Best Sofia Hotels

Excellent hotel with helpful staff

Very convenient location. Friendly staff who is always ready to help. Stable Internet. Breakfast for 3 stars, OK. Minorities: The room heating is made by a common ventilation system that is extremely noisy, sleep with it is difficult even at the minimum capacity. Cleaning leaves you wish the best. Discovered the hair on the floor of the toilet and in bed. The toilet is very dirty. The shower is blocked from the shelf by a non-hydroisolated sewer, water flows beyond the shower. No slippers in the rooms. The doors of the rooms are thin, everything is heard in the corridor. In general the price for the rooms is overpriced in my opinion.

I thought the location was good as it was about 10 minutes walk from Sofia Central Station, walking distance to the center, and supermarket nearby. It's not that it's not beautiful, but overall the hotel was dark. It may be influenced by carpets and lighting. The service is not bad, but the receptionist was a little blunt or unfriendly. It is said that there are many people who are shy as Bulgarian nationality, so I think that is what it is. Amenities included shampoo, shower gel, solid soap, bath towels, face towels, bath mat, but no tissues, toothbrushes, slippers, room clothes, etc. There is no water in the PET bottle, so when drinking coffee or tea as amenities, you need to use tap water or the water you bought yourself. All breakfast was delicious. It seems that there are basically no people in charge other than replenishing meals and taking charge of the lower set, and it seems that each can be used freely.

The bathroom is small. The room was clean. Breakfast is more general. The surrounding traffic is not very convenient. It is 2.5 km from the subway and 15 minutes if you walk.

Convenient location, good service, but the hotel does not reach the four-star standard, and the room on the road will be priced.

The hotel is in the city, the transportation is convenient, the surrounding area is the living area, the stay is relatively late, the hotel view is general, basically no, it took a long time to ask, the accommodation experience is general

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.

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!

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.
