Central location, walkable to everywhere

Pros: Professional friendly staff Great location Fabulous big room overlooking the front of the hotel
Cons: Maybe some advice in advance on renovation works or the offer to move guests away from the noise
Location: Right in the centre, shopping is 5 minute walk away, 24 hour resturants/bars, casino in the hotel
We had a lovely 3 nights in the Sofia Balkan Hotel, the staff are all amazing, really knowledgeable and friendly! The Hotel is right in the area you want to be in, walk-able to shopping, bars and restaurants. We walked everywhere! The was improvement works going on on our floor, creating banging and noise from morning until evening, however this was contained, and we were out all day, anyway.

everything is perfect and i would book the hotel again. as well the breackfast buffet is rich, good and nice and the staff very friendly and professional. the only minus point is, that the gym was out of order.. the location is great, Vitosha street and shopping area are close and there is a lot of discover around of the hotel. As well many restaurants. I can recomend the hotel. I was very happy with my stay.
