“Reasonably comfortable but service was lacking...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 September 2010

people found this review helpful

I stayed here for 6 nights. The hotel is 15 minutes walk away from a subway station that will take you to the centre of Sofia - a little too far for a visit to central Sofia. The general decor of the hotel is very nice and the rooms are mostly comfortable. However, whenever I ran out of toiletries or the complimentary water/tea/coffee in the room I had to physically request for them to be replenished. My room went days without these. The wifi signal was so weak I had to request a cable. Also, the hotel's website advertises buffet breakfast. On my first morning there was no buffet, just a menu. On my second they hadn't put everything out in the buffet despite it being 20 minutes after the breakfast start time. Another day I had to request some fruit becuase it seems they had forgotten to put it out. A final thing is that breakfast hours are 7-9.30am, yet the gym only opens at 8am, making it impossible to go to the gym, then have breakfast, then go to the office. Really poor planning.

Overall, the hotel is pretty nice, but flaws in the service and the planning make it difficult to recommend.

“I can recommend it.”

New and very clean. Big, comfortable rooms. In quite area, but not very close to the center. When you are travelling by car, there is no problem to get to the city center. If not, it’s not so convenient to visit Sofia. Helpful staff. Good restaurant and breakfast. Free garage for guests. I can absolutely recommend it.

“Hotel of conflicting standards”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2009

person found this review helpful

I had to travel to Sofia for the first time this January and found a deal through a well known travel website for a flights and hotel package.

I have spent my working life travelling the world on business and I have always tried to find the "value for money" package based on a hotel where I can get a beer a meal and a good nights sleep without having to exit the hotel after a hard days slog.

Unfortunately the Sofia Vega did not manage to fulfill those requirements the accomodation and service was excellent but the resturant was limited in choice and very expensive. I had naturally assumed that in buying a package at a decent room rate the travel website would have done their homework and checked that the other facilities fell into the heading of a "value package"

To be fair my stay was far from unpleasant I ate in the resturant on the first night intil I googled the exchange rate, I then ate out at lunch time and drank beer and ate club sandwiches in the bar at reasonable prices for the other two nights.

During these difficult economic periods business people will be looking more for the "value package" and that will not include £8 soups and £30 main courses washed down with a £35 bottle of average plonk.

  • Liked — New hotel clean, tidy
  • Disliked — high food and wiine costs
