Sofia Hotels with Balcony

Facilities: Standard chain hotel facilities, the room is large and can be pushed into a stroller. Hygiene: The bathroom is large and clean. But the toilet is very close to the wall, which makes it inconvenient every time I use it. Environment: We were arranged in a room facing the elevator. At night, we could hear the sound of the elevator and the sound of others walking by, which was a bit disturbing. There is a huge pillar in the middle of the house, which takes up a lot of space and makes the house look very strange. Service: It's average. I booked a standard room, about 100€ per night. I don't know if it's because it's the cheapest room? So it faces the elevator and there is a huge pillar in the middle of the room? ?

Location was very good, esp close to the St Alexander Nevsky Cathedral where is the main tour operator gathering points is. The room and the breakfast buffet was great

This hotel is great, the sanitation service and breakfast are all 4-star, there is free parking at the door, and it is more than 10 minutes drive from the airport. It is highly recommended to have dinner or breakfast in the hotel's restaurant, the cooking skills are very superb.

Nice room, clean and tidy, spotless, comfortable bed, good service staff

The hotel is located in the center of Sofia, convenient to everywhere. The room is big and the bed is good. The breakfast is above average. The facilities are complete and you can exercise.

Because of the meeting, the price has skyrocketed many times, but it is really convenient to go to the opposite side for a meeting. It is a good hotel under the local economic conditions. It is very convenient for the front desk to help you rent out. The automatic currency converter exchange rate is very high.

When we arrived to park at the hotel we were expected to know where to park and where to go so this made the first 15 minutes unbearable. We were told on many occasions not here. Please provide positive directions in future. The hotel itself after the poor beginning was excellent. The room was clean and serviceable with a good fridge. Although my wife found the bed and pillows uncomfortable I did not. Breakfast had a good selection and the dining area was roomy. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE someone teach the chef to fry an egg. No matter your preference whether it be over easy, flipped or hard yolk all eggs had a fantastic burnt plastic skirt. TIP use the right kind of oil, don't turn the heat up so high, have the oil warm before the egg goes in, and don't use freezing cold eggs. The hotel organised Taxi's for us and these were excellent.

The air conditioner in the room didn't work, it was stuffy, the breakfast quality was very poor, the drinks were mixed and had an indescribable taste, and the attitude of the front desk staff was also average

Rooms are clean, staff interest is good Consider it just to sleep.

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.
