Cari Hotel 3-Star di Sofia

Situated in the heart of Sofia, it is just steps from the Central Sofia Market Hall and the Sofia Synagogue. The Serdika Metro Station (direct link to the airport) is only a 5-7 minute walk away.

Pros: The hotel design is very modern and clean. The staff are nice and friendly and do everything they can to help you. This hotel is big on sustainability. They don't leave plastic bottles in your room. Instead, you have glass bottles that you can fill up everywhere in the hotel. Every floor has a drinking fountain where you can fill up your bottle. The food was absolutely amazing. Breakfast is not a buffet. On weekdays, you have to choose between a Bulgarian or a French breakfast. At first, I was disappointed that they didn't have a simple option like an omelet; I went with the Bulgarian option. It was fantastic. Everything was fresh. On weekends, you only have an omelet option, which was also great. For dinner, I got Sea Bass and it was also great! I am fully satisfied with the food served at this hotel. The only criticism I can give is that the breakfast serving window is very small and late (8:30 am to 10:30 am if I remember correctly) and you have to wait for more than usual to get your food. Cons: The rooms have tile floors, which look cold but are not since I believe they use floor heating. The problem is that they don't offer slippers, which I don't like, since the same tiles continue into the toilet. It doesn't feel clean. They also don't offer toothbrushes which I would have really appreciated. I had to unplug the fridge since the compressor made a lot of noise when turning off and on, and I'm a light sleeper. Overall I would recommend this place if the location suits you, just bring your own slippers and enjoy the food!

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. The management kept telling me that it’s my fault, despite the fact I never before have had problems with card payments before. Breakfast food was decent, with a choice between a couple of set menus. The hotel was clean, rooms were quiet, and it was situated and in a convenient location, within 3-4 minutes from the nearest metro station. Some of the photos on their site are dated, as the interior is different now.

A clean room, Very close to Sofia Central Bus Station, Need to walk 15-20 minutes to city centre

Great location for travelling, 10 minute walk to Central Bus & train stations. Just off the main street so quiet. 3minute walk to the subway, where you can go 5 stops to the end of the line and take bus 66 up through the pine forest of the Vitoska mountain & ski lifts. We had a double room with a small balcony that was fine. Just asked reception & got a kettle & coffee,& sugar. The bathroom has been refitted with new towels & was spotless. The room carpet is probably next for changing It seems the cleaners used too much insecticide which left a lingering smell. The breakfast was 3 minutes walk to a sister hotel. There was a good choice of cereals, fruit, breads, cakes cold cuts etc It's not luxurious but great for a couple for 3 mights

Останавливались на одну ночь, номер делюкс на 7 этаже. Хороший отель. Отличное месторасположение. Удобные кровати. Вкусный кофе из капсульной кофемашины. Из минусов: в нашем номере интернет ловил только у входной двери. Плохо работал душ. Ночью шумновато из-за технических помещений и систем кондиционирования внизу на улице.

A lot to love but some big problems too. Amazing location, great big room, and very easy check-in. Love that there's a sofa in the room and a fridge. Problems: - A/C (Or a pump of some sort) extremely loud from 6am in our room (3) and made sleeping impossible, extremely annoying. It lasted hours. - Bathroom had a bad smell like sewage, constantly. - No shower curtain turned the bathroom into a lake every time we showered, even when trying to be careful.

Wanted a cheap place for my weekend stay, and this place also looked cute. Whilst the rooms were fun, the general hallway and shared spaces were not so clean. Despite being told there was free luggage storage, this was unavailable when I arrived - I wasn’t even given a key to my locker in the room. One guest had told me his shoes had been stolen on his first night, so you can imagine I was concerned for my luggage as I could not store them securely. Ended up checking out early, finding a cheap hotel that promised privacy and security.

From 1935, this grand old lady works well. The cold war leaves it a little down at heal, but the water is spot on, breakfast good. They have a mini bar unlike some chains so there is a fridge in room to cool drinks as well. Opposite a ministry and it is location, location and location as the Islandic consulate concurs Central, quiet and very perfectly formed

Nice hotel. Location in a student area. Would need to travel to get to the city centre. Heater/ac makes noise. Because it’s cold we needed to leave it on. Other than that, everything was good.
