Where to stay in Botewgrad

The locations is fantastic. The gold facilities are great. The open buffet breakfast and dinner were delicious. The staff is kind and helpful. The only thing I didn't like is that they're room have no king size beds - in all rooms (except the apartments as they explained) the double bed is made of two single beds put together. That was a disappointment. The SPA and pool area were very pleasant and...

Fantastic hotel, very nice rooms and worth the upgrade to the lake view for an extra 20lv. The restaurant has a huge selection of very fresh, tasty food and the breakfast was also very good other than the sausages. The hotel has a very large spa area with Finnish sauna, steam room, relaxation areas which makes the visit complete. My only concern was having to get towels from the staff outside smoking...

PROS: -The hotel is really big and the rooms also -Amazing views -The Spa had a lot of saunas, steam rooms and showers -The breakfast was amazing! It had a huge choice. CONS: -The indoor swimming pool was really disappointing. The water was extremely dark and green. You can’t even swim in it. I have never seen a more dirty pool than this one. -This hotel needs a jacuzzi and the spa would be perfect...

Incredible style accomodations and good food. One of the few places in Bulgaria where there is a true 5 star luxury. Don't forget to have your Julious Meinl coffee (#1 In the world) on the terrace overlooking the lake and mountain ridges. And of course, you can watch your buddies golf game cross the lake with a binocular.? The resort has a secluded feel with an elevated sense of tranquility. The spa...

Overall a good hotel, with a totally undeserved 5* rating. Things that left me with a very bad impression were the tattered bathrobes, the broken tiles at the SPA, and the lack of hot water at the villa (at least that problem was quickly resolved by the staff). On a more positive note - the common spaces are well-maintained and spacious. The food in the restaurant has great variety both for breakfast...

What a great place! We have always admired it from the highway on our way to and from Sofia. Glad we finally decided to check it out! Nice modern facility with everything you could possibly need or want. Our 1 night option included dinner and breakfast. Not sure if they have other options, but that was perfect for the price!

Good place. Friedly staff. Nice rooms. Recommend

Great hotel with a decent price, evwn low I might say! For breakfast we had a vhoice between mixed breakfast and omelete- the mixed one was great! Cheese, some jam, ham...very delicious! The rooms are spacious and clean.

This hotel is very good and beautiful place. The owners are very friendly and hospitality peoples. Especially foods are very delicious 😋 absolutely fine.

Booked on site for just 1 night just for transit. Staff were pleasant and helpful, but be advised that they only speak Bulgarian. On the outside hotel is not impressive, but rooms are fully refurbished, very clean, the bathroom is nice and clean too, air conditioning and TV. We could order pizza at 23:00 upon arrival and some desert. Payment with card. Recommended.

Its a place to stay if you've come to play golf, or possibly if you're on the road to somewhere else. Nice enough, and the restaurant was certainly fine, which is good because there's not much else around. Room was great, pretty big and warm enough. Its a short car journey to Pravets golf course if the main big hotel isn't open or costs a bit much.

Great place for mass celebrations, good service, nice location.

Delicious food, normal service and nothing special in facilities.

Delicious dishes. Not so fast serving. Not so clear around. Staff was incompetent and distracted. If you do not know where to eat, try this restaurant, but not recommend so strongly.

The location is beautiful, but for myself a bit difficult to find :)

Amazing location and a cosy pool, but that's about it. There were many things like mould and dirt that made our stay not such a pleasant piece or experience. I believe the villa has a good potential, but it's neglected. Also, there's not much of a parking space.

The hotel is actually in good shape! Some good old school establishment with the very best traits from the Socialism life! The hotel is actually quite big and I am surprised on how well it is beeing kept clean! The rooms are nice and tidy with all the essentials a person might need. Considering the low prices this is just perfect! Definitely recommended.

Great place! Nice rooms, kind stuff, perfect location. The SPA center is also good. Child friendlt, with places to take walks. Only the central heating didn't work so well, but we get an electric heater from reception. We'll visit again in the spring. 😊

Beautiful place nice quiet wonderful staff good price

Beautiful and nice place. Polite staff

Nice place, good food, clean, comfy beds. A little bit overpriced for the area. Beautiful horses and very polite host.

a special place in the middle of nowhere near Sofia. there are horses that can be seen. there is even a pony for kids. very very good food. also a guy from the personnel is extremely nice and funny

It's ok for the price, I stopped one night passing through Bulgaria, would use again.

Very nice hotel. Staff friendly and helpful and understanding to two visually impaired people. Location for same is a bit far out do (ok for Normal people!!). Rooms are big and airy lovely terraces.

Pleasant place to stay over during a vacation.

Friendly staff and reasonable accommodation for the price. Clean and comfortable rooms and nicely appointed. Bed is comfortable and the location is convenient to everything in town

Really good for the price and if you are going to the airport or coming from the airport

We had a very good stay at the hotel Vrazhdebna, the owner of the hotel made everything he can to make us feel very welcome and was very kind. The room is nice ,bed confortable, shower is very good. The hotel is next to a bus stop and has a couple of shops nearby also is very close to airport by car . Everything was very good!We will come again and we recommend.

Very clean room , balcony spotless , staff very friendly, even drove us to the shop for supplies , great room rate and so close to the airport . Would definitely recommend this place .

I'm here for 3 nights room 104 my first impressions are.. It's clean, Staff try to help and make you feel welcome. (Able to communicate in English ok) The place is modern and everything works as expected. The balcony is clean with a table and chair with a ashtray so was able to smoke outside on balcony. I ordered a takeaway and it was brought to my room. ,the bed is comfortable. I will 100% return

With no doubt, this is the best place to stay ever and its restaurant is the best in town. I've never had such delicious food! The tip from me is I highly recommend ordering the goose!

Standard hotel with the most needed stuff included. However, we were not very happy that the Spa relax center was under maintenance which was one of the reasons to choose this hotel. The wifi is not very satisfying. I didn't like the bathroom because the ventilation didn't work and it was wet all the time. In terms of location, the hotel is placed in the center of Vratsa and it has underground parking...

Basic 3* accomodation downtown; great location; small modest rooms (single ones), with no bathtub; no balconies; good breakfast on the terrace; free slow wi-fi; municipality parking - 2 BGN / h !;

Very friendly staff,good food and nice room

Very basic and noisy: awfully loud music from the night club and the bell rings every hour, even at night. Breakfast is ok and rooms are clean though.

Very close to airport and metro where you can park the car to visit Sofia The only complaint is the dog barking at night, too bad.

Very nice place inside and out, as well as the owners. My window overlooked the garden and I really liked it. The opportunity to use the kitchen also impressed me and I was very pleased

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 ++++

The service, attitude and personal touch of the place is great. The hosts were very nice and polite. The only downside for me was the fact that the windows did not have insect nets and the price is too expensive in my opinion.

Very nice place! The owners are really kind and the breakfast is awesome!

Amazing place to visit. The staff is aways friendly and kind. The room was very cozy, just big enough for two people and a suitcase. Everything was clean and the bed was comfy.  The place has an unique charm and a relaxed vibe. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

The rooms were big and furnished as much as needed. There was really fun playground for kids. The food was tasty! Also there was a bbq you can use on your own. We didn't try the swimming pool since the water was still cold, but it looked nice from aside. The owners were really helpful as well. There is a path going up in the forest reaching meadows with wild flowers. Perfect for long or short walks...

Well-renovated hotel, in the woods just above Pirdop with private free parking, inside pool, kids center, sauna, private disco/bar, spacious rooms, good food in the restaurant, nice staff.They have a small park with deer. 4 stars, bacause there is nothing much to do in the area, besides some trails for hiking.

Nice, calm environment and cosy rooms. The staff was reduced due to the inactive season, but managed to do well. Generally positive experience, but could have been better.

Overall the hotel is fine if you don't need anything luxurious. The staff was friendly and helpful. There were some things that could be done better. The ceiling light wasn't working, and the mini fridge wasn't working too.

Try the restaurant! Brilliant cuisine!

Very friendly staff, clean room. Would totally go again there

They gave us a better room, that was a nice surprise. It was a bit dusty, but it's a nice place. One of the few places in Bulgaria with shower separated from the floor.

Good hotel for business trip. 5 min. drive to Sofia International Airport /the hotel provide shuttle with No extra cost/. Good size, very clean rooms. Excellent breakfast. The restaurant itself is OK. Thanks for the hospitality to the all employees crew.

The location by the airport with an airport shuttle is excellent. Clean and modern rooms. A/C controls only in the range of 20C to 25C. Restaurant on site has a decent menu. The hotel is in an industrial zone, and it is not a walkable distance to anything.

Spacious apartment. Close to the airport- 4 min drive. Very clean bathroom. Free parking. We had an apartment. Individual AC units in both the living area and bedroom. We requested a crib and one was provided and waiting for us which was a plus however it had a very soft mattress not suitable for a baby, maybe just for 2+ yr old toddler. The soap dispenser in the bathroom was empty. We had to get...

Perfect location to Sofia airport , good hotel room. Shower is a bit odd, would have expected a better browse. Hotel amenities rather limited. The price per night was high compared to what you got and compared to other hotel chains. Breakfast had good selection and nice ambient in the Restaurant. In the Restaurant the chopska salad was fantastic and the duck breast really excellent .Risotto dishes...

Room was unbearably hot because management lock the aircon on at what they choose and refuse to let you control it. Can't open the window due to noise so you have to just cook

I have stayed at a number of Sofia airport hotels and to be honest all are very good but I think this one is my new favourite as it is so close to the airport only 5 minutes transfer which was efficient and on time. The driver and reception were very friendly and I was made to feel welcome, the rooms are spotlessly clean and large and the hotel has an airy atmosphere quite relaxed with a nice bar ...

The staff is very good, very responsive and very helpful. The hotel is located in a somewhat hard-to-reach place (such as in industrial areas near warehouses) and 10 minutes from the nearest bus stop. But with google maps it is easy to find. The rooms were clean and tidy. The only problem was that it said we had breakfast, but one day the restaurant was closed and they give you breakfast in a bag...

comfortable room, available parking, quite location, good price, very poor breakfast, lack of restaurant

Wonderful customer service, suitable for business trips, free parking. The staff is really well mannered and organized, definitely good price considering everything.

Good location for 1 night stay. It's easy to reach from the highway if you use Google Maps. The room was ok for 36 euro (dbl b&b), bed is super comfy, but the staff is a drawback. In fact it's not different than anywhere else in Bulgaria. Breakfast was poor, appropiate for the room rate. Parking is big and look safe. So, final verdict: choose Astra if you have a car and don't wanna pay too much for...

Great place for business purposes, near the Airport in Sofia. Good value for the money, clean, local breacfast, free parking, definitly recommending it!

Perfect! Excellent! I'm very happy with this hotel! I come back for sure! The bathroom was big and had an amazing shower, the chamber was very big and it was very calm in the hotel. Breakfast was some slices meat and cheese whit some vegetables and 3 slices bread. The bread was disgusting haha xd; and coffe or tea ofcourse! The hotel is close to the airport and a 20-25 minutes walking to the stores...

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...

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..

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...

The restaurant, meals and professional service deserve recognition. I really enjoyed my short stay there.

For the cheap price of the hotel, it wasn’t expected that it would be amazing. It was okay for what it was. It was outdated and only one elevator worked. The room was clean however there was no double blanket for the bed ( two singles which I found in the wardrobe ). The bathroom was alright apart from the fact that the toilet had a leak at the bottom which stunk really bad once it built up. There...

Well we arrived after leaving a hotel in the centre as we wanted to sit outside and use the pool.... Now you look on the website at this hotel n you think perfect..... Well nothing about seasonal pool nowhere really to sit as pool area closed and garden the size of a handkerchief Very disappointed and they even charged us for 2 coffee satchets Basically look elsewhere.....

Good clean bright hotel only issue was.. NO Parking area so no secure parking if you are in a vehical.

Good clean bright hotel only issue was.. NO Parking area so no Isreal if you are in a vehical.

Friendly staff, clean and cosy rooms.

Cheap and cheerful. Perfect for a very short stay

Nice, clean place. The price is also good and its near airport. Only negative thing is that there is no restorant in the hotel.

We looked for a hotel with a parking area and near the airport. This was a wonderful choice. We took 10 minutes to the Sofia airport the next morning. Our room was perfectly clean and very spacious. The bathroom had everything we needed.

Great place for dinner with friends. Delicious food on top floor with nice view ✨

Location was really close to the Asics Arena and had multiple food places nearby. The rooms were quite basic but they were spacious if a bit unclean. Good value for money and there was a good choice at breakfast. All the staff were really helpful.

The stuff was nice, especially the young lady at the reception. Very helpful and always smiling! Breakfast very good! The room was clean, the mattress was comfortable, although the air conditioning did not work. I stayed two nights and overall I am very pleased! There is a beautiful park next to the hotel which I also recommend! I will come back there for sure!

I would like to say my impressions are amazing for the price which we paid. Thanks a lot for this lovely and helpful staff on the reception. The room was clean tidy smelled good and was warm. Good welcoming the breakfast was more than excellent for more or less price of 6€. The restaurant on the 6th floor was super tasty and the chef prepared and cooked everything on the spot. Thanks a lot and actually...

The reception was very nice and friendly. Didn't feel the room was sterilised. There was body hair in the bath top. It was tidy but the sense of clean just didn't get that feeling. Had to try the key card many times to open the door, very difficult. 5 minutes. Noise from the traffic in the morning but that is normal for Sofia. The layout of the hotel is nice and invite to comfort.

Overall a nice hotel. The staff was friendly. The room was nice. I wish the bathroom had been a little larger. Other than that, no complaints.
