Art lovers hotel

The distinctiveness of Angel is the art work displayed throughout the hotel. In my brief stay I had the chance to enjoy some of the paintings and sculptures. There a casino onsite where smoking is clearly permitted. The breakfast is ample both in choice and quantity. Good location.

Amazing Hotel, highly recommended

The room was large, comfortable, very modern and truly luxurious. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The center of the city is in walking distance. Breakfast was excellent with a big variety of bakery and fruits. I really enjoyed the artwork in the hotel. Everything looks very classy. Thank you!

Great! Nice rooms, but No pool access

Great location. Had a huge room, was very nicely done, nice breakfast. Parking is 10 euro. Only complaint is pool is not part of hotel and if you want to use it is very expensive. So why have photos and promote having a pool? And why email me aaying i have access to pool, I dont!

Probably won't stay there again

The hotel is rather plush and comfortable. There are lots of sculptures scattered about the public areas which is nice. Breakfast was basic but adequate. Parking in the hotel car park is charged at 10 lev per day. Our shower door leaked. There was pornography on the TV the moment I turned it on and disturbingly even when I changed channels the pornography came back when I left the tv unattended. The sauna and swimming pool are charged extra and expensive and a swimming cap is mandatory.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Picked this hotel as it was a bit quirkier than others that are more centrally based and part of chains. Room was good and spacious. AC worked like a dream and was easily controllable from within the room. Wifi was solid and worked EVERYWHERE in the hotel. Food and drinks at the rooftop restaurant were very good (although the view is not as described on the website). Breakfast was limited but was enough and did the job. All staff, including the cleaners and those working the breakfast area were very nice. Reception staff were excellent. Pool area was good. Had an issue with neighbouring guests but was handled professionally by reception staff. Hotel website says there is 'zero tolerance' and a 'one warning' approach, but this family had multiple complaints about them over the course of the week from multiple guests but were allowed to stay. Snack options (vending machine perhaps) would be good as the hotel bar was closed the whole time we were there (there is a small 24 hour shop just over the road). Pool flooring area is EXTREMELY slippery when wet and mandatory swimming caps is a silly rule they enforce. Also, a lot of guests were intent on just doing lengths in the pool, so there is limited time to just chill in the pool (although we found it to be fairly quiet in the afternoons).

Worth the money but that's it

Definitely not clean enough, the floor in the bathroom was dirty, the sheets has strange smell, the keyboard was broken and etc. It doesn't felt like 5* hotel, although the room itself was very big and has a king size bed. The location is also good, 10-15 minutes from Vitosha street. The staff was nice and very friendly.

Stinks of smoke

Generally disappointing. All communal areas of hotel stink of smoke, as soon as you enter the lobby this hits you and is really quite unpleasant. Some staff on reception very helpful other staff such as in restaurant really not! Bar closed when we wanted a drink one night (didn’t try again so not sure if always the case) so advised to go to restaurant and staff sat on phones and refused to serve a beer. Beds a bit hard but otherwise rooms ok although only a couple of plugs in entire room. 5 star restaurant but no open bar and stinks of smoke, will go elsewhere next time
