One of the best hotels in the downtown area of Sofia. We got upgraded for free to executive room, which was very spacious, clean. The staff was very kind and helpful with all of our requests. Location of the hotel is the best you can dream of, close to everything in the downtown area.

The experience is excellent from check in to check out. From the great service, to the clean and spacious rooms, to the well stocked facilities and pretty much all five star experience is topped up by the view of Votosha mountain out of your balcony. Amazing place for recreation and business in the heart of Sofia.

Buffet breakfasts were good with plenty on offer but probably overpriced at 40 Lev. Not much atmosphere in the bar but ok for a beer and a sandwich.
Large rooms, comfortable beds, good bathrooms with large baths, easy to use Wifi, functional aircon and good information and support from the concierge team - Savva, Dennis and Yorgan. All staff pleasant and helpful.

“Reasonably good and should be better”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 7 nights

First, why out of 3 corner-suites with park views, we were given the fourth one, which did not have garden/park views. Not that it mattered much but still. The explanation was vague and suggested that it was due to the way we booked. So, Booking.com booking did not qualify for the strongly promoted garden views?! The breakfast was average but from such a place one would expect better options and at least some variety. Obviously, it does matter if one stays for longer than 2 - 3 days. The Bulgarian specialties were grossly underrepresented and for a week remained the same. As did the rest of the breakfast. There were very few fruits, which is surprising for this time of the year. In both respects hotels like Crystal Palace and Balkan do do much better. The room had a coffee machine. Supplied were only 2 pods! And we were charged for the pods! Not clear whether for the extra ones (about 4-5) or for the pods anyway as on checked out we were told that the pods were part of the mini bar! We have never encountered such practice anywhere in our travels. Yes, everywhere there is some number left - as a rule 4-6 - but if the guest requires more they are promptly supplied as a part of the service! Not that the cost is anything but considering the five-star level of the hotel and its cost, to charge extra few dollars is risible. Staff need to be more welcoming and less appearing disinterested and often, aloof. After a week, name and room are still asked for. Alright one can’t expect Four Season’s standards of all the staff knowing the guests by name in the first hour of arrival but some recognition? Having said this, we found some staff exceptionally nice, kind and highly professional. We would like specially to mention Nina, who was so good in every respect that we actively sought to be waited by her. Some of the men at breakfast - Bogoslav(?) - were also at the highest professional level.
Central. Our suite was spacious and impeccably clean. Comfortable furniture, including wardrobe facilities. Laundry and the room service were very good. Some of the staff were exceptionally good and professional at a highest level.

The breakfast buffet was a true disappointment. Not at the level of a hotel at that rating. We only did it the first morning. So you can factor that into our feedback. The offerings were very good. But, there was a lack of food. No coffee cups. It was about 20 minutes before the close of the buffet. But, not what you would expect. The staff was excellent. We recommend going out the door to the terrace and walking through the park and going to Coffee Costa on your left. It isn't a buffet but it will do.
We loved the outdoor terrace. The staff was great. The location is wonderful. The rooms are huge. Everyone is extremely helpful. The concierge staff was outstanding.

One small bottle of still water per person, per day complementary. Same for the coffee capsules! I called the spa, never got an answer. The car driver never helped us with the luggages. Very old hotel.
Very close to the city ce
