towels were completely unavailable at the pool, and a mandatory swimming cap added an unnecessary hassle for a facility meant for relaxation. Keep in mind the breakfast spread was underwhelming, with stale bread and a lack of basic attention to service that you would expect in a luxury environment.
