The hotel rooms, although a bit small, are very adequate and nicely appointed for a solo traveler with an attached bathroom. The noise levels can be a bit high at times but overall offer a perfect size for solo guests.

The hotel is situated right in the heart of Sofia, making it convenient for exploring the city's main attractions and dining spots. Despite the small rooms and slightly warm temperature overnight, the friendly and helpful service truly stood out. However, the dining options might not meet everyone's expectations in terms of pricing and variety.

8.6/10

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.

The hotel's location couldn't be more central, making it perfect for exploring Sofia. It was close to many tourist attractions and within walking distance of the main train and bus stations. Additionally, being next to the president's palace and former communist party headquarters added a unique historical charm to the area.
