The housekeeper is not good at all. She did not change the towels for all three nights, even took away one of the small shampoo bottle, she thought I didn't use it. After she "cleaned" the room, she did not lock my door. Front dest staff are good actually.
Excellent location quite close to the Old Town. Easy access to historical sites and places. Aging building , reasonable facilities but inexpensive. Recommended.
The hotel and staff was excellent.
The only issue I had, the stall bathroom was too tight, you barely stand to take shower and I was keep hitting my body to the glass wall.
Staff at front desk and cleaner were lovely and helpful. Arrived early and they assisted with luggage and room while we went and explored area.
Property is dated, but does have charm and comfort. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Our room was spacious and bed comfortable.
Bathroom clean and functional.
Only issue is that walls are thin and can hear movement and outside noise but is a minor problem for us. We found limited dining options for the night.
I had a really nice stay at Sveta Sofia. The hotel is an older building, but my room and bathroom were very clean and it was very quiet. The breakfast is a basic offering with coffee, meats, cheeses, bread and cereal - enough to start your day, when you’re on the go with day trip tours. The front desk staff is exceptional, very kind and very helpful. Sofia is a safe and walkable city and the hotel is within minutes of most tourist sites. I really enjoyed my stay.
Hotel and staff were nice. I did laugh when the boy on reception suggested ironing on my bed instead of finding me an ironing board.
I wouldn't bother with the breakfast as it was pretty poor. There are lots of places to find food in the area including a good bakery 2 minutes walk away in the metro station.

Avoid if you can.
Very pleasant and accommodating staff. Hotel is clean but very dated. There is absolutely no insulation in the walls. Stayed 2 nights. Second night didn’t sleep at all because of noisy neighbors. As much as I live the location and the staff I will try to find another hotel for next visit.

Balcony was pleasant surprise.
Staff mostly very helpful and friendly.
Fairly central pedestrian position.
Breakfast choices boring and limited, with no variation from day to day.
Old center of Sofia. Small family style hotel.
Do not expect any luxury, just good basic service.
Simple, but good buffet type breakfast.
Several supermarkets nearby, include Kaufland.
Walk able distance to multiple historical places and Vitosha Blvd.
Average 3 star at best. Nice sized rooms but very basic and noisy and no air conditioning dispite being advertised.

receptionist Very nice and helpful
Andrea is a great person helps everyone with her smile lovely face. Once she is in the reception you can feel her positive energy. Also, the guy in the kitchen is very nice and helpful. Otherwise breakfast is very basic and dishes not clean.
The only is location is good. The stuff are nice. For this price you could stay in better place. Bed is not comfortable. The breakfast is so poor.
