    Comfortable bed and quiet atmosphere. Tasty pasta dish in the restaurant.

    Room in poor condition with dusty furniture, stained lampshade, and scuffed walls. Lack of customer service and disinterested check-in staff.

    The hotel is located in a very convenient area, close to shopping areas and within walking distance of various sites and restaurants. The free transfer to-and-from the airport was a great advantage and made our arrival and departure hassle-free. The room was comfortable and spacious, with a nice view of the city. The bathroom was clean and the service provided by the hotel staff was prompt and attentive. The breakfast offered a good selection and the quality of the food was satisfactory. the facilities and advantages of the room made our stay enjoyable.

    The coffee provided at breakfast was of poor quality and not up to par with the rest of the offerings.

    My recent stay at Sofia Balkan Palace was a delightful experience. The location was perfect, right in the heart of the city, allowing me to easily explore all the famous attractions within a short walk. The historic feel of the facility added a unique charm to my stay. During my time there, I had the chance to enjoy the breakfast, which was delicious and offered a good variety of options. The bellboy was very attentive and friendly, ensuring that my needs were met throughout my stay. I had a wonderful time at Sofia Balkan Palace and would highly recommend it to others.

    Centrally located in the heart of the city, the hotel offers a prime position for exploring the vibrant city. Situated in front of the square, it provides easy access to most attractions and allows guests to explore Central Sofia by foot. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with upgraded options available that offer stunning views of the main square. The staff are friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant stay. The breakfast buffet is exceptional, offering a wide variety of local and international dishes.

    It seems that the hotel can sometimes be noisy due to outside parties and ongoing construction.

    The exclusive amenities made our stay here luxurious and satisfying. The spacious room had comfortable bedding and beautiful decor. The Spa centre was phenomenal. The staff was exceptional, catering to our every need. The continental breakfast was delicious, with a variety of options. The Lobby bar was a great place to unwind.

    There was not a restaurant within the hotel. Although the location was convenient for exploring the city, the neighborhood was not the best.

    Stepping into this luxurious hotel feels like being transported to another era. The staff provides exceptional service and fulfills every request, from massages at the spa to delicious meals in the restaurant. The exclusive amenities provide a truly luxurious experience, with a continental breakfast that satisfies any taste, and a well-equipped bar/lounge area for relaxation.

    A minor issue with the air conditioning. Although it wasn't always able to keep the room cool, opening the windows provided enough relief.
