Good location for the bus and train stations (5-10 min walk), and easy to get to central Sofia. Room was very nicely decorated with a good bathroom and balcony. The air conditioning unit in the room was terrible. It would only stay on for about 5 mins at a time and would switch off when the room was cooled down... More

I really enjoyed staying here. It was clean, comfortable, quite and the staff was great. It's a quick walk from the train station which is great if you're coming off one of those terrible Balkan night trains. However, it's quite a walk to get to the sights of Sofia. Though the breakfast is great, the dinner in the restaurant was... More

I choose twice the Aris Hotel for its location, within walking distance of bus and railway stations. You can go to the city centre in 15 minutes, or is only a two stops subway trip, in a very modern line. The surroundings are quiet, and a little dark at night, but I always feel secure. Very few shops and restaurants... More

I cannot recommend this hotel enough, we received a warm welcome by staff who could not do enough for us, the hotel is designed beautifully. Our room was small but very lovely the whole place was pristine, the bed was very comfortable, breakfast was not the best but we didnt leave hungry. We would definitely stay here again.

To this end, we decided to book the Hotel Aris.as it was close -... More

We, Dutch couple en route by train to Istanbul, stopped over in Sophia with some misgivings about the city and Bulgaria, probably fed by the frequent news in the Netherlands on activities of Bulgarian (petty) criminals. The direct neighbourhoud of the station (even though station very impressive Soviet-era) seemed to confirm our fears. But our view changed quickly. Hotel Aris... More
