3 star hotels in Sofia

A very nice hotel in a high-rise, not too far from the Palace of Culture, very close to a shopping mall. Kind and welcoming staff.

The hotel was clean and straight forward. Friendly and helpful at the front desk and cleaning staff. The cartering/food staff maybe need to learn some manners though.

Cigarette smoke gets pumped into your room through vents. If you enjoy sleeping in an ash tray this is the hotel for you.

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.

We were a little apprehensive before staying here as the reviews were quite mixed, but honestly we can’t understand why this hotel has been reviewed badly in the past — our experience was fantastic. The room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. It was a little warm when we arrived, but opening the window quickly sorted that out. The bed was extremely comfortable and the shower was excellent...

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!

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.

Excellent stay! The hotel's location was super convenient for an event at the nearby stadium – easily walkable. The staff were very helpful and communication was smooth. Plus, the restaurant downstairs was fantastic with great food.

Ckean room. Beautiful view. Convenient transport.

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.

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.

The room was clean, spacious, and odorless, making it a pretty good hotel in Bulgaria. The only downside was the limited breakfast selection, although they did have freshly fried sunny-side-up eggs. I prioritize the accommodation environment; a filling breakfast is fine.

This is a new hotel with private parking. The decor is simple yet stylish, and the atmosphere is vibrant from the moment you step inside. I checked in on Friday night and enjoyed a three-course dinner with local wines at the restaurant. The restaurant has an open kitchen, is very clean and spacious, and all the staff were incredibly friendly and energetic. This was my first hotel stay in Bulgaria,...

Room was spacious and clean, was a bit hot and dense inside. Bathroom was neat. Staff was friendly but you only get 2 coffees in your room during your stay. Food was nice, bar also. Interior is very pretty.

A very unique and a surprising space combining a hotel, bar and a restaurant. The interior is designerish with hip, funky colors. The rooftop area offers a chic experience and it has a cool, chill vibe. Great merchandise also! Worth a visit either for a drink on the rooftop, to spend a night in the hotel or to try their food.

If I could give this hotel 6 out of 5 stars, I would. For the price, you get exceptional service, all the amenities you could need, and a clean, modern, and very pleasant environment. The reception staff were friendly, attentive, and happy to help with recommendations. Our room was spacious and modern, and the rooftop terrace was a real bonus, perfect for a coffee or a dip in the pool. Getting to...

The place is superb - it is an exciting combo of design and intention of everything happening here. The service is very attentive and make you feel like home immediately. I absolutely fell in love with how much work been put into creating a vibe like that. Well done the owner! Highly recommended!

Good location for travel and chill out.

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!

The check in procedure takes more than 40 mins. At the beginning , the front desk said that he cannot find my reservation and ask me wait until he at last find my reservation. Otherwise, the hotel is excellent!

Bokked this hotel multiple times, and have never been disappointed, nor have I been particularly impressed. In general cleanliness is ok, although that time,.some rust in the bathroom snd black marks on the wall near the bed gave some bad taste. I guess it's because.some rooms have not yet been res Freshes, while many others have. Overall ok for price.

Good hotel , friendly staff. Easy transportation.

Location is ok, receptionist was polite and helpful. Room and sheets were clean, the only problem is the property needs update.

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 booked the hotel for only one night stay. Early in the morning (5:30) there was no warm water to take a shower before my flight. Really disappointed.

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

I didn’t like the hotel. Beds are very soft, bathroom very outdated. Rooms are small. Good breakfast!

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...

Clean, quiet, with free parking, and a large supermarket nearby.

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...

The hotel is great, highly recommended, 5-star rating.

Room was cozy with very comfort bed. I had working air conditioning. The TV had like 5 chanels but maybe it was only in my room. The wifi was fast. The receptionist was very kind. There had no noise at the night and place was very calm. I didn't like the location because I had job at the center but for price I paid this place was good.

The hotel is good, rooms are decently sized and clean, it is on the outer part of the city but there is a Lidl conveniently located next to it.

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!

Good location and Good Breakfast

Very good location, just next to the walking street. Room size was not big but not too small either. Breakfast was good. Very convenient to explore the city.

The room is old, but clean. The air conditioner is a bit loud.

It was our first stay in Sofia, and we couldn't have picked a better hotel.

Nice staff Perfect location Good variety breakfast Just the air conditioner not working properly in our room

Excellent small boutique hotel, very clean room, good location and fabulous buffet breakfast

In a quiet area, it's a comfortable hotel, with very helpful reception staff. The balcony, sunset views was appreciated.

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

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

The hotel is worth the price. Close to the metro.

We stayed at the hotel for one night. Everything was great, but the beds were a bit old and the springs were uncomfortable. The cleanliness was excellent. You can easily walk to the center from its location. The staff were very polite and helpful. I would choose this hotel again if I were to go back.

The accommodation, although short, proved adequate; it was clean, and no one spoiled the atmosphere. The only thing I didn't like was the marketing technique they used to display the photos here on this website, which aren't 100% accurate.

good hotel for price and location, and nice breakfast but poor cleaning, and very low mattresses. for price they ask they could do bit better

Stayed here for a couple of nights earlier this minths while visiting Sofia. The positives were: *Location was pretty decent and near Opelchenska Metro station. *While the room was dated it was clesn and the bed was comfortable. *Reception staff spoke good English and were helpful. The Yellow cab didnt worl and they ordered a taxi *Really good shower. However some things did let this hotel down:...

Me and my partner are here for 3 night for my birthday weekend. We just need a cheap hotel nears things to see, so the rest of the money can goes to exploring. I think you get for what you pay for, and one room is not the same as the other room. That's why they're are good and bad review mix. The location is perfect to go here and there that's all. The reception area looks very fancy and well kept...

Front desk was very helpful on directions to local sites & calling taxis. Room was good for a couple of nights. A continental breakfast is included & there was more choices than I would have expected. There is also an onsite res't for dinner, which we had one night. The service was very good & so was the food & the proportions were large. A 10-20 minute walk to attractions.

Really cute small hotel. If you extect the luxury and extras of the 4 and 5 star hotels, you won't find them here (and you are NOT being charged for these!:), but you will have all of the basics that will make your stay comfortable. Room was clean and cozy, staff was super friendly and helpful, wifi worked great, and mind, I was using VPN for work. Having the option to eat breakfast right at the hotel...

Hotel is well placed close to the Vitosha Boulevard in the city centre. Room was large and comfortable and had a large bath as well as the shower. Breakfast was perfectly adequate with a lot of choice. The immediate area is a bit scruffy but this applies to all the central side streets and is not unusual. Area is very quiet and safe. I found the hotel's central location was very convenient. It is also...

The food was average, but the honey was delicious. It's clean and conveniently located, and within walking distance of the tourist attractions.

Excellent small hotel in the 'cheap and cheerful' category right in the center - clean, comfortable, friendly staff, and good breakfast. My only reason for the 4 star is that I carelessly left behind my computer charger and adapter in the wall, only to realize a couple hours later that I did so. When I called the hotel to collect them, there was no record of them having been found - I hope the cleaning...

The hotel itself has an excellent location quite close to all main attractions in Sofia along with vitosha blvd being so close where all best restaurants and bars are located. The staff were super friendly and helpful along with rooms being nice and spacious. major complaints were that the air conditioning was not at all working well as expected given how hot it was when we visited. The other major...

Loved this place! Staff were super helpful, the room was spotless and cozy, and the location couldn’t be better. Everything was so convenient. Definitely worth it!

Good service and room. No correct information about parking. Two blocs out of hotel with prise 15 evro per night on private parking. No any information about this cause before employment.

The room was spacious and soundproofed well.

The front desk service was excellent, especially the night staff.

Great location, easy to get to from airport. Quiet and comfortable. Breakfast next door was good.

The location was brilliant, a short walk away from the centre or many public transport options including bus, tram or metro right at the door of the hotel. The room was spacious, with comfortable amenities. The staff did a great job of replenishing soap/towels on a daily basis. The room was always warm, made it nice to come back to after a day of exploring.

A rather grumpy receptionist didn't make us feel welcome, but the rooms were a relief. Spacious, comfortable bed, bath tub and a narrow but adequate balcony. The view of the old houses is interesting. At night very quiet.

The hotel room was good and spacious, and it's very close to the Lion Bridge Metro Station. I'd definitely recommend it. The Wi-Fi was good, and while the breakfast selection wasn't huge, it was decent and served until 10:30 AM.

The staff ladies are very attentive and patient. The bedsheets are clean, the towels too, and they smell good. There is hot water 24/7. I appreciate if you can replace the old, lumpy mattress. But it was not so bed after all. It is close enough to the city center, and far enough to sleep quietly at night. I did not use the restaurant/breakfast service so I have no review on that.

Very clean quiet hotel with a room bigger than expected. Quite affordable for the purpose I needed it.

Convenient location nice hotel great staff

Great hotel with friendly staff

3 minutes away from centre Lovely little hotel situated in a quiet street 3 minutes away from all the activity of Sofia. Very pleasant reception manager wo was also very helpful. Excellent rooms for the price, roomy and air-con. Breakfast only average but considering the price still very good value for money

A pleasant stay at this hotel. Cleanliness was good throughout. Breakfast was varied and interesting but hot items were little more than room temperature.

Clean basic hotel Basic hotel in quite good location. Friendly staff and clean room. The view from balcony was not the best one.

Pleasant part of Sofia Nice hotel two short blocks from main walking and shopping street, 7 short blocks from primary antiquites. Beware of rip off taxis prevalent in Sofia!

Great location, spacious rooms and helpful staff. I stayed in two different rooms a few days apart (201 and 504) and I appreciated the balcony and amenities in each. This place is a gem, and I’d definitely stay here again if I ever come back to Sofia.

Good hotel in good neighborhood. Walkable distance from downtown. Would have been great to have some vegan options for breakfast.

Good location and easy access public transport. Most city attractions are within walking distance.

The concierge was very polite and pleasant. The room itself is large. But they need to replace the cleaning staff. They don't clean. Hair in the bathroom, stains on the doors... There was an unpleasant smell in the restroom... but the bed was clean and the linens were fresh 😌 I didn't take photos because I didn't have time... I stayed there for a couple of hours.

The location couldn't be better. The facilities are a bit old, but they have everything you need. There's a large balcony, and I quite like this Eastern European style from the last century.

It's convenient to go anywhere. There's a restaurant and bar next door, so it's convenient, and there are many facilities nearby. The front desk staff are also very helpful.

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.

Amazing. Excellent hotel. Staff amazing, very attentive. Great breakfast. Nice pool. Couple of minutes walk from beach.

Clean and comfortable, conveniently located, great family room. Breakfast best avoided unless you are able to get there right at the start - food less than warm and nothing gets topped up. Plenty of better options locally. Staff very friendly and helpful. Overall a good stay with my family.

It's located near the Train Station that's why we booked it. But we never used the train (or tram) because we liked to walk, that way we could see more of Sofia. We did use taxis at some point and taxis are cheap in Bulgaria. The hotel was small but the our room had a big space. It's not luxurious but it's not cheap looking at all. The room was facing the street. That entire side facing the street...

We spent two nights at this hotel. Good location; very close to the metro station. Staff was very cooperative when we faced an issue and had to change rooms twice. Room was spacious and clean. Breakfast had good options. Free parking was very convenient.

Ordinary standard but very nice small hotel.

The hotel is located just several minutes away from the main train and bus stations. Rooms are large and double bed is huge. Some elements in the room might be impractical for some people but certainly not disastrous (basically a wet room and not a shower with curtains, low bed and sofa, huge windows that can open just a little bit) but overall it's a very good value and we are glad for staying there...

I stayed at Hotel California and had a very pleasant experience. The hotel has an excellent location, perfectly situated between restaurants and public transport stations. It is also within walking distance of the American, Chinese, and Moroccan embassies, which was very convenient for me. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. The room was very clean, well organized, and comfortable, with...

Situated in a quiet residential area (Lozenets), parking space on a nearby parking lot (5 mins). Friendly and helpful receptionist. Room was a bit cramped because of the placement of a useless fridge (making use of the couch impossible). On a brighter note, the bed was perfect and because of the quiet location, good sleep is guaranteed. No breakfast option. English spoken.

We booked a studio for 1 night. The bathroom was really dirty - the bathtub was not cleaned and the jets and drain have probably never been deep cleaned, the toilet had poop stains - overall disgusting. The furniture was old and the chairs had dark stains. For 1 night it was okay-ish for an okay price but if I had to stay more and needed to use the shower, I don't know what I would've done.

Very pleasant stay at Hotel California. The hotel is clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The staff was friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with a smile. The room was cozy and quiet, and the location is convenient. Overall, a great experience – I would happily stay here again and recommend it to others.

Nice and cozy hotel in a quiet area. It’s a bit dated, but everything works perfectly and the rooms are spotless. Excellent service and a great price for what you get!

OK for one night stay OK for one night stay. Staff was polite and helpful. Bed was comfortable. Very outdated room in need of total renovation. Hairs all over the bed and towels.

Very Good Value for Money. Room is clean and cozy. Self check-in is available for those coming past 7pm. I contacted them via WhatsApp. Bed is comfortable. The comforter could be bigger tho. My room is on the first floor on the other house at the back. Kettle is available if you want to make your early morning coffee or tea. There is also a mini fridge. A/C is also available and iron for clothes. ...

Quite okay. The price is okay for budget traveller.

They tried to charge us 50 euros for a blood-stained towel. Luckily, they changed their mind after we insisted, which is just insane!

Small nice hostel , 10-15 mins walk away from the city center. It’s perfect for a short trip, Room is clean and comfortable , the stuff is super friendly and very helpful.

Good location, tram station in front of hotel but the night vibe a bit scary because no reception at night

Very good location, just above the metro station. Clean and spacious rooms, friendly staff.
