A superb location in the Doctors Garden area of Sofia. Great cafes and bars in the vicinity but quiet across the road from a well-kept park. Staff are very accommodating. Strongly recommended. Definitely my favorite hotel in Sofia.

Grandeur hotel in very convenient location
It is in the amazing location, in front of a park. In several minutes, you can walk to the cathedral, parliament, the University of Sofia (one block) and many cafes and restaurants. The hotel has the traditional value of a great hotel. Staff are properly attired. Furniture is solid wood. Brass handles in the washroom are all well polished shiny.

Helpful receptions and very central to all places of interests. It’s only 5 minutes walk to Alexander cathedral and 10 minutes away from the buzzing Alexander Boulevard. The hotel is a bit dated and they charged for everything including water bottles. The bar could not offer all the alcoholic drinks offered on their drink menu. However, there are other bars very close by.
