I recently stayed at Crystal Palace Hotel and found it to be a charming place. The location is excellent, allowing for easy exploration of Sofia, and my room was very clean and spacious. However, my dining experience was somewhat underwhelming, as the breakfast could use a bit more variety. The service varied, with some staff being friendly, but I did encounter a few less than pleasant interactions, especially at the wellness center.
