I had a mixed experience at this hotel, as the location was convenient for my needs and the rooms were nice and spacious, but the service staff left a lot to be desired. The dining options were particularly disappointing, especially for breakfast, which I thought could have been much better. Overall, it's a good spot if you need a decent place to stay, but I'd suggest looking elsewhere for meals.

Our stay in Bulgaria was delightful, especially because of the hotel's stunning decor that felt like a movie set, complete with chandeliers and murals. The rooms were clean and had great vibes. The staff was super friendly and helped us even at midnight. On the downside, the dining experience was quite basic and didn't meet our expectations, but the breakfast was solid. Overall, the value for money is good, and we'll definitely be back next time we're in Bulgaria.
