Sofia and related destinations

Beneath the golden domes of Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Sofia reveals itself as a city where Roman ruins peek between communist blocks and stylish cafes. The yellow-brick lanes of Vitoshka Boulevard offer prime people-watching while sipping Bulgaria's potent coffee. At the Central Mineral Baths, admire the ornate facade before heading to nearby hot springs where locals have soaked for centuries. The Ivan Vazov National Theatre stands regally amid Borisova Gradina Park's leafy paths. Don't miss the ancient Serdica ruins beneath modern streets, casually incorporated into subway stations as if finding 2000-year-old mosaics during your commute is perfectly normal.

"The stay was excellent! Staff were very helpful, letting us store luggage there before and after our stay and calling us a taxi when we needed it at the end of our stay. The generous 12 noon check-out time was great. The room was very clean and all new. The temperature was very comfortable. Beds were comfortable and allowed for great sleep. I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Sofia - the location was perfect."

"Beautiful hotel and great location. The gym was pathetic though and the housecleaning staff would either knock on the door at 9am and one morning 10. I asked them to come back at 11 and they never cleaned the room until repeatedly asking both them and the front desk. The room was finally cleaned around 4:15 in the afternoon. I would have expected more from this hotel."

"Fantastic 5 star hotel! Great staff and super clean and large room. Awesome location right on Vitosha Blvd. Parking was easy but a tad expensive ($30 Euro per night). One thing to note - not all rooms have access to the pool, which is a wonderful perk. We had to pay an extra $80 Euro to use pool complex : ( The top floor bar is spectacular - definitely go! All in all a great hotel!"
