“Located in Sofia's heart, the hotel is ideal for exploring local culture and landmarks. Conference facilities and an airport shuttle cater to business needs, while the whisky bar and central location appeal to leisure travelers. I think the breakfast quality should be more consistent and the WiFi connectivity improved to ensure a seamless stay.”
