Top Sofia Hotel Reviews

Central Hotel Sofia

8/10 Good

"Buena ubicación y buen ambiente y tamaño de habitación"

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."

Rosslyn Central Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Large room, extremely comfortable and clean. Friendly staff and best location!"
