3 star hotels in Sofia

The lovely gentleman at the front escorted us to our room, and we had a welcome gift of cake! The view was breathtaking and the panorama restaurant on top of the hotel is both delicious and has another beautiful view of Sofia. Highly recommend this wonderful hotel.

The staff were very kind and helpful. The hotel restaurant and breakfast were delicious. The room was also clean and tidy. Thank you.

The staff are very welcoming happy to help in any way getting taxis etc was not a problem asked for a room upgrade and was very helpful loved my stay here.

very sweet service, and location is closed to city! Highly recommend this Hotel if you plan to go hiking (Aleko hut) afterward.

I was looking for a hotel in the outskirts of Sofia and after reading reviews for other properties - same stars category but with much lower ratings I picked up this one. It did not disappoint. We booked a standard room but we were upgraded - I had a personal occasion and this was a nice touch. The staff was kind and attentive. Our room was bigger that the rest on the floor, it looked well maintained...

The hotel was very clean and in an excellent location. It was quiet and peaceful. A top hotel! I highly recommend it, and the price is more than reasonable!

This is NOT a 4-star hotel! Honestly, giving it 3 stars is being generous. It's well-located in the center of Sofia, just a short walk from the Serdika metro station. The main issue is that the property is quite old, and it definitely shows. Overall, it was clean and quiet. For my two nights, it was fine.

The hotel is very conveniently located. It takes only about 20 minutes by the M4 metro line from the airport. The hotel is in the city center, making it easy to get around everywhere. The staff are very kind and extremely helpful, especially through WhatsApp. I’m very impressed!

The hotel is centrally located, warm and clean, and exceeded my expectations in every respect.

Hotel close to the pedestrian area , room very cleaned and comfortable

Perfect. Good location, clean and quiet. Free coffee. Check-in and check-out were uncomplicated.

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.

In the skirts of Vitosha Mountain, just outside Sofia, a peaceful haven beyond the capital's hustle-bustle. Great views, excellent facilities.

Nice facilities, good landscape and fine general complex layout. The guy at the reception desk was not cheerful and yet unfriendly. Besides that, in general we enjoyed our stay. We couldn’t try the spa, hopefully next time. Open buffet food was okay. Pricing is decent and reasonable.

We’re very glad to find this hotel. Perfect room with a quiet nice view from the balcony and really fresh air. Comfortable bad—sweet dreams 😊 Delicious breakfast: enough for men😉☺️ fresh fruits, coffee, other drinks. We used it just for one night on a road home. But, it was great🤗 There is a pool and a bar in the territory.

Rooms are old, full of spiders and spider webs. Bead sheets are old and with holes, needs renivation. Uncomfortable beads Good breakfast, very nice area, very nice parking. It is good except for room cleanliness and old run down furniture and low hygiene.

Very good option for staying outside sofia, with free parking. Small buildings with spacious rooms. Restaurant, bar, spa; even an event hall (which hosted a VERY loud celebration). [Again: need to reach thevminimum number of characters.]

I was booked into this hotel by the dental clinic that are doing my implants. After reading a couple of the bad reviews I think I am in a different hotel! My room is immaculately clean, kettle, complimentary drinks etc and the free toiletries provided are the absolute best I have had free in a hotel. Looking outnover beautiful gardens and there is a supermarket and Lidl close by. I would highly...

A really wonderful place to stay just south of the centre and right by the Metro station and a good shopping centre. Our second visit, and we would happily stay again. Really great staff and lovely rooms.

Best hotel in Sofia,very polite and helpful staff,rooms are cozy and very clean,the atmosphere is very friendly and don't miss to visit the lobby bar. Definitely I will come back and recommend to anyone who wants to feel like at home.

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.

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.

This my the best family hotel in Sofia. The service, rooms, apartments and the restaurant is comfortable, clean and near to the airport. Good breakfast, nice for dinner and is good when we are with children. Free parking and is practical when I am flying

Excellent hotel! We were brought here by Europe Assistance as our car broke down. We were so lucky! The hotel is nice, pleasant and clean. The stuff are very polite and helpful. Food is delicious. All recommendations for this pleasant and quiet place!

A decent hotel that doesn't possess any standout features. The staff is friendly and accommodating, ensuring a pleasant stay. The rooms are maintained in a clean and orderly fashion, and the breakfast provided is satisfactory. While it may not offer anything extraordinary, it's a reliable option for a comfortable stay.

Nice place and helpful staff. I had some problems with the WiFi the hotel staff resolved it immediately.

A very nice 2(two) star hotel, not a 3 star hotel. Our room was small to the point that it was difficult for my wife to maneuver around the bed to get to the bathroom. The bathroom has a shower but without walls so that the whole bathroom gets soaked when you take a shower. Clean. Quiet. The breakfast is okay, not great, if you do not get there too late, but the person running the reception desk also...

New rooms, but air condition do not work correctly on lot of rooms. Cooling and heating with no control. Interiors are pretty good. Comfort.

Clean, cozy rooms with comfortable beds. Air conditioning, a refrigerator, a kettle, and kitchen utensils are included. The staff is friendly and available 24/7.

Stopped for a night this summer just to get some rest for a longer trip, overall decent. Had a double room, we had enough space - location provides an easy path to leave the city and there is a small park nearby. For quick shopping you have some gas stations nearby. Breakfast was decent but quantities not prepared for all the guests.

The hotel is located at the crossroads of two major boulevards, a little further from the city center. If you want to use public transport, there is a bus and tram stop right next to the hotel. It takes about 15 minutes to get to the center by tram. There is a parking space in front of the hotel entrance. The staff is kind and nice. The lobby is good, there are comfortable armchairs to sit on, and...

We stayed at the Art Simona hotel for 3 nights when visiting Bulgaria. The hotel is about a 10min tram ride from the centre of Sofia. The rooms and decor are very colourful - some with bright paints and some with graffiti. If you want a calm beige hotel room this hotel is not for you. The rooms were clean and also included a fridge. It was quite hot during our stay and the staff informed us the...

There is free parking. The rooms were clean. We stayed on the 5th floor. It is very colorful with lots of graffiti art. But air the room well, the rooms are rather stuffy. If you can, stay on the second floor. The pillows are very thin so you might ask for extra pillows.

The room was clean and tidy. On the other hand the bathroom was small also the key cards weren’t working properly elevator is small and it feels like you will fall.

Good for the price. Rooms/facilities clean. Rooms standard. Breakfast was minimal. Coffee terrible. Wifi signal was also terrible. Free parking was great

Big rooms , bathroom amenities included. I got room on the 5th floor and I could barely hear the noise from the street. Higher is better, I guess. There is check in desk 24/7 and the staff is friendly. The AC is working good and the bed is comfortable enough.

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.

The best hotel I've been to, and highly recommended. The owners are Armenian who made me feel extremely welcomed and felt the personal touch. I was leaving for day trip before the breakfast time and they kindly offered me a takeaway fresh homemade baked breakfast. The location is very easy to reach. About 3 mintues walk from and to European Union metro station (they did share with me transportation...

This hotel is a gem! Very cozy, at a central location, few steps from the Metro. The rooms are sparkling clean. Breakfast is awesome, you get good coffee, great food, and most important the staff is really nice and polite. They make you feel welcome, and you get personal attention.

Excellent choice. Very helpful staff. The hotel is on a central location, very convenient to do walk around, shopping etc. Recommended

Nice hotel,clean rooms!Breakfast is very poor though!There is a good restaurant just behind it,you could watch a magic show with some good food over there.

Very clean and cosy hotel. Nonsmoker rooms. Central near the pedestrian area. 24/7 reception. Friendly Personal. Good breakfast. Parking is not free - 5€ per night

Nice hotel, really good room and rate. Breakfast was simple but lovely. Bathroom was spacious, no bath but a big shower and bed was really comfy, only thing I disliked was the separate bed covers but think that's pretty much standard in Europe.

Great place for a short stay. In the very center of the city, close to everything. Staff were very nice and ready to help.

Perfect location in the middle of Sofia! A pleasant room which I found quiet. The breakfast did not have many appealing options (seems common in this part of Europe). The staff seemed ambivalent to my needs such as laundry (both not offering the service nor providing assistance in finding anywhere to do laundry in the city, an errand I had to abandon)

Fantastic location and comfortable room with A/C which was great as it was 35C when I was there. Steps away from the metro and 5 min walk to the cathedral or mosque. Perfect location at a great price. Would definitely return

Right in the heart of Sofia. Next to the metro and important city sights. The breakfast was fantastic and the staff were very helpful and polite. The beds in all 3 of our rooms were very soft and no-one got a comfortable sleep unfortunately. The toilet paper kept falling apart on me but that's could be just me, the elevator broke down on Sunday morning for many hours. Other than that we had a great...

This a great little hotel. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful ready to offer suggestions on food and sightseeing. Location is ideal for walking around the city center and all the main sights. We will stay here again anytime we are in Sofia.

I was only on this hotel for about 8 hours but it was a great stay. Close to the Metro and very easy to walk around town from. The person working the dean when I got there around 1am was very nice and helpful. As was the man who took care of my luggage until time for my bus to Plovdiv Breakfast has a good assortment of hot items, cold items and sweet options. There was an elevator and mini fridge...

This is my third time staying in this hotel. Welcoming reception, helpful friendly manager ,lovely atmosphere in the the restaurant!! Nice city view from the third floor balcony! I will use it again !

Dream hotel was perfect for our quick night in Zagreb! They were prompt and courteous with the airport shuffle, even with arriving at 1:30AM. The next day, they went above and beyond by dropping us off near the airport where we needed to go. Great beds, shower pressure was perfect and welcomed after a long journey from the States. Highly recommend this hotel!!

I stayed here while getting dental treatment in the area. Lovely staff both on reception and housekeeping. Supermarket, pharmacy and other shops a two minute walk away, also a bus stop right outside. I did not have any food here although breakfast was included as I had a very sore mouth but I did see the food available; eggs, sausages and scrambled eggs, fruit and yogurts and cereal, looked clean and...

I stayed here while I was having dental work done. I found the staff lovely. The receptionists were all friendly even the ones who weren’t that fluent in English. Honestly just try a smile and a bit of happiness towards them!! The room was lovely! very bright and airy! i will definitely stay there again. The sunrise came in all the windows and it was beautiful. Also the housekeeping staff were sweet...

The hotel was fine, but they didn't gave us the double bedroom as we had reserved it on booking, instead they gave us a twin bed room. We had specifically requested a double one, and they just said that their colleague had forgotten to remove it from booking as booked. They didn't offer us any refund or anything, just said 'sorry, we can join the beds', but it's uncomfortable to have a bed split in...

Specious & cozy room, tasty & variable breakfast, nice & helpful staff both in the restaurant and the hotel ? ,... so in few words - I really liked my stay in "Dream" and will be visiting it again! :D DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED!! ;)

Nice location, big rooms but the drain in the shower is very clog and the aircon doesn't work, has an "F1" error, wifi is very slow.

Good value cheap hotel close by to the main shopping street and attractions. Clean rooms, a bit dated but ok.

It's a good value for the price. But it is no frills place - just the bare minimum. There's also no breakfast available. But the rooms are quite spacious. Advice to the management: one small pillow is really not enough.

It was a good experience and hotel is in close proximity to main walking street. Can walk to most of the city attractions from the hotel. I did use the metro to get to the hotel from airport and after that 3 days of walking to cover all the major attractions. I extended my stay and they booked me in the other part of their hotel for an extra night at a lower price.

The stay was very nice and comfortable. The rooms are quite cozy and some of them are spacious. But most of all I'd like to mention the friendliness of the staff, especially the check in counter. Very courteous and super helpful. Eva especially was amazing and helped out with booking a few tours and pub crawls. She made us feel welcomed. Thank you Eva and Team Sofia Place.

The girl at the receptionist Miss Anastasia very kind and serious

Very central area. Good place to stay for a few days in Sophia.

Amazing place to stay with clean rooms, delicious breakfast (with 5* coffee) and a very friendly staff. The location was also perfect for our stay in Sofia. I can highly recommend to everyone!

My Room was OK a little dated, breakfast is fine. Location is good, close by public transportation and a 15 minute walk to city center. Staff where really friendly

It had a good central placement to sights (everything we wanted to see was maximum 25 minutes away). Breakfast was included in the price but was pretty bad (eggs and sausages wasn’t filled up after it was empty, everything was quite boring and didnt taste good) so I would recommend to buy breakfast elsewhere, it’s not worth saving the money. The room had a good air conditioner but overall it wasn’t...

Good and comfortable rooms. It was clean while I stayed there. The reception people could be nicer.

Small money for good location and acceptable commodity

beds uncomfortable for me at least, very clean, they do the job, reception is 24/7 which is good, kinda strange with the restaurant, wouldn't recommend breakfast because you don't get your money worth. Because of its location the prices are good, but the rooms lack natural lighting and the lamps aren't strong with white light. The shower is great, you get your accessories.

Perfect location, cleaned room and friendly staffs, near by hotel there are hidden great restaurants. And don't miss the special coffee shop around there:)

Not obvious at first sight but perfect new rooms, clean, organised, and actually mini-flats, really economic and nice area!! Highly recommended.

Perfect comfort, clean and nice place

Great location. 5 minutes walking from vitosha street, 17 minutes from the free city your. Big rooms, big shower, vary options to breakfast, and the crew is just awesome. So kinda, so willing to help to offer recommendations for every things

I loved my stay at hotel Zenith. I arrived after midnight, but they waited for me and the receptionist was really nice. Quiet night, large shower, good breakfast, close to the center, that was all I needed. Thanks.

It can be pricey, but it's absolutely worth it.

Nice hotel but because of the restaurant nearby its difficult to find a free parking space. Good food.

Exquisit kitchen, outstanding ambient. Prices are a bit high.

Great restaurat ... good food ... near to centre

Bicycle tourist here. Your bike can mostly likely go in the room. I took my bike box inside no problem. The room is carpeted so please be courteous. Hot water, good wifi. Aircon, but I didn’t ask for the remote. There is a safe inside the room. Very close to restaurants and stores. 5 minute walk to a mall. Very nice basic hotel. Very nice staff, extremely clean room. I was really impressed. There...

Stayed there for one night before flying back home. The hotel room could be bigger. Price felt little bit too high, otherwise no complains. Parking is available right infront of the building. Next to it is a small grocery shop, but unfortunately it takes only cash.

The hotel is really nice for the price offered. The location is excellent since it's close to the Sofia Airport and bus stations. The room was clean, big and comfortable. We were welcomed by the new owner of the hotel who was really friendly and the service was perfect.

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.

Very friendly staff, they understand english fairly well, The room was clean and equipped with AC and a smart TV. Kitchen, bathroom and shower is communal. Balcony and a small garden is also available. Good price-value.

the host family was exceptionally nice, offered us free beers on arrival, showed us around, room was spacious, had AC and a TV as well, bathroom was clean but no soap at that time, location is also perfect, the garden was also lovely!

We arrived at 2 am and there was still someone to check us in. Employees were lovely. The room is very clean and the beds comfortable. The shared amenities were very clean as well. You are very well located in Sofia, we managed to visit everything by foot. For the price, I can only recommend !

Most important you'll receive a friendly warm welcome from the host. If you are looking for budget accommodation, centrally located and clean, then this is the place for you. The rooms are basic but clean with towels, soap and loo roll and a comfy bed, TV. Free WiFi. I had a peaceful sleep. (But could do with bedside lamp) Shared bathroom, loos and kitchen, kept clean at all times. Small...

A great hotel to stay 1/2 nights while in transit, the owner just arrived offered us coffee and drinks, he was very nice and friendly, the price is cheap, the room is clean, it has air conditioning, the TV, the beds and pillows are very comfortable and soft, the only flaw is the bathroom, not the best, otherwise highly recommended

Only sigma males resort to this place.

Ideal location to stay for concert at Arena 8888, which is within walking distance. Importantly it has underground parking available for the car. Breakfast was included, but quality was basic.

Excellent basic hotel with breakfast. Friendly service. Within easy reach of good public transport connections from Hotel Pliska bus stop.

Great location! Very close to the airport. The hotel is clean. It is eco friendly, hallway lighting is sensor-based. The rooms come with all the necessities plus cozy wool blankets. The service is excellent! It is friendly and welcoming. Bojidar (his name means God’s gift), the front desk manager, was very attentive, professional and helpful. He took the initiative to follow through on an early morning...

Only 15 min away from the airport. Great hotel for families (we got a big room), easy parking in the street or garage (for 15 lv), in a quite street.

Had an overlay at midnight and tried to find a hotel near the airport to sleep. Stumbled upon this quiet little hotel that is only 10 minutes away from the airport by taxi. Greeted by very friendly and helpful staff who gave us an old but clean and air-conditioned room for a very reasonable price. The shower was good too with the basic equipment. 10 times better than sleeping at the airport overnight

Comfortable and affordable. Staff is good, rooms are really nice, and you will get clean air and a nice view of the city.

This hotel is located to the south of Sofia in the shadow of the mountains. Small, friendly, comfortable hotel it has no restaurant at present but there sre cafes and restaurants nearby. Dont trust the lift it is unreliabile. The rooms are large enough and clean. It is a short bus ride to the centre of Sofia and there are walks in the mountains.

Amazing stay, beautiful views and the rooms are great. Love the village atmosphere on top of the big city!

Cons: -new extra blankets need ( some blankets are very old and looks dirty), --- -toilets look old need renovation -internet is very slow in the room compare to the lobby Pros: -Excellent staff specially Petra and Ivan -Nice neighborhood -Value for money
