Little place in Sofia
Cost effective stay in Sofia. Very close to the metro, and if you walk from the centre there is the chance to explore local settings. Other people have started how bad the breakfast is, but to be honest the are so many breakfast places that sell things cheaply and are fresh that there isn't much point hanging around in the hotel. In that way, it is a good place to stay for the night.

Nice hotel, great service
I stayed here for 3 nights and found it to be a good place for exploring the city. The tram runs straight outside the hotel but it is very close to all of the attractions and the main part of the city so I chose to walk rather than take the tram. I had a room without a balcony and it was fine. This is not a luxurious hotel but good for the money. Yes a few parts are a little tired and worn. My friend had a larger room on the top floor with a balcony which was very nice and only about £3 more than my room per night. The staff are especially helpful and Andriana knew a lot about the city and was able to suggest lots if things to do. First class service. I would recommend this hotel.

Lovely and well run hotel with very friendly staff
This is an excellent place to stay in Bansko. Just away from the crassness of the new town; just on the edge of the atmospheric old town. Very clean and stylishly decorated. Very large rooms. Best of all though the staff were amazingly friendly and accommodating. Arrived back from an excursion too late for breakfast - not a worry they just got it for us. And when my travelling companion broke his collar bone in a fall the lady of the household (it is truly a family run hotel) dropped everything to take us to hospital and swept us through the somewhat archaic Bulgarian health system. Amazingly cheap price for all of this and a really excellent place to stay! Recommended!

Great staff, great location
We had a great time at this hotel. We arrived from an overnight bus, extremely early in the morning, and, the host made us coffee and let us nap in the lobby for an hour while the housekeeper prepared our room. He put our room as highest priority and let us check in 7 hours early. The room was very nice...there was a slight smell of cigarette smoke in the room (but what do you expect in Eastern Europe). The hotel was very conveniently located - 20 minute walk from the bus station and between 5-15 minute walk to almost anything else in the city. There was a maitre d' there 24 hours and, whoever it was, they went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and fun.

Good Enough
Closest place I could find to the bus/train station and still walk downtown. The blanket was dirty but there were multiple clean ones in the room. The internet was great, the television was in Bulgarian but it had great signal, plenty of hot water in a nice bathroom which was quite clean. Breakfast was prepped quickly and was minimal but I feel it was a typical Bulgarian breakfast with juice was added, the problem was I don't like coffee. Easy to find on a map, near public transport but the staff is a little shy of speaking English.

Convenient, central
Hotel was small but good, price was excellent. Very clean, very kind staff. Room was big enough and bathroom also big and modern. A little bit unusual to eat the breakfast in the room!

Solid comfort and value.
Nice hotel on a side street that gets quiet at night....even weekend nights. It's near a pedestrian street for shopping, near a metro for accessing the larger city, and near downtown for walking to most of the sights. Very affordable. The staff was kind and most spoke functional English. The bathrooms have been recently renovated, so that's a nice plus. We slept very well both nights.

Plenty of eating places locally.
We stayed at this hotel on two separate occasions and received totally different experiences. The first time we arrived early morning, were given an extremely small and hot room without any instructions on how to operate the air-conditioning but we were just glad to be able to put our heads down. We were awoken not long after by the rumbling of the trams and found it difficult moving around our room getting dressed etc due to the lack of space. The breakfast was adequate and reception phoned for a taxi for us to carry on with our journey. We were in two minds about cancelling our stay for our return journey but decided it was better that we knew what the situation was rather than having to find another hotel somewhere else in this large city. The return stay was completely different and although we were originally shown to a room which hadn't had a bed made up (they have been having problems with the maid!!) we were soon given another large room. From this one we couldn't really hear the trams, it had a nice size en-suite and comfortable bed. Again the breakfast and support from the staff was what one would expect . We may well visit Sofia again in the future but would be unlikely to book this hotel again.

I was told all rooms have AC as it was hot and my stay was during June. I checked in and after some time noticed the AC is blowing warm air only. When I told the reception, they told me its because the AC has to be recharged as it was not working during the colder months. There were no sheets on the pillows and bed when I checked into the room and there was also hair on the mattress. There is a tram that runs all day in front of the hotel and is very loud, so that did not help with sleep either. I chose this hotel, because it had a good rating, but I would not rate it good based on my standards. I suppose its ok for a cheap hotel if you want privacy and a good central location. It is on a fairly nice street with trees and restaurants, reception is friendly as well. I would not rate this place as good based on American or Western European standards, but I guess you have to keep in mind you are in Bulgaria, and if you want something more comfortable you will have to pay for it as well.

Near tourist sites
It was my first booking with Expedia. Everything was as we ordered, close to centre of Sofia. A as a couple we would have liked single beds together, after having traveled around Bulgaria for a week But might suit two single people, it was a small room with 2 beds not together, but clean and all right for 3 nights, bathroom very good, the whole hotel looked newly decorated and clean, staff very friendly , helpful, and informative about which way to go for tourist site. We would use it again.

only if you're desperate
this can hardly be called a boutique hotel...definitely just simple, bare low budget. use only if you want a place to sleep. stained sheets, broken tv remote and trash can. "breakfast" was a croissant heated in the microwave, orange drink (not juice) and COLD coffee. it costs less than a euro to get that "meal" anywhere in the city. staff was extremely UNHELPFUL- not answering emails before arrival and instead of making a phone call to check the train schedule, they told us to go TO THE STATION across the city.

Hotel Bulgari at the heart of the city
The Hotel was chosen because it was close to where I was doing business at the time and there were a couple of good restaurants nearby, I was not inclined to take a taxi late at night and besides, the temperature was -6 degrees which was not convenient for looking around for a restaurant.

Not that good
Average cleanliness of the rooms, staff was accommodating enough. Location is not that great. Would not go back, unless it were not for the suite where we stayed, which has 3 bedrooms and is convenient for larger families.

Very Satisfied
We had a very good stay at the Bulgari, we were picked up from the airport by a really friendly driver who also took us out for the day to Rila Monastery. He was lovely. The location is great, we walked everywhere. The Free Walking Tour was also excellent. Sofia is a really interesting city and we had a great time.

Bonne localisation
Tout était presque bien, sauf sans préavis pour changer de place d'hôtel à un autre endroit. Une des 2 lampes de nuit était mal placé, juste devant la porte de la chambre de bain. J'ai heurté et en casser et obliger de payer 5 euros.

Good stay. Recommended
Overall we had a good stay at the hotel, cheap and great location, close to all the great sights. One bad thing was that the room we had was facing the streets outside. It literally sounded like a bus went right through the room sometimes in the morning, probably a garbage disposal truck. And loud old cheesy 90's hits started playing from a nearby store at like 8 am. Other than that, it was great!
