My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The suite upgrade at no extra cost was a nice surprise, but the dusty room and early morning noise from the reception desk were a letdown. The service was unprofessional, with indifference towards maintenance issues. The central location was convenient, with easy access to transportation and local attractions. Despite the lackluster service, the dining options with fresh fruit were a highlight. The hotel facilities were adequate, but there is room for improvement in cleanliness and service quality.

The hotel's location is good but requires a 10-minute walk to the center. It offers easy access to Sofia Tower Mall and the city center, but the street it's on might not be the most inspiring. Parking can be difficult due to the busy area.

The dining options were average at best, not up to par for a 5-star hotel. The continental breakfast was fine, albeit limited. Only having two sections of hot dishes felt underwhelming for such a property.
