very good check in service provided by the warm and helpful staff at the hotel reception desk. value added service also provided by the reception desk is the day tour arrangement to Rila Monastery and Provdiv. The unique part of the hotel is full of the history as you could see the ancient roman Amphitheatre at the lobby area.

The hotel really exceeded our expectations! It was our first time in Sofia and the location of the hotel was very near the city center and sightseeing locations. The area around the hotel was wonderful for walking and exploring and there are lots of cafes and bakeries to try. The restaurant in the hotel served amazing meals and the service was exceptional! I would definitely stay here again! The Roman ruins on the basement level are truly unique and well displayed! The spa setting is also unique and exquisite!

“Excellent choice to discover Sofia: a unique boutique hotel built above Roman ruins!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 1 night
Nothing bad to say about this hotel: is simply excellent!!
The hotel is brand new and it is built above amazing Roman ruins that are visible from the hall of the hotel: unique! The rooms are beautiful with a very warm feeling and carefully curated details. Staff is excellent and the 2 restaurants are both worth a stop even if you don't stay at the hotel, especially the one on the rooftop. Excellent choice to explore the center of the Sofia with all major touristic venues at walking distance.

Unfortunately the spa was closed for renovation during our stay but we took a look at the spa center and it was in the basement righ next the old roman amphitheatre. Awesome!
Very central place near the National gallery and the Cathedral. Well trained, polite and helpful staff. They offered us to park the car and bring our luggage in the room. We booked a classic double room but got upgraded to a junior suit upon arrival without extra cost. One of the most amasing things is that it’s build over the ruins of an old roman amphitheatre which they preserved very well and you can see it from the reception. The view over the city was awesome and the breakfast was amasing! There was even a honey wax block from which you cut the honey on your own.
