"Buena ubicación y buen ambiente y tamaño de habitación"

InterContinental Sofia by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"excellent experience the hotel was centrally located and very clean and modern.The staff were tremendous."

B1 Downtown Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The stay was excellent! Staff were very helpful, letting us store luggage there before and after our stay and calling us a taxi when we needed it at the end of our stay. The generous 12 noon check-out time was great. The room was very clean and all new. The temperature was very comfortable. Beds were comfortable and allowed for great sleep. I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Sofia - the location was perfect."

Hotel Favorit

10/10 Excellent

"Personnel très poli et l'information est exacte et utile."

Sofia Balkan Palace

8/10 Good

"Beautiful hotel and great location. The gym was pathetic though and the housecleaning staff would either knock on the door at 9am and one morning 10. I asked them to come back at 11 and they never cleaned the room until repeatedly asking both them and the front desk. The room was finally cleaned around 4:15 in the afternoon. I would have expected more from this hotel."

Grand Hotel Sofia

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms are huge! Nice outside area to hang out."

Grand Hotel Millennium Sofia

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic 5 star hotel! Great staff and super clean and large room. Awesome location right on Vitosha Blvd. Parking was easy but a tad expensive ($30 Euro per night). One thing to note - not all rooms have access to the pool, which is a wonderful perk. We had to pay an extra $80 Euro to use pool complex : ( The top floor bar is spectacular - definitely go! All in all a great hotel!"

Ramada by Wyndham Sofia City Center

10/10 Excellent

"Helpful and friendly reception desk. Included amenities were unexpected but nice to have. Good location close by city centre"

Hyatt Regency Sofia
