Book another hotel
Don’t stay there!!! Bar closed from 11pm -12 noon. No room service after 9pm Waiting staff sat at restaurant tables smoking right up until the second it opens at noon. And refused to let us in at 11.55 am because all 8 staff were sat smoking. Rooms badly need upgrading. Sanitary ware falling off the walls. Balcony was a trip hazard. We booked the hotel because of the rooftop bar. A week before we arrived they emailed to say it would be closed. Joke

Won't be my first choice again
Hotel was in a perfect location but! 30Euro per night just for parking fee was just a rip off. Breakfast was kind of weak for a luxury hotel. Unsufficent will be a better term. Room Cleaners and door man were really kind and lovely persons. But hotel was just OK.

Tytus, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Sense hotel Sofia, while its location is undeniably convenient—just a short walk from many of the city’s major attractions—the overall experience didn’t quite meet my expectations. The proximity to key sites made it easy to explore without needing transportation, which was a definite plus. However, I was disappointed with the room and service standards. The room felt a bit outdated and lacked the comfort I was hoping for. Additionally, the service seemed somewhat inattentive, and certain requests took longer to fulfill than expected. While the location is fantastic for tourists, I believe there’s room for improvement in terms of the hotel’s accommodation and service quality.

Very nice hotel but beware of houskeeping
Very cool adn cpmfortable boutique hotel in a an excellent downtown location. Amazing rooftoop restaurant and bar with some of teh best views in town and an excellent cusine. I would have given the full marks for service except for teh fact that once again a cleaning lady from housekeeping stormed into teh room catching me in my birthday suit, seems to be a common theam in many hotels.

An excellent hotel. Definitely 5 star service. Great room with a balcony in a central location. Food was good and cocktails were excellent in the ground floor restaurant. The rooftop bar had a lovely view, book ahead for a table as it was full most nights in our stay.
