Really enjoyed my very short stay. Welcoming front desk staff, awesome gym, great breakfast and cool decor, like the Japanese Garden AND it’s close to the main part of town - I would really recommend this hotel for a business stay or a romantic getaway.

The staff around the hotel do not acknowledge the guests. House keeping do not come around every day and i had to make a complaint to have my room cleaned, and only got a sorry from the manager. The restaurants and Japanese garden within the property were the best parts of my trip.

Far away from being a 5-star hotel. When you have to call reception 3 times for the room to get cleaned and it finally happens at 9pm, you understand where you are.
3-night trip

2/10 Poor

This was the worst hotel I have been to in years. My room phone 1624 was not working for the whole 5 days I stayed there. I could order anything from the room. If I needed anything from toothpicks to an emergency kit, I had to go downstairs from the 16th floor. I reported it every single day, sometimes twice a day. They wrote it down on papers and never did anything about it, like never. It was the worst trip and stay asides the gym facility and friend staff that bit was terrible considering I paid more than $1k for 5 nights in a junior suite that was broken. The hotel is not worth it at all.
Jamil, 5-night trip

4/10 Fair

i know this hotel many years , in last few years condition of property has gone to very bad one ! maintenance not really existing , very poor service , cleaning room service bad - they simply dont clean anything , asked for wake up call they forgot ... only good thing we were upgraded to bigger room but aircon was not working ...parking extremely expensive
daniel, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Great location and lots of good dining on site. Friendly staff. However the hotel is quite old and the rooms are outdated. I was disappointed by the breakfast. Lots of options but food quality was poor. Definitely expected more from a 5 star hotel.
Magdalena, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The public areas are lavish but service levels for a 5 star international hotel were dreadful. It felt like a load of concessions rather than a joined up business. I was told I couldn’t sit in the bar area by the spa as I had bought my drink at another bar. That’s absurd. A few weeks of training could solve a lot of the problems.
david, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

I have stayed in a huge old furnished apartment smelling and not having heating for a huge price.
Mantescu, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Not bad but it doesn't deserve the price.

Too overpriced. Also a renovation/repair is needed to the hotel's rooms and a couple of the staff to be polite.
Athanasios, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

OMG this hotel is freaking amazing! I love the breakfasts!!! I love the Italian restaurant and the Japanese gardens with ….black swans! For real? Black swans! Then the last day we found another garden next to the Japanese garden….what?! Nine peacocks….are you kidding me? Some were albino peacocks….what a fabulous place. I can’t wait to come back to Bulgaria just to stay here again.
Karen, 6-night trip

No heating, when there is heating, the electricity goes down
RALICA, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Ok nothing special!

First we got scammed by the taxi driver from the airport, he charge triple price from airport to hotel. We told the receptionist about the story, and she said we had to pay 8 Lev for city tax, are you sure about that I said ? And she said yes, a nice lady in check in. Have her a 20 bill, and got 10 back??!! And I said this is not right ? Well she didn’t got any coins?? First told about the taxi driver, and then the receptionist is doing the same thing?? Really bad experience!! Suddenly she had coins! Hotel is good, nothing special - breakfast is ok! Staff is more into checking private phones than doing service, at breakfast. Also the bar tender didn’t have coins, so he got 4 Lev in tips, even a tip is something a guest gives for good service, this guy just took it. The people in charge of this place should provide staff with coins - it gives a bad picture of the whole experience been a guest there!

2/10 Poor

When me and my partner arrived in our room it looked liked it wasnt even clean our bathroom was filthy, the mini bar fridge was broken and also was disgusting, there was wine stains all over the floor as well as that i called reception to get a cleaner to come and clean the fridge and bathroom and they barely even did the job so me and my partner took it upon ourselves to clean the bathroom and fridge, personally think the whole house keeping side was just poor as an overall, in a hotel you usually get new towels we didnt get clean towels and the fact everything had an extra charge to it i personally wouldnt consider this as a 5* hotel and i would never pay the price for an “executive room” like this again, the breakfast was terrible all the food was dry and bland the only thing i could say that was decent was the orange juice.
