Stay if you like noise
Location itself has nothing significant nearby. About 20 minutes walk to the national palace of culture or 30 min walk to the Vitosha Boulevard shopping area.
Room of decent size with 2 single beds. Aircon was central set at fan mode, which made room very hot during day. Opened the window but it was very noisy even on 14th floor - there was much partying and people screaming and cars honking. Some of that partying even took place at 3 am in the room and corridors -- my colleague called twice to hotel reception at 3 am but to no avail. So the hotel atmosphere leaves much to be desired.
Room has a fridge, but it gets powered off when you take out the room card -- had to throw 2 bottles of fresh milk after they sat at room temp for a whole day.
Breakfast was the same for all 6 days - scrambled eggs, bacon, 2 types of sausages. Coffee from machine. Various breads and pastries available but all cold. Fruit juice machine of variable performance - on 2 occasions my orange juice separated into 2 parts.
Bathroom of decent size. But shower water pressure for warm water was very low.
Cleanliness in general has room for improvement - carpets and lift were quite dirty.
Only positive at this hotel - there is a decent Japanese restaurant Umami which is located with outside seating in the garden with a pond - can see swans, mandarins, and peacocks.

If I had known.
Do not go to the pool; it is dangerous. If you enter, you will not be able to get out; the ladder is made of pipes! The tiles surrounding it are slippery.
If you expect kindness from the employees, change hotels.
Little food. Too many stars, I take away at least two.

WORST POSSIBLE!
This morning, a group of 46 people, of which we are a part, tried to have breakfast in the hotel dining room; at the indicated time, we arrived, the dining room was full, with lines from other groups waiting, and the manager/responsible person was missing.
The solution was to wait more than 1 hour; they did not replenish food, the staff was rude, unprofessional, and unable to react to the situation. Attention agencies and individual travelers, not recommended!!!
The staff was cordial, attentive, and well-disposed.

Did not try the breakfast... but, this hotel gets filled with che@p w0men and m@fi@ men, and is full of smoke inside - absolutely do not recommend! When i tried to complain to the front desk, the service staff was super rude and said the smoke comes from the bar, to go complain there... I did, and it did not help! It was so bad with smoke, that it was like a fog.
