Hotels near Plana Paradise in Sofia

I missed my flight at sofia airport so had to book a hotel for one night. So I went for a mid range hotel. It was better than mid range. Lovely helpful staff on reception, an aceptable price with thier discount....paid 68 euros for a large kingsize bed with onsuite bathroom. Comfortable bed, fresh pillows (very snazzy cushions too) and a nice relaxing corner sofa, reasonable TV and every thing was realyl clean. Complimentary coffee and tea, which is not the norm in Bulgaria, nice and quiet, was lovely and warm. Actualyl a bit too warm and I couldnt turn the heating down so I had to sleep wit hte fridge open to cool off as aircon didnt work. THis was the only negative for me. They did an airport pickup, but not a drop off and this nearly stopped me booking, as they should have told me this at the begining, however they were saved by the fact the metro was 4 stops to the airport and cost me 1.60 leva, so about 70p. I picked up food from the little shops in the metro, as I hit a holiday so the restaurants close by were closed. A very lovely stay and Id go there again. AND they had these lovely drop lights near the bed as side lights, some veyr nice touches, clean crisp sheets, soft towels and nice soaps etc and they dont ask you to leave till 12 lunch time. My photo doesnt do the room justice

The bathroom is small. The room was clean. Breakfast is more general. The surrounding traffic is not very convenient. It is 2.5 km from the subway and 15 minutes if you walk.

The first time I came to sofia, I lived in Metropolis, and have stayed many times. Drinks are available, which is better. Breakfast is okay. There is no breakfast that is particularly suitable for Chinese people, but it is acceptable.

Ok, acceptable.

Hi, my name is Peter, a pensioner, from England. The dental clinic (where I am a patient) booked me in to Grami, which I describe as a business hotel. I found the reception staff to be so well educated, sometimes I wondered if I was a guest or a student! Flawless english and spanish are spoken at reception. Dental patients come to Bulgaria mainly from Germany, France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Greece, and Britain. These patients midway in their treatment have no teeth. The cooks offered hot potato or chicken soup and bread or dunking toast for the toothless (including me), which is amazing considering we can't speak. Breakfast included yogurt (plain or fruity) which can be swallowed without chewing. I was on floor 5, in a no smoking double room with TV, shower, balcony, and wardrobes big enough for the whole Bulgarian volleyball team. The mini-bar is packed with beer, wine, fizzy drinks, water and snacks, replenished daily. Some days my sheets were soaked in blood from my toothless jaw....like a scene from a Hitchcock horror film. No problem for the housekeeping team. My room was cleaned daily, with disinfectants. Please have sympathy for the shower extractor fan! It struggles to cope with smells (leave the light on to keep the fan running) Soap and body gel in abundance, towels changed on request. Breakfast is the star attraction of the restaurant. The choice and quantity of food could feed the Bulgarian army and leave enough left over for paying guests! I asked Stoyan the chef to heat my plate as the cooked items were a teeny weeny bit cold. On certain days Stoyan cooked a ,,Mishmash” omelette on request in front of guests. Ask for a picnic breakfast if you're leaving next day before 07h. Wide choice of fruit, yogurt, muesli, chilled meats, croissants, sliced bread. The staff will make banana & honey smoothies for toothless guests who cannot eat hot food (under surgeon's orders). A spectacular mountain view is visible from the Sky Bar on the top floor of the hotel. Food is basic, a limited choice menu, prices around 4€. I was often served faster than a 5G SMS in the Sky bar. The salads were my favourite, regularly served in a jiffy, also there's a hummus with bread that you should try. I felt secure in this hotel, probably because I look like Dracula. Smoke alarms fitted in every room and extinguishers in the corridors. I never saw any crime in the hotel or in the surrounding area. The air conditioning and plumbing systems are noisy 24/7. Outside, Malinov boulevard is a makeshift race track for bike & car gangs to burn rubber on weekends. I saw a Porsche 911 complete the run in 9 seconds. The double glazed windows shut out the racket, but I like fresh air. Take the underwalk when crossing to reach the malls, which have a variety of stores including a pharmacy. Mladost is a pleasant business and industrial zone. Lidl supermarket is 200m from Grami, a commercial centre and Metro station are within 600m. Plenty of cash machines nearby.

We stayed with two young children for 4 nights whilst we attended a wedding in Sofia. The hotel is in a quiet location with parking. The staff on arrival are friendly especially George he made us feel very welcome and helped with our luggage. We stayed in the family room. The room was nice big and spacious. It is in need of a few repairs and upgrades. The sofa is dipped in the middle, the corners of the bathroom are grubby, the bath has jets that need gutting and the door to the balcony is hanging off and doesn’t close properly which is a safety concern. Breakfast is simple and not a lot was out although hot food is made at your request and room service is available. The breakfast staff were lovely. A young man called Alex was very impressive, polite and diligent. Such an asset to the company to have staff like Alex. An incident with the cleaner ruined our time here. We returned to our room to get ready for the wedding that we went to Sofia for to find the cleaners had turned the room upside down. They had pulled the sofa out and the larger lady with short hair yelled at us because there were crumbs from our children eating biscuits. She was very rude and refused to leave so that we could get ready. This made us late for the wedding. And it left us feeling unwelcome and uncomfortable. My husband complained. And it was explained to us that they just want us to keep the room tidy. It was tidy there were just a few biscuit crumbs on the sofa and floor. We paid for house keeping and it was unreasonable of the cleaners to expect to clean already clean rooms. The fact that we were shouted out by the cleaner is outrageous. The lady with the short hair is a liability. You cannot shout and be rude to guests over crumbs on the floor and sofa. I don’t want to penalise the rest of the team for one hostile cleaner. The rest of the staff were wonderful, friendly and accommodating. The outside area is beautiful especially at night. Lots of fairy lights. The staff are easy going and there is a play area in the gardens including a huge trampoline. There is a well which is covered so just beware to watch young children. The pool looks nice but is deep and cold. It would have been nice if it was heated but in September it was too cold to enjoy. Food is good and room service was great. Overall it was a comfortable experience and cost effective.

Everything was great, thanks

Located along the main street between the bus terminal and the downtown area, both are within walking distance. In front of the subway station, transportation is convenient. There are also several supermarkets nearby. Breakfast is a prefix menu at the café. Tasty but takes time. When I left early in the morning, they prepared a packed lunch for me (advance request). Comfortable with bathtub.
