It serves à la carte breakfast and has a Mediterranean restaurant. The highest-rated in the guide.

«DOT Sofia strikes the ultimate balance between minimalist, contemporary design and a wonderfully cosy, home-from-home atmosphere where you are thoroughly looked after by the attentive team. Our breakfast was simply delicious, providing a marvelous start to each morning. Location-wise, it is brilliantly situated in a historic, authentic pocket of the city right by the old Women's Market, yet you are merely a stone's throw from a vibrant array of trendy coffee shops, superb restaurants, and local sights.»
