Hotel berhampiran Spoluka Gallery, Sofia

Sveta Sofia is a traditional hotel in a quiet pedestrianised street in the city centre. All staff are very friendly, courteous and helpful. The receptionists speak excellent English. Rooms are big and include a settee and coffee table as well as fridge and coffee making facilities. There is constant hot water and great water pressure. The hotel is very clean,including the breakfast room. Rooms are cleaned every day, towels and sheets are spotless. Its true there is no bar or outside space but it is so near lovely roadside cafes you really dont miss out. The breakfast is varied and plenty of it - self service but you can get an espresso made by the restaurant manager. Because the hotel is in a pedestrionised street, there is zero traffic noise. In fact there is very little noise as the bars are not in this street. It also feels safe here which I think is important. I highly recommend Sveta Sofia if you are thinking about visiting this lovely city.

Hotel is indeed located in the very centre of the city, 3 minutes away from metro station. Rooms are spacious and clean. Mine was also quiet. Breakfast buffet is surprisingly poor, I enjoyed more the dinner eaten in the restaurant at the top. It offers beautiful view to the mountains and the city. It is small though. Staff is OK. I was surprised by some aspects: soap dispenser was placed far away from the sink, so it actually required a small walk; out of 3 light control panels only one worked, so there was no way to turn off the lights when in bed; info next to the mini bar (nicely stocked) said that each guest has the right to one coffee and tea capsule (I think tea bag was meant for tea). Never experienced it in hotels of this level. There was no iron board and iron in the room. Both were brought really quickly though after calling the reception.

Hotel a poca distanza dal centro, la posizione perfetto, il personale gentilissimo . Camera grande, spaziosa, con tutti i comfort e soprattutto pulitissima. Devo ammettere che una pulizia così l’ho trovata poche volte, il bagno splendente! Bottigliette d’acqua fornite tutti i giorni, la colazione è passabile, c’è poca scelta di cose dolci e il caffè non è un granché. La nostra camera affacciava su strada ma era silenziosa. Letti comodissimi. Tornerei sicuramente.

This is a great new hostel concept for Sofia and Bulgaria. Its nice to have a fully enclosed bed (with curtain) which add to privacy, when sharing a room (dorm) with 4 other travellers Furthermore there are several lighting options within the actual bed area full and dime lightening, However, I was allocated a top bed in the dorm, I did find it hard at first to get in and out. Perhaps I am just too old for the hostel concept! - No seriously, it was very good for a hostel. The room was air-conditioned and seemed to work well. Great exchange with fellow travellers in my room, the benefits of staying in a hostel. Our external bathroom, was directly opposite with several showers and toilets. However, one facility was out of order. There are two different kitchens on different levels. I checked in at the allocated time - at first there seemed to be some problem with the reservation. I had prepaid my reservation, though Trip.com, but the vast majority of travellers use hostelworld.com, which only require a deposit, with the remaining payment given at the hostel. This created some confusion at check-inn. The hostel is very close to the main railway and bus station (10 min walk). However, this hostel is quite far from the main tourism zones and sights of Sofia, which is about 45 to 50 walk. However, there a several trams & buses to get you there - maybe little a bit confusing for first time Sofia traveller. Overall, I highly recommend this hostel.

ソフィア中央駅から歩いて10分程度の距離にあり、中心地にも歩いて行ける距離、スーパーマーケットも近くにありと立地は良いように思いました。 キレイでない訳ではないのですが、全体的にホテル内が暗い印象でした。カーペットや照明の影響かも知れません。 サービスも悪くはないですが、受付の方が少しぶっきらぼうというか、無愛想な対応でした。ブルガリア人の国民性としてシャイな方が多いとのことですので、そういうものなのだと思います。 アメニティはシャンプー、シャワージェル、固形石けん、バスタオル、フェイスタオル、バスマットはありましたが、ティッシュや歯ブラシ、スリッパ、部屋着等はありませんでした。ペットボトルに入ったお水も無いので、アメニティとしておいてあるコーヒーやお茶を飲むときは水道水か自分で買ってきたお水を使う必要があります。 朝食はどれも美味しかったです。 食事の補充や下膳の担当以外に係の方は基本的にはいないようで、それぞれ自由に使って利用して良いようです。

the room was satisfactory at a whole, esp with the little balcony attached for a small laundry zone, electric water kettle for making hot tea, a small refrigerator for use, a big plastic bucket in bathroom and hair dryer provided. The lightings are bright enough. TV also offered a few channels. if a microwave or a small oven could be provided by the hotel for customers reheating their takeaway food or bread, alongside with a mini size folderable tea table, they would definitely earn an extra score by all customers.

I'll start with the positive points first: - I'll start with the positive points first - The minibar and the drinks at the bar are cheap Now the negative points they are effecting mostly the rooms: - The carpet is dirty and the rooms stink. Most probably they never changed the carpet since the hotel was build - The air conditioning was installed later. The hose to dispose the water from the air conditioner goes through a hose into the bathroom and ends above the bathroom floor. this means that the bathroom is always flooded when the air conditioning is on. this is definitely not acceptable. - The room cannot be darkened because the fabric of the curtains is very very thin and translucent. As soon as the sun rises it is not possible to sleep. In my case it was around 05:30AM when the sun came up. This point bothered me the most because I didn't get enough sleep on my business trip. I have visited the hotel Hemus regularly since 2017 when I have not been able to get a room elsewhere. in 2019 they had done major renovations, but I still don't understand what exactly was improved. the points just mentioned above have not been resolved. only the tv was exchanged for a flat screen and the bracket for the old tube tv was removed. Maybe this was the reason of renovation. I hope that someone from the hotel will read this as a general overhaul is urgently needed. Especially with the carpet and the curtains. There's no point in choosing a hotel to relax after a long meeting day and can't even sleep because of the windows that can't be darkened or the smell of the carpet that has never been replaced.

Had a wonderful stay this winter. Very quiet and pleasant place, the room was clean and tidy. Breathtaking panoramas over the snowy Sofia mountains. Definitely check out the rooftop bar! I highly recommend both for business visits and tourism. It took only 12mins from the airport of Sofia.

Room is a bit old style. TV is small. Shuttle to airport not on time for my reserved time (Waited 30+ min), but not sure if this is common. Breakfast is great (considering the grade of the hotel - a variety of hot options). Great view of city and parking lot in room. Friendly staff.
