This is a nice renovated older house, in a good location, well maintained with a very pleasant staff. Just across from the Central Park and Palace of Culture, tram 7 will take you downtown and to the train/bus station quickly, ( a metro station is currently under construction ) Breakfast was delicious and varied with eggs cooked to order, ( wait 'til you taste Bulgarian tomatoes; the best in the world !! ) the staff was kind and helpful, though some had limited English. The room the first night was clean , but small, I booked an extra night and got a huge room with beautiful bathroom. The neighborhood is pleasant and quiet. There is an attached restaurant with excellent food and reasonable prices to try some authentic Bulgarian fare. I would stay again for sure. Thanks to Annie and the rest of the friendly staff.

Wife and I stayed here for 4 nights in mid May. It was right by the park of the National Palace of Culture. Location wise it was close enough to walk to town centre (15 mins slow level walk) and almost to all other places of interest too. We didn't have to take public transport at all except going to Boyana Church (20 mins by white mini-bus on the main road 3 minutes from Hotel). The room was large but the deco was a bit old fashioned! Bathroom is clean and the shower worked well. It was off a quiet side road. We were in the 1st floor of the main building and we always used the side/back door.

Breakfast was fine and set you up well till lunchtime. However, depending on the staff on duty, communication in English could be limited. They were all friendly none-lthe-less. With a good map you could visit all the places of interest very easily. With the very decent price, we'd recommend this hotel to the others as good value and well located.

This is a very reasonably priced hotel with a good location for sightseeing and shopping in Sofia.

My room was spacious, and the bathroom was almost luxurious. Access to guestrooms was through the restaurant, and it was always tempting to take a look at the kitchen on the way. There was no elevator, and the staircase was very narrow.

Breakfast was all right. It was partly a self-service buffet, cold cuts were served to the table, and eggs were prepared upon order.

There is a guarded parking lot just across the street. The hotel manager suggested I could leave my motorbike at the restaurant's terrace instead, right there in one corner beside a table, and I did so.

I have only begun my stay at The House in Sofia, but I am deeply impressed with the service so far. We had complications with our arrival to Sofia last night, which meant arriving at 4 a.m. today! On top of this there is considerable construction all over downtown Sofia, making negotiating streets neigh on impossible. The place was locked tighter than a drum, so it felt like heaven when the English-speaking proprietor stuck his head out the window and came down to rescue us. My husband was along unexpectedly for this one night, and this was no problem at all. The larger room I had reserved had hot water problems so he put us into a smaller room and wished us a good night. Late the following morning when we finally arose, we were both fed a good breakfast, the same late-night rescuer gave us detailed instructions for the airport, and the staff moved my belongings to the nicer room which was then available. I could not be more impressed with the kindness and helpfulness of this gracious staff. I look forward to staying the week.
