Top National Palace of Culture Hotel Reviews

Sofia Balkan Palace

8/10 Good

"This was a beautiful classic property in the center of the city and the front desk was helpful and friendly. There were plenty of options at the breakfast buffet. On this 6 night stay we only had the room cleaned one time and this was less than satisfactory. As the room was warm we requested an extra flat sheet for each twin bed. This would allow us to sleep cooler. When we returned that afternoon the flat sheets were missing and dirty towels were still on the shower floor. A call to the front desk brought the sheets and I chose to make the beds myself. While making the bed I discovered a stained mattress. I think we were both put off by this"

Rosslyn Central Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We only stayed here for 1 night because we came back from a trip to turkey and was flying out of Bulgaria. But this hotel was very convenient. Great and helpful staff. Stayed here with my husband and teenage daughter and got upgraded to a connecting room, our room had a queen bed and the connecting room had a double bed, it was perfect for all of us"

5 Vintage Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"I picked this place due to the location, it's walking distance to the city centre, metro and airport. The staff on arrival was very friendly, upgraded me to a nicer room as the guest in my reserved room hadn't checked out. The accommodation was decorated really nicely with retro/vintage decor. The staff also left a nice birthday treat in my room, it was such a lovely surprise. Very thoughtful of them. The bed was so comfortable, I slept for 10hrs after a hiking on the Rila mountains, just what I needed. The stay here made my birthday weekend extra special. I couldn't have asked for more. I would definitely recommend staying here."

Hilton Sofia

8/10 Good

"The restaurant was closed and guests were invited to serve dinner at the bar... The food was below standard."
