Pros: Huge rooms, very clean, spotted in an area that you have walking access to all interesting sites

Excellent location, good value for money.

Pros: The Hotel is very well located in the heart of Sofia in Bulgaria. The family room is very spacious with two large beds and plenty of space. The TV is very big enabling us to watch some on demand movies while we rested. Breakfast was good.

Pros: The green color of bathroom is amazing. Super large rooms Good location

Vitaly 9/10

Pros: Comfortable room, bathroom was in good condition. Breakfast was perfect with fish available. Walkable distance from metro station Serdika, city central sightseens are also nearby. Soundproof is amazing, I never heard a noise from my neighbours

Cons: Nothing major, but let me mention what can be improved: 1. Electric kettle could be added. Teabags are available, so would make sense to have a kettle as well. Anyway coffee machine can be used to produce hot water, so there is a workaround 2. Coffee capsulas could be refreshed on daily basis rather than placed just once on arrival. Price of pack of capsulas is minor against price of accomodation, so should not be a big deal to provide 2 capsulas once per day 3. Variety of pastries could be added for breakfast

Highly recommend staying here, you will have a great experience!

Pros: Everything was incredible, the staff were super helpful and honestly lovely people. The breakfast was very tasty and the rooms were in great condition. I'd stay here again.

Cons: There was nothing that I didn't like at the hotel, it was a great experience.

High level service for a good price (room on a top floor with a terrace)

Pros: The hotel exceeded my expectations. While it was not a 5 stars experience, I am more than happy after a stay there because all is made on a high level. The room is really not perfect, but you are paying 5-10 times less compared to what you will pay in real 5 star hotels, while still having a very comfortable room. This is a fair deal and I will be happy to have another stay in Grand Sofia Hotel during my next trip in Bulgaria Pluses: - Perfect cleanliness, cleaning every day - Beatiful view from the room terrace - Big and functional bathroom - Very good soundproofing - Warm room during December colds - Nice table

Cons: As I said before there are some minuses, but they are minor and okay for that price: - Pillows are soft - Some furniture seems tired if you will keep an eye on details - Coffee machine is making really loud noise while working, because it is placed on a mini table on the top of a big table - Bathroom salt has expired for 2 years already to the date of my stay. It doesnt work

Worth everything

Pros: The location was perfect. The beds were some of the best I've slept on. It has a great feel about it and the space in the room. It felt nice to be immersed in the culture of Bulgaria through the hotel.

Cons: Nothing I would go back here any day.
