10/10 stay in Sofia
Pros:

We loved our stay. From the beginning, it was a warm welcome and check-in experience. As we entered our room, we were greeted with a welcome note and bottles of sparkling and still water. The air conditioning was on and the room was beautifully presented. We appreciated what was provided in the bathroom: a shaving kit, cotton pads and swabs, shower caps, and much more. Breakfast was always on time, and a lot of effort was put in to make it such a memorable experience.

The hotel is in a cool part of the city, surrounded by amazing restaurants and cafes. There's a nice wine shop on the corner and a great buzz around the area. We also loved the Flip Flop bar and restaurant next door. The hotel is about a 20-minute walk to all the landmarks, but this was great because it didn't feel touristy and you get to mingle with the locals.

I would highly recommend this hotel to friends visiting Sofia.

Cons:

10/10

Hotel ok, wäre besser, wenn Rezeption netter und weniger überheblich wäre.
Pros:

Tolle Lage

Cons:

Die Rezeptionistin ist sehr unhöflich, überheblich und wenig hilfsbereit- unprofessionell . Schade eigentlich, da das Hotel grundsätzlich sehr nett wäre. Der Kollege vom Frühstück der Früh hingegen ist sehr hilfsbereit und sehr nett.

Pros:

Breakfast is tailored to each guest. You select your items and time slot from the menu in advance, and it can be delivered to your room on request. On one occasion, I had to leave earlier than the first available breakfast slot, so the staff kindly prepared sandwiches ahead of time for me to take along. A lovely, thoughtful touch.

Pros:

The area is lovely, staff is nice enough and helpful, the room was huge, tidy and clean. Beautiful place, though I don't feel it's necessarily worth the money.

Cons:

Breakfast is in a bag delivered to your room 7:30-8:00: croissant, bircher muesli, a banana or apple and orange juice. I asked for a banana; got an apple, and water in stead of juice. Bircher muesli is an Activia yoghurt. Breakfast is a bit of a joke overall, and I saw that a la carte is about 17EUR, but I wasn't given an option - perhaps it wasn't available.

Anything but ordinary Super Boutique Hotel
Pros:

Location, room, which is more an apartment without kitchen. Simply perfect!
Beautifully designed, extremely comfortable, 5 star hotel amenities,great location,close to the center,a lot of excellent restaurants and caffes around, quiet street, parks around ,beautiful area.
I will say that this place is really 5 star Super Boutique Hotel.

Cons:

No comments about breakfast. Completely out of keeping with the hotel.
There are few places 2 -3 min by walk with excellent choises for breakfast and also lunch and dinner. Fresh, tasty,with impeccable service
