Hotels near Ivan Vazov - Monument in Sofia

The location is great in the center. You can also go to the main tourist attractions on foot or by metro. There is a supermarket on the other side of the street. There is also a Bulgarian restaurant nearby. There is bathtub in room, too and is convenient. I think the area is rather wide. It was a pity that the restaurant was undergoing renovation work and the breakfast had only simple things such as sandwiches, but it was a good hotel when considered in total.

Hotel location is good, 500m from Lion Bridge, the room decoration is older. Restaurant and service are ok.

I stayed at this hotel during a dance festival and this was actually one of the few advantages of this hotel (all the workshops here held there). Cleaning ok. It is very cold in room (I slept on a sofe near the windows and I could not sleep because of the cold and the noise coming from outside). Breakfast is quite poor in terms of options (if you decide to have breakfast after 8:30, you will see that there is not much food left and they do not bring more). Also, they charge you for the parking. the card does not work when you want to exist the parking and since the doorman does not speak English it is quite difficult to explain that you have already paid for the parking.

Se scegliete ARTE SOFIA HOTEL farete una scelta stupenda per il vs soggiorno a Sofia . Hotel in una posizione perfetta ( a ridosso del Parlamento e a pochi mt da metro e dalla movida di Vitosha bld.), le camere essenziali ma pulite e hanno tutto , compreso il kit di cortesia . E parlando della pulizia , un grazie allo staff che un pomeriggio ho voluto riposare mettendo il cartellino per non farmi disturbare eppure , anche di pomeriggio sul tardi ,mi hanno cmq riordinato la camera . Alla reception sono tutti estremamente gentili e sorridenti ( cosa che a Sofia non è cosa così diffusa) : ti consigliano , ti aiutano e sono carinissimi . Un grazie particolare a Miroslav e alla sua collega che stamattina 6 febbraio stava al.suo posto . Colazione nella norma e c'è scelta di dolce e salato. Se proprio devo trovare un difetto, è la mancanza di canali italiani nella TV in camera Grazie a tutti per il confortevole soggiorno

We have just returned from a 4 night stay at the Best Western Terminus Hotel in Sofia. What an amazing hotel this is, on the doorstep of a fantastic public transport system. The hotel is around 1 mile away from the downtown area. Don't let that put you off, the tram stop is directly outside the entrance. The room was spacious and had all of the necessities to ensure that we had an enjoyable stay. The fridge was a really useful addition. The bed was huge in the king room!! The housekeeping staff were great and serviced our room daily. The breakfast was a continental buffet style. Again, this was a great start to the day and was included in our room price. A good selection of hot and cold options. There is no bar area in the hotel however there is a fridge in the reception area where you can purchase alcohol and non alcoholic drinks to take away to consume in your room. All of the staff members that we met were professional in their conduct and were polite, friendly and helpful. We loved the luggage room availability - as we had a late flight, the staff agreed to look after our luggage so that we could enjoy our final day in this beautiful city. The hotel price was an absolute bargain. This alongside the quality accommodation and friendly/helpful staff makes this a great choice of hotel. I would highly recommend and will return here in the future. Don't be put off by previous comments about the area around the hotel. As in any city in the world, you need to be vigilant. We had no issues at all. We found the Bulgarians to be extremely polite and welcoming.

The hotel is located on Vitosha Boulevard and is well placed for the numerous bars and restaurants to be found on the long pedestrian *****. It's also within walking distance of all the main sights and guided tour start points. Our room was spacious, as was the bathroom, and the bed was very comfortable. The majority of the staff were very helpful, especially Nikolai on the Reception Desk and the dark haired waitress in the restaurant (I didn't get her name). The one negative is that the breakfast options are rather limited and the breakfast waitress was grumpy and rude (although Nicolai picked up on this and had a word with her) - that's why I've given 4/5 as opposed to 5/5.

The staff at Grand Hotel Sofia deserves the highest praise for their helpfulness and attentiveness, going above and beyond to ensure my every need was met. Their warm and accommodating nature made me feel like a valued guest throughout my stay. The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the spacious and beautifully decorated room. The tasteful decor, plush furnishings, and meticulously chosen artwork created an atmosphere of elegance and comfort that exceeded my expectations. Additionally, the room service at Grand Hotel Sofia was exceptional, offering a delectable menu of dishes that surpassed my expectations. Each meal was flawlessly prepared and delivered promptly, further enhancing the overall experience. Grand Hotel Sofia provided an outstanding stay with a dedicated staff, remarkable room decor, and exceptional room service. I highly recommend this hotel for an unforgettable experience in Sofia.

I've never stayed anywhere else in Sofia so cannot comment on whether this is great for Sofia, but international 4* standard, it isn't. Most of the staff are lovely, apart from the member of staff who decided one evening that we were not allowed to have a glass of wine in the lobby bar because the bottle of wines were ”reserved” and ”for show” (the excuse changing from one minute to the next.) He couldn't explain who or why they were reserved or for show. The room servicing is, *interesting*. They say in the information in the room that the rooms are serviced daily. On the first day it wasn't serviced at all. The second, I asked it to be serviced and the towels replaced which they did but then (not joking) they screwed up the cover on the bed and put it in the corner, made half an effort to pull up the duvet, emptied a bin and did nothing else. Coffee and tea making facilities in the room is a real plus but they were not refreshed / refilled during our stay either, even when the room was ”serviced”. The bed was comfortable but one of those fit together beds rather than a true king size. It was huge but possible to get a bit caught in the middle. That said though, we didn't struggle with noise as other people did. The breakfast is fine. Typical central European type stuff and not the best quality but fresh fruit is always welcome. If it's a choice between room only at a cheaper price, I wouldn't recommend paying extra for it though. The door lock was a bit temperamental. It's worth checking it's genuinely locked behind you as ours didn't unless we carefully engaged the catch. There are safes though. The lifts were a bit dodgy as well. One obviously breaking down from time to time during our stay and be warned you need your room card to go up or down. Location wise it's superb and I'm not saying I wouldn't stay there again but for the price, which is not cheap for Sofia, the service needs a bit of an uplift. Also some attention to detail in the rooms would be good with a slight tear in the voile, wallpaper lifting etc. For British visitors though as this hotel is part of a Cooperative organisation, they have pictures of the first Rochdale COOP in some of the corridors. A funny little quirk if you know Rochdale. It's not the place you'd choose to decorate anywhere.

A superb and very stylish option, centrally located in a smart neighbourhood. The staff are exceptionally friendly and very helpful. The room was superb, though there seemed to be a bit of an issue with the plumbing…a bit of an unpleasant odour. Housekeeping came daily and were very thorough and there’s a room turndown, not something you see everywhere these days. The rooftop bar is very popular so do book, even as a guest of the hotel. The cocktails are very good, the menu is merely a guide: if you have a favourite, ask for it, they may well be able to make it for you. I also had a massage at the spa. First class!

The location was fantastic. Near Vitosha boulevard and the city center. Everything was easily accessible and all kind of services and shops were pretty close. The room was comfortable and cozy. It was equipped with all the amenities you could answer. Everything was clean and fitted well. The breakfast was ok. Nothing exceptional but the main things were always present. And in the end the highest marks go to the staff that were very kind and friendly. I would definitely choose Niky Hotel when I return to Sofia.
