Ξενοδοχεία κοντά σε Sofia City Center, Σόφια

The hotel was fully self-check-in with auto-locking doors, and no staff were present! Great value for money. There's a hairdryer available. However, the Wi-Fi wasn't working well, so I couldn't use it. They said it was under repair, so I recommend checking its status before booking! I booked a room with a window, but it couldn't be opened, and it was dark even during the day. The photos were taken at check-out, so it's a bit messy, but it was very clean when I arrived! This hotel is recommended for those who will be out and about all day, from morning till night!

Having stayed in many 5 star hotels across the world, I had high hopes for the Sofia Balkan Palace, that unfortunately were only partially met. First let’s cover the good points! It feels historic without being old, and you feel like you’re really in Sofia. The best thing about the property is easily the location; it’s close to all the main tourist attractions, and there are good transport links right by the hotel, as well as access to some fantastic restaurants, coffee shops, and stores. The hotel rooms are modern and relatively clean, with the usual amenities. However, I was disappointed that housekeeping kept forgetting to replenish the complimentary daily water, as well as pay attention to the ‘Do Not Disturb’ light that I had selected for my room on a few days during my visit. I would say that one of the downsides is the customer service; although staff aren’t rude, I wouldn’t say they’re polite or overly helpful. The hotel has average soundproofing, and I was far too aware of the music outside, my neighbouring guests talking or listening to music in their rooms, as well as guests in the hallway (which is in part due to the layout of my room, which did not have an additional door between the bedroom and front door into the room). The noise outside does lessen and stop by about 11:00 PM, and sometimes by 10:00 PM (depending on the day). Overall, I’d still say it’s a good choice for your stay in Sofia. Especially if your priority is staying in a historical boutique hotel in a good location.

Extremely impressive for how cheap it is. I’m sure you can get nicer but for an adventurous traveller, I’m not spending time in the hotel only to sleep! I could walk into town so I was very happy indeed with this!

The hotel's location is truly central in Sofia. It's close to the main business district, and Vitosha Blvd, with all its restaurants, is within walking distance. I had no complaints about the hotel facilities; they were perfectly satisfactory. I personally opted for a breakfast-included plan, but I would have appreciated a bit more variety, especially with salads and other vegetables.

This hotel is quite suitable for business travelers. The staff at the front desk are very kind and friendly; they always help me arrange a taxi whenever I need one, which is really heartwarming. I'll definitely stay here again next time.

Rooms are spacious. Amenities are sufficient such as shampoo, shower gel and slippers. Breakfast has many choices. Reception helped us print the boarding pass, very helpful and friendly.

Hotel is just a few minutes walk away from the cathedral and walking distance to all the sightseeing spots. The front desk is open only from 8am to 5pm but staff was not necessarily there all the time. They answer phone calls so I recommend getting eSIM with number so you can call staff when you needed when they are not there.

갹실 수가 많지 않은 호텔이지만, 많은 여행지의 그 어떤 호탤보다 훨씬 훌륭했습니다. 힘들게 캐리어를 끌고 로비의 문을 여는 순간 , 제 이름을 불러주며 밝게 미소짓는 직원으로 인해 피로가 싹 사라졌습니다. 지하철 역까지 350m, 트램과 버스 정류장까지 100여 m 거리라 교통이 매우 편리합니다. 지어진 지 오래되지 않아 시설은 매우 편리하고 깨긋하였으며, 매일 아침 청소 서비스도 흡족했습니다. 조식 또한 매우 신선하고 맛있는 음식으로 마련되었으며, 부부로 보이는 중국인 주방장의 친절함 또한 너무 좋았습니다. 매일 교대되는 직원들 모두가 항상 웃는 얼굴로 도움을 주려고 노력하는 모습은 타지에서 얻은 여독을 스르르 녹이기도 하였습니다. 소피아 자체가 호텔 이름처럼 무지재처럼 아름답고 신비한 곳이었는데, 호텔에서의 만족도 또한 매우 높아 아주 즐거운 여행을 할 수 있엇습니다. 다시 소피아를 방문한다면 저는 단연코 아우로라 소피아에서 여장을 풀 것입니다. 4일 동안 행복했습니다.

Excellent hotel located right in the city center, a short walk from Serdica metro station. The room was spacious and comfortable, with very large beds. The green marble bathroom was beautiful.

The hotel was clean and tidy, everything was great, the only minor issue was the difficulty in adjusting the air conditioning in the room.
