The hotel is very average. The facilities in the hotel were not great, having to hold the shower whilst having a shower is not a great start. The food is very average and the breakfast well that is not nice. Location- not very central and beware of the taxis, if they hear English being spoken, the price doubles!!!! Whilst in the city I saw other hotels that would have better.

the best thing about this hotel for me was the staffs attitude and helpfullnes first class
did not eat there but spoke to a couple who did and they said it was very good
a fair walk to the center of sofia but the hotel will ring a taxi for you which are very cheap
would defianately stay here agan

In hotel - nice room, comfortable bed, with sofa in the room , balcony and Jacuzzi in the bathroom.
Not good area!!

Although the hotel is clean, the staff are helpful, and the beds are reasonably comfortable, I would not stay at Hotel California again. The place is advertised as being close to the city center, but it is not a walkable distance from the main attractions unless you enjoy walking through construction sites, ill-kempt sidewalks, and unlabeled streets. The hotel is on a dingy side-street that is mostly residential, so we did not feel safe walking home at night. On top of that, half of the cab drivers we hailed in the city center did not know (or pretended not to know) where the hotel was located. The "breakfast" consisted of one stale piece of cake, a piece of ham, and coffee that tasted as if it were brewed the previous day. Our rooms perpetually smelled like cigarette smoke and we could hear everything that was going on in the rooms next to ours - including the drunken yelling and subsquent puking of a Bulgarian man at 8am.
