Reviews and Ratings
Staying at the hotel was a wonderful experience overall. The rooms were spacious with beautiful views, but the stay got a bit hot even with the air conditioning on. The service was exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff catering to all our needs. The location allowed us to explore Sofia city center easily, though the dining experience was somewhat cramped and could be improved. The facilities were satisfactory, enhancing our stay. Overall, a great option for a comfortable and convenient stay in Sofia.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were very spacious and comfortable with a nice restaurant, and the staff was exceptionally professional and polite. However, the night was disrupted by noise, affecting my sleep quality. The hotel was clean but slightly outdated in appearance.
Staying at this hotel was a fantastic experience overall. The rooms were large, comfortable, and well-furnished, making it a great space to relax and work. The bathroom was a particular highlight with its separate shower and bath setup. However, the dining options didn't quite meet the expectations set by the hotel's name, and some may find them a bit overpriced. The service, though promised to be top-notch, fell short in some aspects during my stay.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were very big and comfortable with a luxurious modern bathroom, although we encountered a cigarette smell in the bed initially, the staff promptly moved us to another room the next day. The service was outstanding, with every amenity imaginable provided, including a fantastic breakfast buffet and exceptionally friendly and professional staff. However, there were moments when the staff could have been more welcoming and less disinterested. The location was perfect, right in the center of the capital, near the cathedral and all main sites, surrounded by plenty of restaurants and shops. The dining experience offered a variety of high-quality dishes, especially the breakfast, which stood out compared to other 5-star hotels I've visited. Overall, a great choice for staying in the capital of Bulgaria.
The hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms with all facilities, overlooking the Ivan Vazov Theatre. The calm ambiance and kid-friendly environment make it a favorite choice.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were very comfortable, clean, and quiet, offering a non-smoking environment with a lovely balcony showcasing beautiful views of the park and square. The service was professional and friendly, making me feel welcomed throughout my visit. The location was unbeatable, centrally situated near the city gardens and only a short walk from Vitosha street and several touristic sites. The dining options were varied and delicious, complementing my overall experience.
The Grand Hotel Sofia is truly a gem in the heart of the city. The rooms, though a bit tired, are large, clean, and very comfortable. The service was exceptional, going above and beyond to rescue my holiday from a travel mishap. The location couldn't be better, being central and close to main attractions. The dining experience offered a variety of local specialties, but the space was a bit cramped. Overall, a wonderful stay with great value for money.
