“Good value”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 May 2011

Very nice hotel great value for money. Just a short walk 5mins to centre. Good size room with clean and up to date bathroom. Lift with outside view, novel. Staff very helpful and friendly. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed for works so I can’t comment. Breakfast was ok served in the bar.

“Disappointing”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 March 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Somewhat spartan, Hotel Light is NOT a four star hotel, which it rates itself. It is 2, maybe 3 star. The small room was not very clean and sparsely furnished. The small bathroom was well appointed, but no amenities were offered. The safe is not secured to the closet and can be removed. The bed was comfortable. The location is a 10 minute walk to downtown, nice during the day, but not so nice in the evening. Breakfasts was a bag with water, yogurt, an orange and an inedible, unidentifiable mashed up bread and meat thing that might have been a sandwich. Staff were not very accomodating. English is spoken, which is a big plus. There are better options in Sofia.

“Excellent city centre hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 October 2010
1
person found this review helpful

The Light Hotel is located in a quiet side street in the very centre of Sofia. It is 5 minutes walk to the main shopping street (Vitosha) and all the main central sights. It is conveniently located between the central area and the railway station (10 minutes walk). The hotel is of a high standard. It is modern, spotlessly clean, the rooms are of a good size. There is good free internet and a very wide selection of domestic and international television programmes. The bathroom was smallish in size, the shower was not seperate from the rest of the bathroom, which meant that most of the bathroom got wet when taking a shower. This was really only a minir irritation. For breakfast there was a range of hot and cold food (cereals, fruit, bread, meat, cheese, yoghurt etc). Overall very good value right in the centre. I would thoroughly recommend this hotel.

“Nice room, average breakfast, good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 August 2010

My single room was bright and very clean - however with the usual Bulgarian problem of the flat sheet being the same size as the mattress, so you can't tuck it in and you wake up lying on the bare mattress. Still, a very nice room. Breakfast was quite good. The first receptionist I saw was very cold, but the next morning another receptionist was on duty and she was lovely. I would recommend this hotel.
