Sense Hotel Sofia, a Member of Design Hotels

Sofia City Center Sofia|0.79km from Photos with traditional costumes
Sense Hotel Sofia has a five star but could do a lot better on the little things, The hotel itself is centrally located and an easy walk to metro station, trams stop and restaurants and bars, the staff are attentive with Prosecco on arrival a nice touch, we did arrive about an hour early and the room was ready so all looked great so far. We thought we had booked breakfast with the original booking but told not the case and we were offered a special price for breakfast which was fine with us. Breakfast was on the 9th floor with great views with an omelette station and buffet with a few cooked items and lots of other choices but you have to wait to be served your tea or coffee instead of being able to help yourself, which meant there were lots of staff milling around watching. Room was spacious and clean on the 4th floor with floor to ceiling windows making for a great view of the cathedral but only big shutters that didn’t block out all of the light in the morning. In the room there was a complimentary small bottle of water each and we could have one coffee or tea per day each from the mini bar which is a little cheap for a 5 star reputation, we have stayed in lesser starred hotels where tea, coffee and all that comes with it (milk and sugar etc) are free and refilled regularly or at request for no extra charge throughout the stay, so Sense lacking on that front. Check out was early on the Friday so we didn’t get a chance to get breakfast but they would not take it off the bill even though we hadn’t paid the bill yet which was a little confusing and felt like they were really penny pinching!

Rila Hotel Sofia
3.6/544 Reviews

Rila Hotel Sofia

Sofia City Center Sofia|0.11km from Photos with traditional costumes
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.

Scotty's Boutique Hotel
3/519 Reviews
Sofia City Center
The hotel's rooms definitely didn't live up to our expectations. The room was well heated and there always was hot water, but I had to shower the whole bathroom, just to take a shower. I have really strong doubts about the cleaning, too. The owner was quite friendly in general, but didn't support us on an argue we had with a taxi driver, who ripped us off with the money exchange and took an unreasonably big amount of money. He actually called us ”malakas” for not willing to leave the poor taxi driver a tip.For me that was the worse part. Not protecting your client and encouraging the taxi drivers' behavior(who, believe me, are quite infamous) is the main reason for this bad review and why I will not prefer it again in the future.
R34 Boutique Hotel
4.1/521 Reviews
Sofia City Center
Superplace, directly on a corner at the top of Vitosha Blvd. Ideal for tourists because many attractions are to be reached foot. For the eye nicely furnished rooms, the material used is of lower quality. Cheapest spanwood or press paper or anything. The floors of the shublade are partially unleashed because they are nailed with mini-stops that can also be unloaded with light loading. Water savings rate of the toilet without function. The beds were okay - with good sleep comfort. However, we had also a room back - which was very quiet. Afterwards it was likely to be noisy. The room was not cleaned, but towels were changed and waste packers (which must also be used for toilet paper) were empty. Reception at arrival was very nice, with instruction to rooms and buildings. Good solution with coded doors (input door building, input door floor and room door). So you don't have to take care of keys. Afterwards a young lady sat at the reception that was completely inappropriate for the job m.E. We had a simple question. She looked up a little from the PC, answered 'no!' and immediately looked back into the PC - probably in the hope that we would go back. I was tending to apologize for the disturbance until I realized we were the guests in the hotel. We have avoided any further contact. So no one should count with the reception as a contact.
Slavyanska Beseda Hotel

Sofia City Center
Good location not far from all the activities and to the public transport. Walking distance to Nevresky Cathedral and St Andrew Russian Style Church with onion domes. Friendly staff probably family owned but housekeepers do not communicate in English. Good breakfast and varied. Big room with terrace but could not manage to operate the AC .
Hotel Niky
4.3/542 Reviews
Sofia City Center
The location was fantastic. Near Vitosha boulevard and the city center. Everything was easily accessible and all kind of services and shops were pretty close. The room was comfortable and cozy. It was equipped with all the amenities you could answer. Everything was clean and fitted well. The breakfast was ok. Nothing exceptional but the main things were always present. And in the end the highest marks go to the staff that were very kind and friendly. I would definitely choose Niky Hotel when I return to Sofia.

5 minutes walk from Metro Station. Good location and easy to understand. The hotel staff was kind and very helpful. There were few types of breakfast, but none of them were delicious. Especially yogurt is exquisite! I am satisfied enough for this price.
