The hotel is 25 minutes away from the airport. This is one subway train away (around 8 stops)and cost under £1 for the journey! The stop is Opalchenska. The hotel itself is modern,yet quirky. Interesting art work and well decorated. The staff are extremely helpful. We had assistance from Mila,who was so lovely. She perfect in her role. Very friendly,yet professional. The young, handsome guy that was also on reception was equally helpful and considerate. The breakfast was plentiful and offered a lot of choice. We also went to the restaurant,which was actually very fancy.

Beautiful huge apartment with a fabulous design and decors. Excellent wifi and an exeptionally good and varied breakfast, Guarded parking for a reasonable price. Full honour to the manager that did our checkin in a professional, respectable and very kind way. The hotel has a fantastic art collection displayed in all rooms and public areas. Soundisolated rooms.

We have stayed at Hotel Anel previously and I was keen to return. By far the best thing about this hotel is the size and cleanliness of the rooms. The rooms are extremely large, comfortable, spotlessly clean and contain everything you would want, including jacuzzi baths, radios, the biggest bed you’ll ever sleep in, and blackout curtains. If you are lucky you’ll get a large balcony overlooking the front street. The pool is nice and although we didn’t use it the gym looks well equipped. The hotel is extremely well located a few minute walk from the center of Sofia.

I have booked the business class room so it was very big and really nice. The breakfast was amazing. The locación also very near the center. The hotel has very beautiful decoration with statues and gallery ,also with restaurant, bar and casino inside.

The room , a business one, was enormous and very comfortable. The bathroom looked dated with lots of marble but had a very deep bath and a pretty good shower. There was a tv with some English channels and a kettle . The mini bar was well stocked but as normal the items were relatively highly priced and we did not use it. Tea was replenished but not the pods for the coffee machine. We did have some problems with heat control and at times the room became very hot. Breakfast was outstanding though staffing seemed to be an issue. On the first day when we were the only people dining 3 people were supervising the 1 waitress. On the last day when the room was packed the waitress was on her own with no help. That also meant she felt to address the rather peculiar issue of a guest whoo thought it was ok to come down in his pajamas! Foodwise there was a reasonable hot selection ,lots of cold meats and smoked fish with the largest variety of cheeses I have ever seen in a restaurant. There was also a wide variety of cakes, breads, fresh and dried fruit as well a cereals and yogurts. The bar was reasonably priced but had a sign on it saying it was closed even when it was open. The location was fine. A short walk to the centre and a couple of minutes to the metro. In all it was brilliant value for money.

Based on recent reviews, I was sceptical about choosing Hotel Anel, but when we arrived at the location, we found a parking spot and checked into an apartment, which was very beautiful, very spacious, and at an excellent price for a European capital. The room had high-quality towels, bathrobes, and slippers—everything you would expect from a 5-star hotel. The pool was free, and we enjoyed a relaxing time there. (The swimming cap is mandatory and was not free; it cost 10 leva.) The breakfast was diverse and plentiful, offering a wide selection of options—fruits, meat, cheese, vegetables, etc. One evening, we dined at the hotel’s restaurant, and the food was delicious. We felt like we were on the Orient Express due to the elongated shape of the restaurant and its old-world aristocratic charm. The waiter was helpful and served us with warmth and pleasure.

Quite a unique concept: an art gallery inside a hotel. I mean there are modern art exhibits all over the place, including the rooms. Sizeable room, great super king size bed, effective A/C, warm and cozy ambient lights. Fabulous breakfast with luxury category food (including, among other things, smoked salmon, several types of bries, several types of olives, high quality meat products). Easy access from the airport. Proximity to the city center (walk or metro).

The hotel looks better than the city. It it piece of the art inside, the example of the luxury and old-fasion setings of the inside order. From this point of view one of the best and INTERESTING hotel I've ever been. The localisation is ok, but one can be thread by elapidating, abandoned houses and surroundings. Unfortunately Bulgaria, also the capital looks very poor. At the same time it is safe. Don't try to find restaurant near by. All of them are closed. The one at the hotel is good, thought you could wait longer than usual. There are few restaurants at the center of the city, but, also not to easy to find them. As for such economic conditions, the prises are very high everywere.
