Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Sense Hotel Sofia is often praised for its modern and chic design, along with spacious and stunning rooms. Many guests recommend asking for a room overlooking the Patriarchal Cathedral of St Alexander Nevsky. The rooftop bar is a highlight, offering a wonderful city view, and the breakfast, served on the 9th floor, can be enjoyed with a skyline vista, although some found the soundproofing wasn't ideal, noticing street noise. The wellness center, including a gym, pool, sauna, and steam room, exceeded expectations for many.
