This is by far the best hotel in Sofia. It is very central, clean and good service. I did notice the doorman or bellman does not open the door for you if if he is right there.

Great location
2-night trip

10/10

Very friendly and professional front-desk. Check-in was easy (6pm on a Friday). A nice, comfortable and clean hotel. I like the modern upgrades of this vintage hotel. Location is at the center of town, steps away from the Metro station, and walking distance to the sights.
4-night trip

8/10

Overall we had a comfortable 4-night stay, there were a few issues but the staff mostly found solutions. The location is perfect, 2-5min wall to Serdika station, Vitosha Blvd and not much longer to other sites. The room was too hot and AC couldn’t be changed from 25deg so we had to open the window. Checkin was late so they gave us a better room. There was a dirty cup left in the room, shower gel was empty & phone wasn’t working which they resolved quickly.
