That is the second time we stay in this property. It is small family run hotel with a reasonable price and proper facilities. The owner is quite friendly and made our check in as soon smooth as possible. I have chosen this place not just because its price and the conditions of the facility but because Boyana is my preferred district in Sofia, too. You can easily park your car right in front of the hotel or to the property owned parking right behind the hotel, you walk to Boyana Church which is a World Heritage site and enjoy the frsh and crisp mountain air. Besides, if you have time, you can easily have a walk both in the Vitosha park and on the top of Vitosha mountain which offers you a great view of the city of Sofia. Lastly, you can drive anywhere in the city in less than 30 minutes and there are countless numbers of restaurants serving both local and international cuisine.
