Top National Palace of Culture Hotel Reviews

Sofia Balkan Palace

8/10 Good

"The breakfast buffet was the highlight of the hotel. Some staff were very helpful, some were rude and dismissive. The morning manager who offered me a late checkout and the bell boy/man were very nice."

Grand Hotel Sofia

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms are huge! Nice outside area to hang out."

Grand Hotel Millennium Sofia

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic 5 star hotel! Great staff and super clean and large room. Awesome location right on Vitosha Blvd. Parking was easy but a tad expensive ($30 Euro per night). One thing to note - not all rooms have access to the pool, which is a wonderful perk. We had to pay an extra $80 Euro to use pool complex : ( The top floor bar is spectacular - definitely go! All in all a great hotel!"

B1 Downtown Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The stay was great. Easy location, Great room and good enough space for one solo traveler dor a few nights. The gym was amazing."

Les Fleurs Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nicely situated hotel with great amenities and super clean rooms. The staff was amazing - our plans kept changing and they accommodated us to the best of their abilities. Very happy with my stay, I'll prob choose the same hotel next time around."

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."

Rosslyn Central Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Large room, extremely comfortable and clean. Friendly staff and best location!"

Hilton Sofia

8/10 Good

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