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.

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!

The entire hotel was AMAZING!!! Everything was wonderful, staff, the car service, breakfast, vicinity of hotel, metro (although, we didn't use; it's right outside the front door) etc. I traveled with my 13-year old daughter and it was situated in a safe location. I highly recommend staying here if you are visiting Sofia!

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 Yes it was bigger but the “upgraded” room was outdated, dirty, and to be honest creepy.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.

Parking is a bit of a issue, multi-storey car park near by is the best option, Room was not ready at 3pm check in time. Very central hotel so location was perfect.

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.

Great hotel, very well located, especially to the metro (90 seconds walk) - the only thing that let us (and overheard others), the hot food at the buffet breakfast was consistently not hot, they need to work on that. Other breakfast items were perfect, fruits, pastries etc.

The room was okay, spacious and fancy But the pillow cases are teared up, found some hair in the towels, and the light and curtains control is not the best, the room didn’t had the perfect sound proof windows or doors as i can hear people in the corridor talking, also i could hear the sirens from the streets

Room was amazing, very comfortable and the view was incredible. Only a few minor cons. The laundry service is very expensive, the building is on centralized air and in winter won’t allow you to go below 23*C so the room got quite warm, and the bellhops did not offer any help with the luggage on check in (only appearing after a suitcase got caught in the revolving door and I had to press the emergency stop).
