I was in Bulgaria checking it out for a tour and this was my last night before flying home. I had been thrilled with what I had seen so far in the country and when we arrived here I was very pleased...from the doorman holding the door open to check in, it was pleasant and friendly.

The hotel is built over the ruins of a Roman fighting arena you can visit below the lobby. It is centrally located at the e nd of a quiet dead-end short street. The entrance and lobby are bright and attractive. We splurged on a 7th floor Deluxe Suite and were pleased with our two large rooms although the view over... More

We recently spent 5 nights in sofia as tourists and think this has to be one of the best located hotels for exploring the city, the room was comfortable and the toilet (and a second sink) has its own room separate from the shower. Te shower itself was great and the toiletries are L'Occitane. Our only real complaint about the... More

Sofia does not yet offer an inspiring array of world class hotel options however this one is well located, just a few steps from the old city with its yellow brick road and stunning array of historic buildings.

good food, good service, good location = no complaints! I only wished Bulgarian hotels would learn to include the use of spa in the room rate instead of charging seperately for sauna and more if you use both, sauna and steam bath. But I guess, that' were cultures clash. However, we did appreciate receiving a cup of tea upon entering... More

Very well located close to beautiful area in Sofia, the hotel offers high class, reasonable rates, great spa, good service, good breakfast and huge rooms. Very comfortable hotel in all the respects, only negative thing is that the wireless internet in the rooms sucks, a tiny but annoying factor, but outside of that, hard to find anything to complain.

I'm a regular visitor to this quietly located hotel right in the heart of Sofia. Superbly redesigned around a Roman ampitheatre that was discovered during construction, the preservation of the 2000 year old walls are very impressive.
