3 star hotels in Sofia

Basic in every sense of the word! Tiny rooms, average service and how dare you market it as an airport hotel when one needs a taxi to get to the airport?🤔🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️ #whatajoke One of the positives is a front desk employee by the name of Bobby. He's extremely friendly, incredibly professional and an all-round super guy! Ibis Sofia Airport Hotel is very lucky to have him working for them. The other positive...

Great option to stay a night after or before the flight, I've done it multiple times. Free shuttle to the hotel (and from it), you just call the driver (English speaking) and he's there for you in 3 min. Good restaurant! If you leave early morning before the breakfast starts they prepare a takeaway breakfast, I think its really cute and thoughtful. Rooms are clean and beds are comfortable, decent shampoo...

I stayed at this hotel recently and while the location is great close to the airport with a convenient shuttle - there were several letdowns. The rooms were not completely clean, with noticeable dust and unkempt areas. The service also wasn’t up to par; staff didn’t seem particularly helpful or attentive. On the positive side, the food was good, but it was pricey for what you got. Overall, while the...

Convenient for an early flight. This is a standard ibis with clean, functional rooms and straightforward service. Nothing remarkable, but the location—just 10 minutes on foot from Terminal 1—makes it a practical choice if you have a morning flight.

Great experience from the moment I booked the room from the hotel's website. Staff was polite, the room was clean, quiet and comfortable. The free airport shuttle was very convenient and got me to the airport on time for a very early flight. Breakfast to go was an apple and a ham and cheese sandwich, delicious and fresh. Would definitely recommend!

My flight was spontaneously canceled and so the airline booked me a room in this hotel. Although the hotel had to deal with a lot of unexpected guests (most people from the cancelled flight), they managed the situation very well, stayed calm and friendly and managed the shuttle from the airport to the hotel as fast as possible. The room was basic but clean and absolutely fine for the night. We had...

The person at the check out counter was just wonderful and so helpful. I had a 0530 am flight out of sofia, not only did they give me a wake up call, but even knocked on my door to ensure I was awake. The shuttle service to the airport was super convenient. Thank you for all the hospitality Yes, comfy and clean A ++++

Extended my stay. There's a popular local restaurant, Happy Bar, downstairs. The food was on the salty side. The hotel is a bit old. However, it's conveniently located, the staff are friendly, and the breakfast is just average.

Very good location and quiet place overlooking the park area.

Great location, friendly staff, convenience of having breakfast.

Overpriced hotel whose heyday was over 30 years ago. The reception staff barely spoke English. You can see from everything that the best before date is long gone. The elevator also got stuck many times and my friend had to wait for help to get out. The panoramic restaurant has amazing views. The waiters were true professionals. Unfortunately, the food was completely overcooked throughout.

Nice hotel in the Russian Embassy neighborhood. It is clean, attentive staff in a safe area. It is a short walk to the subway/metro. Only 200 meters.

The hotel is very noisy outside. You can hear the rumbling of cars outside when you sleep at night. It's impossible to sleep! There are not many places to eat around! There is only a very small supermarket around, and the items are limited.

High cost performance, not bad.

Hotel is clean and bed is very comfortable. Pool is very busy at weekends in good weather, mainly from people not staying at hotel. Breakfast let's the place down. Even scrambled eggs are cold.

Dated hotel with hard beds. Excellent staff, great free breakfast. Restaurant staff are friendly and helpful. The food at the restaurant is wonderful..

It was overall satisfying. The room was pretty big and bed too. Breakfast is not very good and we were practically kicked out around 10. Other than that it was nice and pool is very nice if you have time.

Positiv: ➕ - spacious rooms - cozy beds - nice play area for the kids (8 leva per hour) Negativ: ➖ - unfriendly staff (especially at the restaurant area) - breakfast is very limited, no butter just margarine and bread is uuurgh but the coffee is good and its cheap (10 leva per person - kids are free) - pool area closes at 7.00 pm. - outdated furniture - every morning there was a harsh smoking odor...

Business hotel, average breakfast.

Location is perfect. Very near metro and bus stop. Mall is in front. Value for money.

We were staying in the new wing of the hotel, the room was clean and pleasant, the location is great. The price-quality ratio is good.

Strategically located right above the subway, the hotel is a bit dated but clean. Breakfast was good.

Very helpful front desk, helped with all my queries and even printed off my bus ticket home. Room was quaint but nice, good view of the mountain despite the clouds. Bathroom compact but perfectly serviceable. Only complaint would be you get some noise from other guests in the hallway, but that’s fairly normal.

The room is clean and big. The staffs is friendly and agreed for our late check out. the breakfast is just ok. Very near to Metro, so easy o move around.

The hotel was fine for the price. Staff were very helpful, the view of the city was amazing. The bed was okay, there was no overhead lighting. One had to use lamps. The fridge in the room was nice to have but noisy. I unplugged it at night. It kept the contents cold by the next morning. Daily house keeping, metro just outside and a shopping mall across the road. There is Burger King, KFC, Subway if...

It is a very nice hotel. My room was big and clean and I had a very nice view from my balcony, actually two balconies (180° view). The restaurant was very cozy and had a nice vibe .

What a lovely hotel! I didn't have reservations but they found me a wonderful room to stay for a couple of nights! I felt safe and secure the entire time for duration of my stay! The room was clean and spacious, simple but with everything that you need and nothing that you don't! The bathroom was also lovely!Same as the room, clean and spacious! Free parking and breakfast included in the price of...

Hotel located on the hills of Sofia. Nice place surrounded by trees. Comfortable rooms.

Lovely stay, and a fantastic rate for the room, 3 beds for us and 2 children, clean and spacious. The restaurant serves excellent food for a fair price and service was quick and polite. The free breakfast was also excellent with a barrista making delicious made to order coffee drinks. We did not have a chance to stay long enough to enjoy the pool and gym but we would absolutely stay here again. It...

Our second year staying at Jasmin. The breakfast was poorer than last year, but ok, can't complain considering the price of the accommodation. Room is spatious, bed is comfortable, extra pillows in the cupboard (discovered the morning we left). People are nice and accommodating, even though few of them speak English (the ones who were serving breakfast), we got through, no problems there. Very good...

Good location free parking Unserviceable and disappointing receptionist No elevator, carry the luggage up the stairs.

Very close to train station. The prices are good. Rooms are old but very clean. The surrounding is quite. The owner and his some and very flexible and nice. Breakfast is good. Tram station is across the street.

Nice hotel good location only 5mn walk from international train station

A bit run down has been a good hotel in the past but badly needs a refit, but good value and close to the center of Sofia and transport bus and train central stations

Each visit I take here the better it is. I mean the staff is very nice and the price is good. I stay here no less than twice a year. Great

Close to railway station so good for travelling. Rooms are dated but reasonably clean. The breakfast was not very good and would be advised to eat elsewhere.

Loved it. Very friendly staff and service. Bang in the middle of the city centre and right next to the tube line.

We were very pleased with the art plaza hotel. They must be a 5 star hotel. Everything is excellent. Location, facility, guest service, breakfast and All. We will be back next trip.

Sofia:- March 2025 Great hotel, good location, friendly and helpfulstaff. All you could need for breakfast. Would stay here again

Nice hotel in a great location close to main walking street and park. Had an early check-in with a good breakfast. Will stay here again

The property is nice and check in was very smooth and the lady helped us with all the details and suggested very good local options for food. Break fast was fantastic and room was great.The check out experience was not great. The person in charge asked us whether we had anything from minibar and we said "No". He stopped us going to catch our flight to airport till some one checked our room and confirmed...

It was my first time in Sofia. and looking at the hotel reviews, I decided to stay in this hotel. And I realized that it was a very right decision. When you enter, you are greeted by friendly, helpful staff. Breakfast, location, safe, cleanliness is very good. Reception staff helped with everything. Especially on the check out day of 12.12.2024, the reception staff were very helpful with the taxi....

The hotel is located in the core area of ​​the city center, which is very convenient for travel. Parking is convenient downstairs and there is a 24-hour convenience store not far away, which is very convenient for shopping. The room is relatively old, and many Chinese people choose to stay here, but the hygiene is acceptable. There are no free toiletries and drinking water in the room, so you need...

Renewed hotel, very artistic looking. The colours are dark, but fashionable. We were staying on the 8th floor with a great view. The location is right at the center of the city, close to all landmarks. Restaurants nearby, great night life.

Very good room with excellent quality double beds. I love enjoy sports with good quality t.v. A very good furniture & fashion decoration. I just didn't like see the room without tea coffe even milk. The service staff provide its very good & helpfully. Always the clean staff are there on time. Very kind & friendly. I really enjoy the location because its located in Central city. I really love the panoramic...

Hotel Rila Sofia offers a convenient and comfortable stay for travelers. Its central location is a major highlight, with easy access to key attractions, shops, and dining options. The rooms are clean, modern, and well-equipped, though some guests have mentioned that they could benefit from slight updates in decor. The staff is generally friendly and helpful, providing good service throughout the stay...

We stayed at Hotel Rila for 5 nights and had an exceptional time! The room was very clean and updated with fun decor. All the staff was amazingly friendly and went out of their way to help us with anything we needed. I love having a little mini fridge in our room and the balcony views of Sofia are stunning! We spent time each night enjoying the view of the city. We had breakfast at the hotel breakfast...

I stayed there for a night during my stay in Sofia, Bulgaria. The location of this hotel is very convenient as it is close to the metro station, markets and food shops. The price was also reasonable compared to the hotel location and room size and facilities. The rooms are a bit older, especially the bathroom. The bathtub and toilet shows the age. But overall cleanliness and service is good.

Very good please business wise. Was close to the metro and train stations. The hotel is ok. Breakfast was fine as well.

Very good hotel and their staff very kinds

It was easy to speak with reception and they were kind towards us. They answered every question we asked about the transportation or where to eat. The rooms were very clean, toileters were enough. Its 10 min walk to train and bus station. Metro is 5 min walk. Nice place to stay.

Nice hotel in center of Budapest. Everything you need for rest you got here

Helpful staff Good location Spacious room

I was very happy with my stay, spacious room, renovated bathroom with lots of plug-ins and nite lites, comfy large bed, balcony, and desk. Reception was kind and supportive.

Pros: Good location, the hotel isnt as bad as what the comment saids online. The cleanliness is within good standard and honestly I can see the hotel owner trying their best to maintain this hotel. No bedbugs or whatsoever in the hotel and the room size is great. If you are a historic enthusiast, this hotel is perfect for you. I love the manual lift they are using and this gave me an authentic stay...

Perfect location, budget stay. The hotel is aged and maintenance is overdue, but it's not as bad as written in other reviews. Breakfast is okay. A decent, no-frills option.

Old hotel but maintained. Medium sized room with a double bed. Bathrooms are small but clean. Location is almost good. Yards away from tram service, and few steps away from bus. Reasonably priced. Check-in is little bit slow but ok. Receptionist is smiling and helpful.

Room 205. Reception Diyan is the best, very friendly and helpful! Immaculate room with mini bar fridge, TV, aircon, nice beds, clean all around! Best hotel in the best part of Sofia's Center, walking distance to all attractions and parks. I had the best time here, thank you hotel management!

I actually like the place. The receptionist guy was very nice and cooperative. The room is very clean. It worth

It was a very pleasant stay and the best thing was the location of the hotel. Staffs were professional. Breakfast was also good. The lady at the breakfast counter was very nice and welcoming. Cons - Since it is near the city center and the area comes in the blue zone so Parking was bit stressful on the streets. Also in the WC the water tank was not functioning properly.

It is considered to be a better local characteristic hotel in Bulgaria. They upgraded our room for free, the breakfast was also good, and most importantly, the hotel service was also very good. If we encountered any difficulties, Ctrip was able to handle them in time.

The attitude of the receptionist was unprofessional, rude and unacceptable. For one hour, the whole hotel didn’t know how to charge my credit card, as their credit card machine doesn’t follow EU rules for 3D security, thus jeopardising clients’ private data. I wasted a full hour on the phone with my bank, only to find out that the hotel doesn’t follow rules on how to securely handle credit card data...

Sofia visit Very large comfortable room, very clean. Beautiful window and balcony with greenery. It was quite and pleasant. The staff was professional and very helpful. There is a paid parking (15 euro/24 hours) in front of the hotel, but we parked on the street - it is free during holidays. Safe, green area, at a walking distance to shopping, attractions, restaurants.

A very nice hotel, totally clean throughout, and very friendly staff, would definitely stay here again.

The hotel is just a few steps from the “European Union” metro station just south of the center of Sofia. The hotel and neighborhood are both quiet, safe and conveniently located to what I must say is Sofia’s excellent Metro system (you can get almost anywhere in no time for very cheap)! I got to the airport from here in about 35 minutes (not rush hour). The bathrooms are newly refurbished and the...

Peaceful and happy 2 days There was a team of polite, reliable, polite and polite people who were smiling and never disturbed. The hotel was like a home. If the seating group in the breakfast room and the reception floor were reduced in too many and cramped old baroque style sofa sets, it would be a more spacious environment. It was nice to examine the very original and valuable objects like antiques

All is good, the staff there are all very kind, whether at reception or in the restaurant, especially the young waiter in the restaurant; he is very kind, thank you guys, see you next time.

Stayed a few nights and really enjoyed it. The room was spacious and spotless, the staff were friendly and professional, and everything ran smoothly. Loved the calm atmosphere and the view from my room. Would definitely return.

It was nice.I will recommend to my friends and i will visit again this city and this hotel

Facilities: Acceptable Hygiene: Good Environment: Convenient Service: Excellent

Lovely hotel, not far from the city centre, friendly staff. 

I arrived without reservation at 1am and they gave a studio for the price of a double room. Then they also stored my suitcases for the whole afternoon. It’s not a 5* hotel but was okay for the price.

Thé place is very good and clean comfortable and the stuff is very friendly Thé breakfast is good and enough The room is suitable The hotel is very clean The stuff is very helpful

Marianka at the front desk was a breath of fresh air. She made the stay from just ok to great. We work in the hospitality industry and noticed her right away in her positive interactions. We would stay again if she was still there

We stayed at this hotel on our way to Greece from Romania. It is quickly accessible from the highway. Located in a fairly quiet area of the city, yet not far from the center. The parking is located about 100 meters from the hotel, in a video-surveilled courtyard with barriers. The restaurant menu is ok, with good options for dinner. The breakfast, included in the price of the accommodation, offers...

Had wonderful time in this hotel. They welcomed me with a free room update, the room service was great and the food in the restaurant really delicious, the room was spacious (although bit noisy from the Bulevard), the staff were nice, especially the lady at the reception and the breakfast was delightful. Went for work and for me it was the perfect choice.

Very nice hotel.Friendly stuff always available to help the guests.Breakfast is excellent and the rooms are very clean.Nearby are cafe restaurants and supermarkets.I strongly recommend it

It is good value for money and the breakfast is ok. Great location if you need to take coach or train as both stations are within 10 mins walk. Otherwise if planning to explore Sofia probably can find something in a nicer area and more central.

5 minute walk to tram stop. Walking distance to central bus station

Room is clean, but quite small. The shower area in bathroom has only partition without a door. There is no toiletries, no kettle and welcome coffee/tea. No refrigerator. We have our breakfast in the hotel. No halal meat, thus we just have our coffee, bread, and fruit.

Lovely hotel, we have stayed many times but on this occasion they had no breakfast facilities on as the restaurant was closed. Although they have a vending machine near reception the coffee wasn't up to much and there wasn't any kettle available to use although they did say they would give us boiled water if we asked.

I liked it very much that it is close to the center and the staff Stefani and Rumen are very helpful. Thank you, they took care of me very politely and caringly, they are helpful, they are really friendly, they have good character and the hotel rooms are clean and tidy.

The whole hotel needs a good cleaning ! The room was big but not clean! The beds weren’t made - which is not a problem but I have never experienced it before ! There was a wedding that night and we could not sleep at all : music most of the night . I don’t think we will stay there again

The receptionist was grumpy as anything didn’t seem bothered to help or even check us in. Pillows are thin as paper other than that the rooms good. Location decent. Rooms are cheap. Good size car park.

I stayed in the hotel for about 10 days. The single room was small but pleasant, with the caveat that the bed was SUPER SMALL. It was barely big enough for a single person, even smaller than the twin size - something important to keep in mind when booking. Another unexpected surprise - the hotel does not provide basic toiletries (soap and shampoo), so come prepared. I want to add here that there WAS...

Our gest always comes here to spend more time it's good place to relax

Very pleased with my stay at the hotel. Good accommodation. Nice restaurant. Comfortable rooms. 24/7 bar service.

Good clean and specelus room Big bed Very poor breakfast, the owner was smoking in the restaurant Good location, 13 min from the center

Perfect place for quick visit! The staff is very kind and helpful!

The ladies from reception very helpful. Daily cleaning, daily change of the towels, parking for the car. A honest price for the room. The metro station it is at 400 m and you can take the metro directely from the airport. There is near an exchange office open untill 5 p.m. Also near are Lidl and Kaufland.

Had a very nice stay, it was very cozy and the food during these Covid-19 times was tasty and nicely packaged. Felt like home.

We were visiting Sofia for a few days and stayed at this hotel. We were greeted in the restaurant by Rosen, he was most helpful and provided excellent customer service and answered any questions we had. The room was very well sized and the orthopedic beds were a nice touch allowing position to be comfortable

The staff were excellent. I couldn't use the shower, There didn't seem to be any water... However the room and the bed was very big.

Good one if you have an early flight. Close to Sofia airport, rooms are good, a minus is the windows can not be opened. Good restaurant, friendly staff,reasonable prices. A transfer to airport is offered by the hotel. And.there is a parking area where you can leave your car during your trip at reasonable fee .

Beautiful hotel close to the airport! They have shuttle bus 24/7 Restaurant is OK! I recommend for one or two nights!

Nice place and very friendly staff..

Nice structure. We stayed 3 nights. We had a great time. Deysy who is the receptionist was very nice to us. Always smiling and helped us a lot. A good rating for her 10. She helped us move around the city by translating the map into Italian. The structure is a 10 minute walk from the subway.

Maybe not the best, modern hotel, but the best money contribute. In the center, big parking, staff highly professional... So tasty breakfast. Greetings to FORUM. I'll come back next time

This is mixed experience. I spent thefe 2 nights. The first night was a nightmare. We got aroom on the 3rd floor which is old and poorly maintained. The air condition didn't work in a warm night, and we didn't sleep all that night. We complaied on that evening, but they couldn't find a solution for that night. On the next morning, we asked for early leave, and then they offer another room on ground...

We made our reservation through hotels.com. After reviewing the website, we based our decision on the appearance of the rooms and the reviews. Upon arrival, we noticed that the rooms were poorly maintained, with stains and dirt on the curtains and drapes, and that the rooms were stuffy and damp. When we asked reception for towels, they asked why we needed them. When we asked for slippers, they told...

Even though the hotel is outside Sofia center, there is a tram nearby. Transport is cheap. Breakfast was good with lots of fruits and sweet desserts besides the usual items usually served in continental breakfast. It seems like a popular hotel for birthday parties.

The room is clean and sanitary, the breakfast is rich, and the stay experience is good!

Room okay- ish. Nothing modern or new. Bed /pillow awful for me, too soft I couldn't sleep at all. The bathroom shower didn't work as it should. No workable tv. Good wi-fi. Very nice location. Excellent front desk / reception staff. I stayed longer than expected, so they tried to accommodate my extension. Polite hotel staff.

We stayed one night. The flight from Sofia was at 5.50 am. We left the hotel at 3.10 pm. We parked and parked. This hotel is about 10 km from the airport. .

Nice adorable hotel. Some is a bit old and in need of renovation. A good place to spend the night for a good rest.

The luxury rooms are quite big and well furnished. The breakfast is also good for a 3 star hotel. And free secured parking is available.

Brod Hotel, a cozy and superb 3-star venue offering high quality accommodation steps away from GM Dimitrov Station. The property comprises 44 modern rooms spread across 6 floors. There is private parking and free Wi Fi. It is located in Lozenets district, just a few minutes' walk from Paradise Center. National Museum of History is a 20-minute ride away. Restaurants, a zoo and discos are set close...

Regular small hotel, a bit far from the city center but on a walking distance from the biggest Sofia park and several not bad restaurants with good kitchen and reasonable prices. The Sofia Zoo is just on a 10 minutes walk. The rooms are clean, the staff is polite and friendly, there is a parking for the hotel guests. The breakfast as usually is included in the price but they do not have a restaurant...

Clean rooms. The staff speak English. They have breakfast included in the price for my room. The breakfast choices were quite nice. The breakfast is down stairs from the lobby. The cable channels do not include any English speaking channels. My days here we're rainy so something on TV that I could understand would have been nice. During the day I could here a lot of traffic noise if my windows were...

New hotel, very clean and nice

Great place for football teams, nice staff, thanks

Very good hotel with lovely enviorment, close to the city center but out of the city jam and noice. Great spa center, jacuzzy, hammam, sauna, hot tubes, and a great fitness center. Very clean rooms and bathrooms
