Rila Hotel Sofia

The hotel it’s located downtown within walking distance from places of interest. The metro station of Sedrica is about a couple of minutes walk away.

Location is top of the consideration. Centre located that you can walk to most popular attraction. Metro or tram is very close within steps. Hotel is partly renovated. I believe it will be amazing when finished. Breakfast is not included. 15 Lev per person with small buffet that you can choose most popular items, ie, eggs, ham, sausages, breads or cereals. But they are not very hot on the warmers. However, I would still recommend people to go there for sleep and shower. Room was big enough and balcony overlook the city. Price is very good compare to same standard 3 stars hotel. Staff speaks reasonable English that is convenient. Good luck!

我被安排入住舊樓層，但我的朋友安排入住6樓的新裝修樓層，這令我感到非常失望。不滿意。

ソフィアの中心部にあります。観光スポットも繁華街もすぐ。立地は抜群に良かったです。でも客室は古く、アメニティも貧弱。ちょっと残念でした。

Rude staff, not welcoming at all, very rude on checkout. Beds so firm in the ‘renovated’ room so I dread to think how bad they are in the other options, poor facilities. Air conditioning wouldn’t work, no spoons for the coffee making facilities. Wouldn’t recommend

Stayed for three nights in August 2024 as part of a trip around eastern Europe. Warm welcome received from reception staff who remained helpful throughout our stay and would politely field any questions asked without being overly friendly. Our room, one of those that has been renovated, on the seventh floor, was spotless and comfortable with an entrance hall, a minibar area with fridge, complimentary teas and coffees and a Nespresso machine – always a nice touch. The balcony housed a table and two chairs and breathtaking views over the city, Palace of Culture and Vitosha mountains beyond. The air conditioning was first class and good free Wi-Fi included. The room was impeccably cleaned daily. The location really could not have been any better, just a few minutes’ walk from the historic sites including St George’s Rotunda and the cathedral of St Nedelya in one direction and the main shopping district, bars and restaurants in the other. Serdika Metro station was also just 2 minutes’ walk away. The one disappointment and improvement I’d suggest was the breakfast buffet which felt tired and lacking in quality. I felt sorry for the very helpful lady who appeared to be doing everything by herself. Getting it right would really elevate the hotel. I have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending and would stay again, providing the breakfast was improved. A great value hotel in a perfect location.
