Find the Cheap Sofia Hotels

L'hotel non è malaccio, non sono le 4 stelle italiane, ma sono stato una settimana e tutto è andato bene, il personale cordialissimo, la pulizia un po' lenta ma efficace la colazione insomma ho visto di meglio ma non male. Considerato il rapporto qualità/prezzo è ottimo unico neo la posizione non tanto centrale ma a circa 500 metri si trova l'ingresso della metro che ti porta ovunque arriva anche fino all' aeroporto, nelle immediate vicinanze ci sono diversi locali e la pizzeria don tano da evitare gli altri invece ottimi e prezzi eccezionali anche perché il Lev bulgaro vale la metà dell' euro. Comunque andate a visitare Sofia molto conveniente.

We stayed for one night after a long train journey. Arriving at 9 we wanted to find a nearby restaurant and the front manager was very helpful in presenting options and suggested the next door French restaurant which we managed to get into after saying we were staying at the St George. The room was very quiet and the bed had great duvets. The breakfast was excellent. The location is central and the front desk provided us a paper map which is not that common in Balkan hotels. The late check out of 12 is welcome if one is on a late night train.,as well as the ability to leave bags at the hotel.

The environment is not bad, the room is still neat and clean, free parking space is limited, can stop on the roadside, need to park after 8:30 in the morning, there is a simple breakfast, is the front desk staff attitude is relatively indifferent.

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

Very cosy place. The location is at Pliska, 5 minutes by bus from Orlov most (Еagle's Bridge), Sofia. The rooms are very nice and spacious. They have large windows, that let sunlight in. The restaurant is open, there are free parking spaces in the garage. Quick access to the airport.

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.

The hotel was overall good, but a young waitress at the front desk was indifferent and asked her if she didn't know. I told her: Her attitude is too bad, I have to complain to her boss, the attitude has eased. This front desk service has changed my impression of this hotel.

Pros: The hotel design is very modern and clean. The staff are nice and friendly and do everything they can to help you. This hotel is big on sustainability. They don't leave plastic bottles in your room. Instead, you have glass bottles that you can fill up everywhere in the hotel. Every floor has a drinking fountain where you can fill up your bottle. The food was absolutely amazing. Breakfast is not a buffet. On weekdays, you have to choose between a Bulgarian or a French breakfast. At first, I was disappointed that they didn't have a simple option like an omelet; I went with the Bulgarian option. It was fantastic. Everything was fresh. On weekends, you only have an omelet option, which was also great. For dinner, I got Sea Bass and it was also great! I am fully satisfied with the food served at this hotel. The only criticism I can give is that the breakfast serving window is very small and late (8:30 am to 10:30 am if I remember correctly) and you have to wait for more than usual to get your food. Cons: The rooms have tile floors, which look cold but are not since I believe they use floor heating. The problem is that they don't offer slippers, which I don't like, since the same tiles continue into the toilet. It doesn't feel clean. They also don't offer toothbrushes which I would have really appreciated. I had to unplug the fridge since the compressor made a lot of noise when turning off and on, and I'm a light sleeper. Overall I would recommend this place if the location suits you, just bring your own slippers and enjoy the food!

This is a great new hostel concept for Sofia and Bulgaria. Its nice to have a fully enclosed bed (with curtain) which add to privacy, when sharing a room (dorm) with 4 other travellers Furthermore there are several lighting options within the actual bed area full and dime lightening, However, I was allocated a top bed in the dorm, I did find it hard at first to get in and out. Perhaps I am just too old for the hostel concept! - No seriously, it was very good for a hostel. The room was air-conditioned and seemed to work well. Great exchange with fellow travellers in my room, the benefits of staying in a hostel. Our external bathroom, was directly opposite with several showers and toilets. However, one facility was out of order. There are two different kitchens on different levels. I checked in at the allocated time - at first there seemed to be some problem with the reservation. I had prepaid my reservation, though Trip.com, but the vast majority of travellers use hostelworld.com, which only require a deposit, with the remaining payment given at the hostel. This created some confusion at check-inn. The hostel is very close to the main railway and bus station (10 min walk). However, this hostel is quite far from the main tourism zones and sights of Sofia, which is about 45 to 50 walk. However, there a several trams & buses to get you there - maybe little a bit confusing for first time Sofia traveller. Overall, I highly recommend this hostel.
