Hotels Near Резерват „Дендрариум“ in Sofia

Upon arrival at the reception we had problems with the prepayment; It was not possible to pay the price without the prepayment already provided, after about 30 minutes it was possible in cash, not the preferred card payment; the employee justified this with a new computer system. The room was not air conditioned upon arrival and was quite warm; the shower does not drain normally and quickly fills up to the brim; The beds are a kind of box spring bed: for me (about 85 kg) the mattress was not comfortable. There was only few toilet paper upon arrival, so I called the reception after it was finished, but after about an hour nothing was delivered - not to be expected for a 4 star hotel! The bathroom fan is a bit noisier than I expected and should usually auto stop after a while (although it was connected to the lamp, it usually happens). The thick curtains easily detach from the suspension when closing, and the small room fridge is much too loud (noticeable at night). When exactly is breakfast should be in the folder (I didn't see it at first glance) I liked the breakfast, the orange juice could be freshly squeezed, there should be milk (and lactose free) next to the muesli, and there should also be gluten free bread, but overall good quality of the products; we didn't try the restaurant for dinner due to the high prices. fitness room: Directly the first machine on the left (for legs) doesn't work and it hasn't changed during the week's stay, although we complained, the note with this information had fallen under the bench, so not visible; but otherwise the hall is in good condition The pool is small and during the stay they closed it, it was soon announced that the pool heating would be repaired: heating at 35 degrees outside air temperature? Incomprehensible! I tried to speak to the manager but he didn't seem interested. After we asked for a discount because the pool wasn't working, at least they took away the note the next day. All in all, this hotel did not overwhelm us and we will not visit it again: high standards and beautiful pictures, but unfortunately no coverage in reality.

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.

This hotel was practically next door to the Serdica ancient Roman complex, so as soon as we had checked in, we went out and roamed among the ruins for awhile. But it's actually a perfect location for all your exploration, walking tours, historic sites, etc. The breakfasts were served in the little restaurant on the 1st floor, and it included lots of options. The staff were helpful and friendly, including giving me directions to a laundry, holding our luggage for awhile on our leaving day, and other courtesies. We recommend this hotel, and would stay there again if we ever go to Sofia again.

The Balkan is a old style hotel in the center of Sofia over a metro station and 1m from the pedestrian area. Nationa Gallery, Synagoga, Moskea are at walking distance. Hotel is not bad as itself if you like carpets and Impero style fornitures but without WIFI connection in the rooms on the last part of the corridors. Breakfast is huge and of good quality. The Waiters Mafia is dominating the floors and if they say ”No”... it's final. We asked for bathrobe for 4 days and was ”No”. We asked for shampoo and conditioner for 3 days and was ”No”. We had a coffee in room and the dirty cup stayed there for 3 days. All above despite the calls and attempts from the consierge desk to solve the issues. Minor issue: the Waiters Mafia is controlling the elevator also... many times the cleaning trailer was moved using the guest elevator (big) instead the service elevator (small).

The Hotel is in an excellent position, just 10 meters from the Metro stop, allowing easy travel throughout the city. Our room was spacious and fairly clean (we found a large cobweb); but above all very hot: throughout the hotel the heating is set to 26 degrees! Fortunately, radiators are adjustable, and the problem can be solved. The structure does not have its own breakfast room, and relies on the café next door: considering the price asked for breakfast, and the poor choice offered to customers (you are entitled to only one dish each, being able to range between, in all, 4 savory and 4 sweet options...) then it is better to give up and decide to start your day elsewhere. It's a shame because the cafe itself isn't bad.

The view is average, the room is tidy, and there is no smell. It was recommended by a colleague. I went to try it out. The facilities are quite complete, but there are no slippers. It is said to be an environmental protection requirement.

The hotel is only more than 1,000 meters away from the airport, but the road is a bit winding, it is better to take the hotel’s airport shuttle. There is a timetable for the hotel shuttle bus, but there is no one to take the bus; the hotel is easy to handle at the airport, make an appointment with the front desk, it is no problem to leave on time; from the airport to the hotel, if you don't call in advance, you may not be able to wait for the bus! The breakfast was good. The hotel has a parking lot, which is very convenient for self-driving.

Missed the connection and had to book a hotel near the airport. This Ibis is fine for the night on a stopover but not much to do around. Still ended up going to town to eat and have a look around so would have been just as easy, and a bit cheaper, if I would have picked a city hotel. The room was two single beds and nothing much else included, reasonably clean but still expensive bearing in mind it is Bulgaria. Fine for late arrival and short stay if booked early.
