“In my opinion, this is a solid choice for travelers who want to be near Sofia's transport hubs and still experience the city center. The building has character, and I noticed it's near a metro stop, which makes getting around simple. I think the on-site cafe is a real plus, offering that local touch many hotels miss.”
