Find Best Hotels in Sofia

"I thought the location was good because it was about a 10-minute walk from Sofia Central Station, within walking distance to the center, and there was a supermarket nearby. It's not that it's not clean, but the overall impression of the hotel was dark. Maybe it's the carpet or the lighting. The service was not bad, but the receptionist was a little blunt or unfriendly. I heard that many Bulgarian people are shy as a national character, so I think that's the way it is. Amenities included shampoo, shower gel, bar soap, bath towels, face towels, and bath mats, but there were no tissues, toothbrushes, slippers, or loungewear. There is no water in a plastic bottle, so when you drink coffee or tea that is provided as an amenity, you need to use tap water or the water you bought yourself. All the breakfasts were delicious. It seems that there is basically no person in charge other than replenishing meals and serving dishes, so it seems that each person can use it freely."

"Excellent hotel with helpful staff"

"Nice hotel in quiet area. Big building free parking. Spacious rooms and bathrooms."

"It is located near the city center and it is very convenient to walk to the pedestrian street. However, the hotel is not as big as advertised. The breakfast options are only a few kinds of bread, which is not particularly rich! If you need to take a taxi from the airport to the city center, it only costs 20 local currency. I was charged 40, so be careful!"

"Pros: The hotel design is very modern and clean. The staff are nice and friendly and do everything they can to help you. This hotel is big on sustainability. They don't leave plastic bottles in your room. Instead, you have glass bottles that you can fill up everywhere in the hotel. Every floor has a drinking fountain where you can fill up your bottle. The food was absolutely amazing. Breakfast is not a buffet. On weekdays, you have to choose between a Bulgarian or a French breakfast. At first, I was disappointed that they didn't have a simple option like an omelet; I went with the Bulgarian option. It was fantastic. Everything was fresh. On weekends, you only have an omelet option, which was also great. For dinner, I got Sea Bass and it was also great! I am fully satisfied with the food served at this hotel. The only criticism I can give is that the breakfast serving window is very small and late (8:30 am to 10:30 am if I remember correctly) and you have to wait for more than usual to get your food. Cons: The rooms have tile floors, which look cold but are not since I believe they use floor heating. The problem is that they don't offer slippers, which I don't like, since the same tiles continue into the toilet. It doesn't feel clean. They also don't offer toothbrushes which I would have really appreciated. I had to unplug the fridge since the compressor made a lot of noise when turning off and on, and I'm a light sleeper. Overall I would recommend this place if the location suits you, just bring your own slippers and enjoy the food!"

"The Rila Hotel is an old hotel with old facilities, shoe box size elevators but in a very central part of the town near to everything. Our first night we stayed in a standard small room ( I think it cost $46 maybe $50 with taxes etc )that was not satisfactory. The next day for $10 - $12 per day upgrade we moved into a double size spacious/suite room with 2 balconies !! Very nice to sit out on the balcony with the afternoon setting sun and to wash out a few cloth items and let the sun dry them. Neither of the rooms had shower curtains in the bathrooms. When i enquired about this I was told this was done because of covid. Hhmmm not sure how a shower curtain has any bearing on covid ? We stayed a total of 7 nights and only once, after I called down to the front desk, did a chamer maid come up and take out the garbage and change the towels. To be fair my girlfriend has a habit of spreading all her things all over the 2 rooms so we hesitated to make a fuss. I can imagine a maid being shocked to walk in and not know what to do in all the mess. Breakfast cost extra and was only ok but enough to start the day. There was a large flat screen TV which we never turned on, there was no safe deposit box in the room but we were able to leave our valuables downstairs at the front desk. There are other hotels also nearby that are probably more renovated and modern and most likely cost a little more. On our next trip we most likely will see about other options. The staff was friendly and helpful. I guess it depends on what your expectations are but for us it worked."

"The room is quite small and the power goes out from time to time. The hotel is in a great location, in the busiest area of ​​the city center. The swimming pool is nice. Free white wine is provided in the lobby in the afternoon, which is great."

"a last minute reservation booked on the way. , good hotel, only parking in the street is difficult, nearby private parking 2 minutes walk away with 24 hours parking watch is familiar"

"Good location, near the airport, ten minutes away! The room is spacious, the facilities are complete, the restaurant service is good, the next day to catch the plane, the first night in advance feedback, the next morning at the front desk received a rich breakfast with bottled water, eggs, bread, yogurt, apples, intimate preparation of disposable knife and fork spoon and paper towels, Special praise 👍!"
