“Sense Hotel Sofia presents a mixed bag; while the rooftop bar and Jintu Asian restaurant impress, some rooms, particularly those on lower floors, seem less inspiring. The spa and pool area offer relaxation, though attention to detail in the steam sauna could elevate the experience. Ultimately, I'm left questioning whether the overall experience justifies the premium price point.”
