“In my opinion, this hotel presents a dichotomy: a property steeped in Sofia's history, evidenced by its 55-year legacy, juxtaposed with aspects that need updating, like in-room WiFi that may require a trip to the lobby. The location is certainly a draw-the hotel places you within easy reach of the Sofia Court House and Garibaldi Square, and the PM Club offers a taste of the city's nightlife.”

fantastic renovated room!
nice balcony great minibar relaxed atmosphere huge area
I stayed in a renovated room that was gorgeous. it included a nice balcony and a minibar. the general atmosphere of the place was great. Everything seemed to work well! the lobby had a huge area suitable for relaxation. Even a few hours of work could be done there.
I found a slight issue, the drinks vending machine had some visible mold. This definitely needs addressing!

Acceptable Location, Dated Room
outdated room poor maintenance
The location was convenient, placing me close to attractions.
The room seemed like a time capsule (from the 70s maybe). The bathroom looked equally outdated, and maintenance seemed to be lacking. I noticed mold in the bathroom. I'm not sure how this hotel is still operating like this.

Mixed feelings about this hotel
outdated furniture unclean bathroom
The location of the hotel was definitely central. It was easy to reach many restaurants.
The room I booked was not renovated. It was outdated. The furniture looked very worn, and the bathroom was quite unclean. I found hairs in the bed, A HUGE disappointment. The price I paid felt excessive, considering the room's subpar condition and visible neglect.

Acceptable stay, some drawbacks
perfect location great view nice decoration old linen unclean bathroom dusty room
The location worked perfectly to visit the city. I found many restaurants nearby. The room included a big window with great views! The rooms were nicely decorated.
The bed linen looked old. I found it horrible. The bathroom was not very clean, and we had to clean the teacups. The room seemed dusty, especially on the shelf above the bed.
