“Hotel Light - ten minutes walk to city”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2012

I liked the hotel - good location - easy walk into the city (about 10 minutes) and close to the thermal water communal springs. There's also a great little convenience shop on the corner where you can buy mini take-away cups of coffee and snacks. Found the hotel's breakfast typically European with a mix of cheese and ham as well as hot foods. I ordered a "typically" Bulgarian chicken and vegetable dish one night from room service - and found it pretty reasonably priced and very tasty. There's also a gym and sauna but I just didn't get around to using it as out wandering a lot.

The one thing I was most relieved about in Sofia is most of their street signs were also in English - a friend had mentioned they only used the Russian cyrillic alphabet but thankfully the city had many in both. I took a cab from the airport thinking I wouldn't be able to find the hotel if only looking at cyrillic streetsigns. Ironically the cabbie happened to crash his car about half a mile from the hotel so armed with streetmap I thought it would be a struggle but no problem. All fairly easy to find your way around. Enjoy.

“Good city centre base”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 October 2011

A nice clean hotel with reasonably friendly staff. The breakfast was OK but the earlier you got there the better the choice. The hotel is very close to the city centre and provided us with a good base for our trip.

“Ideal place for a city centre base”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 October 2011

The hotel is about 20mins ish from airport, we stayed in a twin room for 2 nights, the room was clean with 2 single beds the bathroom again was clean good power shower. The breakfast was ok good coffee the selection of food was ok remember this is in the price so is fine based on what you pay for the room. If you are on a budget or staying for a short period this hotel will do you just fine

“OK, nothing special”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 August 2011

The room was OK, breakfast OK, no problems to speak of (landing a bit grubby maybe), but some staff ()especially on reception) gave the strong impression that their job was mainly a matter of "processing" guests. Process them in, process them out, get their room numbers at breakfast and tick them off on a list... , which when it's so blatant gets annoying. Position not far from the centre and the bus station, which is good. Impressive lift.
