A good breakfast spread , yes , in room cleaning was and is very poor , when I checked in I saw a cigarette box plus some empty packages of the previous renter … dosent say 5 star does it .., otherwise the hotel is superbly located and you have everything from eateries to high end shopping all around the corner … staff some are the smiling type and , some just do their job in a rather mechanical way .. I would rate the hotel very highly for its location and for its breakfast spread

For a 5 star hotel, I think this is okay. The hardware is generally good. The building is beautiful and nicely renovated. Rooms have modern facilities and smart features. Front desk service is very good. House keeping seems to be inconsistent - missing towels, empty shampoo container etc. A quick simple trip to the front desk resolved the issues.

Grand hotel with classy decor. The smart switches and curtains work well. Beds are comfortable with good linen. Front desk staff is competent and courteous. House keeping is a bit inconsistent - often took our bath mat and not replaced, empty bath gel container was not refilled etc. It was quickly resolved by talking to the front desk though.

Staff offered a “free upgrade” to a junior suit, we had to wait an extra hour and a half for our room to be ready. When we got given our room the room did not look like pictures at all. Yes it was bigger but the “upgraded” room was outdated, dirty, and to be honest creepy. It was like the rest of the hotel had been refurbed apart from this room, it was hidden away down one of the corridors. The room also had an issue with a loud buzzing sound, which we complained about and thankfully we got moved to our original room booking. I don’t know how staff thought it was an upgrade. The standard room was fine, and lovely, looked like the pictures. Do not book the junior suit.

We had a fantastic experience at Sophia Balkan Palace. The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of Sofia, making it easy to walk to all the major attractions, restaurants, and shopping areas. The breakfast was excellent with plenty of delicious options, and the staff were consistently friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout our stay. We truly enjoyed our time here and would happily stay again on any future visit to Sofia.

Ideally-located at the centre of Sofia. The hotel is nice with good facilities, although just check you are not in a room next to the lifts as that can be a bit noisy.

The hotel is in the very heart of Sofia, close to the main Station and many landmarks. It was really easy to move around and a safe area too. Vitosha Bulevard is just 2 minutes down the road, full of restaurants and shops. The room was excellent, spacious and the bed comfortable. The shower was heaven and they use an outstanding brand for their gel, shampoo, body lotion, etc. Shout out to the girls in the bar at night, very patient and handling diffiuclt customer with so much grace. Thanks to all the staff that made me feel so good on my birthday and treated me like a princess. Thanks all, I will be back for sure!
