Top Sofia Hotel Reviews

Sofia Balkan Palace

Sofia Balkan Palace

10/10 Excellent
"The Balkan Palace does not offer parking, and its entrance is not readily accessible by car. That being said, there is a relatively small (about 15 spaces) public parking lot located on the west side of Square of Tolerance and north side of Cathedral St. Nedelia, about 50 meters from the Hotel entrance, accessible off Pl. Sveta Nedelya. By whatever means of transport, the Balkan Palace is worth your effort. "Built in 1950 the Sofia Balkan Palace stands as a masterful blend of neoclassical grandeur and contemporary sophistication." It truly merits its 5-star rating, a grand accommodation. The on-site Bar-Restaurant offers relaxation, tranquility, elegance and top service. Can't recommend highly enough."
