+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Strong staff ratings — Guests consistently highlight the friendly, welcoming, and accommodating team, with a staff rating of 9.0 — the hotel’s highest score.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, which may be a drawback for travellers with animals.
  • Limited room types — With a single listed room category (Deluxe Double), options are limited for larger groups or those seeking different configurations.
  • No air conditioning in all rooms — While guests mention air-conditioned rooms in reviews and some amenities, the room-specific amenities for the Deluxe Double do not list air conditioning — so it may not be universal.
  • Distance from city centre — The hotel is on the outskirts, roughly 5 minutes’ drive to Boyana Waterfall but a bit further from central Sofia; a car is recommended for easy access.
