Where to stay in Sofia

Perhaps it's my fault for not reading the initial listing for Guest House 32 closely enough, but I was unaware the toilet and shower were shared. The ******* listing is confusing because it clearly states: "Extra conveniences in all rooms include: Rainfall showers and hair dryers". Yet my room did not include a shower or a toilet and was right across the hall from the single shared toilet. They...

Simple and efficient Very good location close to many reasturants , bars , etc ... Nice area of Sofia and walkable to main momumments/attractions. Good choice for small budgets

Nice and clean place to stay in a good location.

Great place, can't say anything wrong, it's a wonderful place to stay in you want to do tourism and live in the city centre

Amazing hostel, clean rooms, toilets and showers. You cant have a friendlier host: very helpful, kind and suggests good things. A great place to stay for sure!

Had a fab stay at Casa Ferrari with Ludmil giving terrific potted history over Bulgarian breakfast every morning. So different to our history and experiences in Australia. The bnb is spotless, great location, handy to main sights of city and easy, cheap public transport options to visit nearby mountain for walking. Street is off the main drag, so relatively quiet too and on the ground floor, a bonus...

In a quiet neighborhood, with a short walk to the key historical sights. Good access to transport. Clean and complete facilities. Very gracious host. Definitely to recommend.

Casa Ferrari is a well situated B&B located within walking distance of the heart of Sofia. After nearly a month in Greece visiting family, it was a welcome respite for my grandparents and I. The place was clean and cozy, with antique furniture and a private bathroom. Ludmil, the owner and caretaker of the B&B, has lived in Bulgaria his whole life and is knowledgeable about just about anything you...

Amazing B&B in central Sofia. Our host, Ludmil was so great! He was there when we arrived from the airport and the apartment is super well conserved, and the bed and the bathroom were in very good condition. The best part was the bulgarian breakfast we had prepared by Ludmil with an extra conversation about Bulgarian history that we enjoyed a lot! Highly recommended!

The owner is a nice man who is very knowledgeable on Bulgarian history and very helpful as well. Place is clean and quiet and has some good use of facilities in an area not too far from city center

We had a great 4 day stay at Casa Ferrari. The room was large and spacious, bed was comfortable with a bath room en suite. It was always clean. Our host 'Lucy" could'nt have been more helpful and kind. He did the breakfast for us each day treating us to different Bulgarian breakfast pastries and breads each morning. He was also very good at sitting with us and telling us about Bulgarian history...

The room is clean and breakfast is great! All staffs are friendly and I was so glad to chat with them. Definitely worthy experience!

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Hotel is in good location

The location was very central, within walking distance of the main attractions, yet the hotel itself was quiet and pleasantly removed from the street noise. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, and the rooms were clean and well maintained. We also really appreciated the breakfast service, where you can choose what you’d like to eat and specify the time it’s served.

Incredibly nice and welcoming staff, even being willing to have breakfast ready in time for a very early flight the next morning. Good room and a very convenient location, but the service is what shines through and puts this hotel far above the rest.

Staff is very nice and polite. Hotel is very nice and elegant. Breakfast can be improved a little bit more with a wider choice,but it is ok. Room was very nice, big and clean but it was a too cold and I had to run the heating for full stay to get it a bit warmer. Overall is a good hotel

The hotel is great. The rooms were very nice and clean. Hotel staff is very polite, helpful and friendly. The location is great. There is metro station just down the street. Most places in central part of town are within walking distance. I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone planning to visit Sofia.

4 star rating but mainly because of unbeatable location compared in this price range. The beds were okay and the room was not small and even had some couches. Bathroom was allright but small and had no shower wall/curtain so everything got wet when showering. Check-in was fully digital and went smoothly. Haven't seen any staff, so can't judge about that. Wifi service was bad, 5g reception was good...

The location is excellent and surprisingly quiet for such a central area. The room is spacious, tidy, and clean, with fresh towels and an extra duvet provided. Access is very convenient via a door code. Right next to the hotel, there’s a large pharmacy and makeup store, a supermarket, and plenty of restaurants and bars. However, the place could improve by providing clearer information about the reception...

This place is extremely quiet and conveniently located, allowing you to enjoy peace without any disturbances. The location is easy to find, and the receptionist is very professional. The premises are clean, and the simplicity of the design is quite appealing. Overall, it offers great value for the price.

Really nice stay here. First bit of advice would be don’t get put off by the frontage. Lot nicer inside. Our room (no.1) was big, nice decor. Location is spot on. Right in the mixer. Would have given it 5 stars if not for a hot water issue with the shower which we were told was due to age of building. So if you’re showering do it quick! Oh also the bar it shows on the website is actually underneath...

The location is sooooo good. Great place

Don't be put off by your initial impression of the entrance to this very well located little hotel. Clean rooms, nice shower and a massive bathroom. Right in the city centre and close to the underground. The outside of the building could do with a little TLC but it's money well spent. I'd stay again.

I think it was the most pleasant interaction with a hotel. It's not really luxurious, but the rooms are very clean and larve. The bed is very comfortable, the bathroom is again very large. The host is a very welcoming person. The location is very good and the price was insanely good.

The staff was kind. The hotel was close to most of the popular sights. However the room was not the best. The mattresses were not very clean, the beds were almost one with the floor. The bathroom was ridiculous. The sink wouldn’t work without activating the shower head. So you couldn’t wash your hands without getting your shoes and pants wet

Very nice place! The staff was nice, great room, clean. Close to city center (but still quite). Nice garden to sit.

The room was clean. The owner is welcoming. The position is perfect. I think the price is very good. (No elevator)

Clean and comfortable rooms in the center!

An excellent service. Very quiet and nice hotel in the top center of Sofia. Definitely I will visit again. Highly recommended.

We arrived in the middle of the night, get some rooms. Not the cleanest, not the prettiest but hey! We have roof above the head. Good location though.

Good, the room was nice. Clean, have TV, the reception staff was kind. Also have a restorant on the entrance. The only negative thing is no left but the location will compensate sure for this.

Convenient to the bus station and a cut above the surrounding neighborhood hostels. The concierge is very accommodating. The walls are thin however and the decor somewhat disco-ish. Also the restaurant downstairs plays dub and rap constantly. Perhaps OK if you like that at breakfast?

Lovely hotel, big spacious bedrooms which were nice and clean. Shower room was also large and clean. Room had remote controlled air conditioning that's wasn't to noisy. View from the balcony was really nice at night, but when the morning came the view was something else with the mountains in the background. Would definitely recommend this hotel and if I go back to Sofia I will be staying here again

It is a small ish hotel, the room was clean although on the smaller side. It did the job of one night stopover before our very early flight the next day. The hotel is very close to Sofia airport - a huge advantage for us. A word of advice: book your taxi in advance - the night before - for extra piece of mind. The hotel does not offer meals, which was not an issue for us anyway. A disadvantage is...

Fiyatına göre iyi Fiyatına göre iyi. Temiz. Ses yalıtımı yok odalar arasında. Gece resepsiyon yok ama sorun olmuyor, tüm giriş talimatlarını gönderiyorlar. Park yeri sınırlı ve ücretli.

Good Nice small hotel, near to heart of the city, nice location. For one night is good.

Very clean beds and washroom. Great place to stay if you just need to crash and are traveling all day.

Excellent budget hotel Very clean and comfortable. Nice style. Nothing in the way of amenities, very simple, appropriate for the price. Excellent budget hotel. Service was excellent. The fellow at the counter was professional and very helpful.

Surprisingly good! Fairly priced, rooms are clean, lady at the check-in desk was adorable! Very considerate and helpful!

Hotel Saint Nikola Boyana offered an extraordinary experience from start to finish. The setting was beautiful, with immaculate grounds and elegant rooms that felt like an art museum. The service was flawless; the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. It’s impossible to imagine a better experience – we left feeling refreshed and already dreaming of our return!

good value for money, very friendly lady at the reception, sandwich and coffe were included for breakfast, the whole hotel is like a museum

Very professional and kind staff great hotel with great value and good parking. Cosy quiet and close to the city centre. Highly recommend

Restaurant is very good and food. Stuff friendly. But rooms are on the street, no air in room. For one night just ok, but we could not sleep because of all night and morning traffic outside. So, as i said stuff nice but we will not come back again. I am not recommend for family.

The pictures are accurate and i totally enjoyed my 2 night stay. Its a family run boutique hotel and they are very helpful. I was always geeted with a smile and conversation. My room was clean and comfortable with excellent water pressure and very hot water. Breakfasts we good and of sufficient size. They have private parking. Personally i enjoyed the 70s Austin Powers feel and i would definitely return

Nice and well-heated room, friendly and helpful staff, fairly central location

Good to stAy for budget travellers,cannot expect too much for the price

The photos on booking.com are quite deceiving. Unfortunately, it has serious problems with cleaning, neither the sheets nor the towels were changed for 3 days, and when we ran out of shampoo and toilet paper, we had to go and ask for it ourselves, even though there was only 1 small package of shampoo. But the location is nice and the staff is friendly.

I arrived late at night with a friend and the receptionist greeted us very kindly. Explained the door lock situation and we went to our room. The room looked pretty basic but clean I guess. The one thing I would like to complain was the smell of the towels. I just didn't use them for five days straight and had to air dry every time I took a shower. Once I woke up in the middle of the night and unconsciously...

Really lovely place to stay. Great for a solo traveler. Super friendly and helpful staff and beautiful rooms

The room I had wasn't as hot as you would expect in the middle of the summer, without AC. Also the wallpaper, furniture, and old faucets gave me a mid-20th century vibe. For a 2* hotel, it could be great. I am lowering the rating because they asked me to give my key whenever I left the room. Then the walls that were not covered by wallpaper were peeled off or mouldy. This hotel would be great if...

We was for few days in Bulgaria and Sofia, happy for this location we was accomodate in a best Easy way from the manager. Thanks a lot to leave us a good vibes of your beautiful Sofia.

It was a great place to stay. Neat, clean and calm. Very near to center. Room was spacious, warm and clean. Thanks for the good service.

Really great location and lovely hostel owner. Very accommodating for us. Quiet stay.

Close to Sofia centre & great value rooms, great manager, clean comfortable & warm! , with a kitchen for coffee ☕ in the morning , or to cook breakfast.

(Visited 14/08/2025 - 17/08/2025) It's really great for its price! Very central location in Sofia, close to the center of Serdica, 5 minutes from the metro station, with many cultural sites and museums to visit nearby, as well as restaurants to eat, so it's very convenient location-wise! It's definitely an old building and it looks like it, but the room we were given was cozy, quiet, comfortable and...

+ Location pretty close to the centre. + Toilet tissue was provided very fast! + Kitchen with basic appliances and cutlery. - Late check-in fee of 5 EUR. - Bed was very soft and on the second day it became uncomfortable to sleep in. - The room/place that was initially booked was not available anymore because we were arriving after 8pm. Overall, the place is alright for a short period of time since...

There are certain things which can be improved, actually. The overall ambience is ok, the rooms & bathrooms are neat and tidy, however when I rang to ask for directions (I was nearly there, just couldn't see the entrance), nobody picked up. It was only when I reached the building after walking back and forth, then they called back. Secondly, it was advertised that there is a breakfast service,but the...

Very affordable. Strong mouldy smell in staircase and in common bathrooms. No smell in rooms. Plenty of heat and hot water in shower. Noise from the street if your room is facing the street. Friendly staff but normally there is no staff on premises.

Peter Pan is not a real hostel but an apartment with rooms to rent. It is in a good position, it is very clean but it is lonely not lively as a hostel. The owner is very nice and helpful and gives good tips on where to go for meals and sightseeing.

Excellent apart-hostel in a great central location in Sofia. Located close to tram and bus links and even within walking distance of many central Sofia sights. Staff very amicable and helpful, contactable by text and meet you when you arrive in Sofia. The room we booked was clean and spacious and also came with free water and croissants for breakfast which is virtually unheard of at that price point...

We booked for 3 beds room just for a night. The room was clean, warm and quiet. The owner friendly and helpful. The spot is very central which means that you can see many things by walking. I don't give 5 stars because the wc wasn't so clean. Also when i made the reservation the prescription of the hostel was saying that they provide free transfer from/to airport. But unfortunately it costs. Otherwise...

A very pleasant hostal in an excellent location. It has no on site staff but the owners are very helpful and quick to respond if you have any queries. The front door is on the main street next to a coffee kiosk.

Nice location. Reception at 3rd floor and no elevator. Don't have shampoo and body wash. Cheap price so it is okay.

l loved the receptionist, exceptionally good his english on top, he can accommodate everyone better hive him a raise 😆

I enjoyed staying in Bla-bla hostel. The hostel is located in a very convenient place: close to subway, cafes, parks, monuments and wide boulevards. It is kept clean and tidy. Receptionists are nice and cleate welcoming atmosphere. There were a few hiccups during my check-in, but they all were resolved in my favor by the receptionist. I think it is very important The only problem for me was that...

great location, friendly staff, and super social atmosphere. Bonus surprise: free waffles on Monday morning! 🧇✨ Perfect budget stay in the heart of Sofia.

Good place to crush for a few day’s time. Staff was friendly and roomies were cool (mostly travelling foreigners).

I only spent 1 night in Sofia and stayed in Bla Bla hostel. The only excellent thing about Bla Bla hostel is location. It is in the center of city, close to attractions place

Great for a quick stopover. The staff was very friendly and always ready to help. Bus from main train station, line 60, stops in front of the hostel.

15 min to center with car, i saw buses right in front of it.

Good location if you are coming with your car. Nice rooms. Also good connection to the city center with a public transport.

Totally worth the money. 54 lev . The stuff very friendly. And it was clean no bugs no dirty bedsheets . And free soap for bath . Very satisfied

It was worth for the Money you pay. Do not expect good conditions but since it was a cheap hostel, I didn’t have big expectations. So it was okay. Room was not enough clean, bed mattress was dirty, you can’t open windows as they won’t stop flies to enter room, no air con. But it was a place, easy to find, low prices, people were helpful.

Good price for the rooms that they gave me. I got a clean room with a fine bathroom. Near a large supermarket and bus stations! staff is helpful and kind!

Pretty good experience. The employee Julien was super cool and led an great bar crawl. We went to so many places that were invisible from the street but had amazing atmosphere inside. Thank you to him for letting me keep my luggage There while I was out for a day.

Very cosy place, very friendly. value for price. very nice people and very helpful. nice breakfast, clean place. also, i forgot my headphones when i left on my way to the bus station and i asked them to arrange to bring them to me before my bus leaves and they did everything they could so i could get them back. I definitely recommend and I will definitely go back whenever i visit Sofia.

I had no place to sleep and very low budget: Hostel Mostel was the best thing I could ever wish for a last minute booking. The Team does a big effort to clean daily the rooms and provide all the assistance needed. People are very friendly. For a little extra there is all you can eat big Breakfast in the morning. I am writing daily in my diary the incredible people I am meeting. Hostel Mostel is a...

Lovely communal area and large rooms. I stayed at the second building but still felt very welcomed when visiting the social reception building. Owner and the guys running it were very responsive and helpful, get hostel to stay at would reccomend, good location

The 3 things keeping this place going are the staff who are genuinely excellent in terms of hospitality, the price...on certain days, and the location - aside from this, the place is getting really grubby. The Google pictures look so much nicer than it actually is now. There aren't enough showers....I counted 2 showers for the whole hostel and our room which was semi under construction was almost a...

Teo and Des are just INCREDIBLE. The hostel is run by these great guys. They are very professional and helpful. I needed a new pillow and Teo sorted it out straightaway. It helped me to sleep properly for the next 7 days. INCREDIBLE service from TEO. Absolutely top guys. Two and Des have gone above and above. I will come back again to create some more incredible memories.
