The rooms are not that good as on the picture. The mini bar was completely empty, also there is no kettle or even cups... or anything to make a tea or coffee. My room viewing was on rear side , where also have a building work and was very noise. On my booking shows like breakfast is included , but on the reception, staff say 'it's not". ... I'll not visit again that hotel !

No AC, poorly maintained.
AC doesn't work at all. Uncomfortable stay as a result. The shower is falling apart with tiles literally moving on the walls with huge gapping cracks.

Very happy with my stay at Hotel Festa! The rooms were ok, but my room didn't get clean one time even though the tag was left on the door knob. Very pleased with one of the reception guys Velizar - he is very nice, friendly and provides an exceptional customer service! Special thanks to him!

In general I would recommend the hotel due to the good balance between price/quality. Though, there are some small things which could be improved like: the mattress of the bed needs to be replaces, as half of it wasn't very comfortable due to heavy usage; the bathtube needs some maintenance, as when you have a shower lots of water flows down on the floor; there were towels for 1 person only, although the booking was for 2 people.

Most staff were only good for Bates Hotel. I spent five LONG days cooped up with the rude, unhelpful lot, there was only one decent guy and girl on reception, the others wouldn't get a job sweeping floors in an English one.

Very convenient hotel to Sofia city.
Decent and professional looking hotel. Stay was pleasant. Air-conditioner could have been better. Room walls cold have better sound insulation. Restaurant was old-fashioned with long table clothes that almost tripped me. Very well connected to Sofia city centre by tram line and buses. Taxi is cheap as well. Nearby to Bulgaria Mall.

Not that bad, but noisy
Overall the hotel is ok, however it can be quite noisy due to some music in the hallways that you can hear inside the room. When I complained I was told that there is a hotel-wide sounding system with loudspeakers on every single floor that they cannot switch off completely (unless they want to). There is nothing wrong with the music per se, unless you are a hard-core dedicated Eros Ramazzotti fan as they play only one record all day long:) At times, it can be quite loud so bear in mind if you book the hotel for business and need to work during the day!
