"This by far is the best Ibis I’ve stayed at! Great location close to airport and free shuttle 24 hours a day! The breakfast spread is definitely out of this world! They even give you a to-go bag if you have to check out early like we did! They included a fruit and a sandwich! Will stay here again! "

"Close to all transport links, and only 2 metro stops from the city centre. The hotel was as expected - modern, clean & comfortable, but the best thing about it was the staff. Without exception, every member of staff we spoke to went out of their way to help and ensure we had an enjoyable stay. "

"We always use this hotel, not only for its convenience for the airport, ( it is only 5 stops on the meteo from the airport), but because of the friendliness and professionalism of the staff, who simply can't do enough for you.
This time, we also used their long term parking facilities, which were very competitive, compared to the regular off-site airport carparks . "

We probably needed more time given the snow and the dent that put in our exploring on foot. The food was surprisingly good and there were ample choices to be found all over town. Prices were very reasonable. We found the Bulgarians very friendly.

Sofia was excellent as a destination for a short break, taking in some football matches in the city. The Metro and buses were clean, reliable, and we felt safe at all times. Friendly people and very good value for money.

If you have mobility issues Sofia may be challenging, road crossings often lack dropped curbs, and some of the crossings across busy roads in the centre require you to go underground via stairs.

There are a number of historical sites in the city and the shopping centres (Mall of Sofia and Serdika shopping centre) were not bad. A very tidy place but you do have to be prepared travel to monuments like Boyana church and Rila Monastery.

The location is close Mt. Vitosha with the big National History Museum, Boyana church and lots of hiking paths. Depart early on weekend because it gets crowdeed later.
"I stayed in a double room on the top floor which was beautifully decorated with art work, including the cushions. It had a fridge and kettle. The free bottle of local wine was a welcome addition. The bed was very comfortable. The staff were excellent, helpful and friendly. The hotel was in a good location, 5 minute from the underground and no more than 20 minute to walk to all major tourist attractions. I would definitely stay again if I went back to Sofia."
"The property is a bit dated but the price cannot be beaten! With very good breakfast choices! A bit of a walk to the center of town but still manageable. Would recommend it!"
