Excellent hotel, fantastic room with a view of Sofia! Great breakfast and and good location, close to everything. Only thing that let us down is that spa access was not included… which was not clear at the point of booking. Hotel guests should not have to pay €40 per person for 2 hours access, that is outrageous. The guest relations lady was fantastic and extremely helpful
