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 to bring your own

The carpet was extremely dirty from beige had gone black, spoons were missing in the cups. the bath also seemed to never been bleached, and some of the staff members told me to go and buy myself cleaning stuff to do it for my room, literally terrible experience. They told me that room is on the refurbishing process before check in which I didn’t really know I thought it will be just be an old fashion room but it turns out to be old fashion room that was never cleaned nothing to do with refurbishing or construction work just very dirty I felt sick.

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.

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 room and they had a very large selection of items and all the food was delicious. We'd definitely stay here again in the future!

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. The breakfast is decent, with a variety of options, though not extraordinary. Overall, Hotel Rila Sofia is a solid choice for those seeking a central and reasonably priced stay in the city.
