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!

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!

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.

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.

My own criticism is that they could have replenished the teabags & provided a spoon to stir in sugar & there was one light I just couldn’t switch off so had to take room card out every night. Other that it was perfect. Thanks.

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
