the location is perfect for the train/bus station. but nothing else about this place would warrant a recommendation. i booked a nonsmoking room, but in a hotel that allows smoking at the reception desk, there's really no guarantee your room, towels and bedding won't smell like smoke. my room was outdated, which would be fine, except it was also very...

Average 3-star hotel, although they are registered as 4-star, I have checked the public registry. Needs some renovation and better management. Staff should be additional trained for customer care. Location is good, just opposite the Sofia main railway station and very close to Central bus station and Serdika bus station. A lot of tram lines stop just in front of... More

The location was perfect for us because we were just overnighting in between buses - it's 200m from train and bus station. It's also right near an ATM and supermarket, so everything you would need is within 5 minutes. The hotel has potential to be a lot better but they just don't seem to pay attention to detail. There was... More

The hotel is quiet despite its location along the city's tram lines. My room was at the back, but I heard little street noise in the lobby, and hope that the front rooms are equally quiet. The bathroom was of good size, with a large bathtub. An amazing array of English-speaking TV channels was available. The hotel is very clean,... More

We needed to stay somewhere close to Sofia main railway station as we would be arriving late and departing early the next morning. This place fitted the bill, being pretty much across the main road from the station and reasonably priced. The receptionist was very helpful in ordering us a pizza delivery and also telling us that the (crap) beer... More

I stayed in The Plaza from 17 to 20 October this year. It is the best hotel within my price range I have found over 8 years of visiting Sofia. There was parking for my car, a taxi rank within a 2 minute walk and it was a pleasant 10 minute walk to the centre. The hotel staff were wonderful... More

In general the Sofia Plaza hotel is a clean, quiet and nice hotel for a reasonable rate. Having breakfast in the small garden adds to the possitive experience. But besides that I had an interesting 'issue'. I've booked the hotel via bookings.com the night before I would arrive. When I arrived at the hotel it turned out that my booking... More
