Beautiful hotel. Staff were very kind, welcoming and helpful. They went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. My only complaint is that there was a wedding on our floor (2nd floor) both Saturday and Sunday night and we could hear very loud music until 3AM, so sleeping was difficult. On the days when there weren't weddings, it was quiet. Rooms were large and comfortable. Location excellent!

This is not my first time at Grand Hotel Sofia. I liked it the first time and never used another venue when visiting Sofia. I wrote many positive reviews about it over the years and they rotate around the quality of the rooms, the service desk, the friendly staff e.t.c. and this still stands. What was different this time was that I opted for a room on the rooftop with a terrace overlooking the downtown area. And, boy, was it worth it! The coffee tastes different when you have it on terrace under the early morning sun. The included breakfast was a pretty standard continental breakfast. Good quality handpicked contents, though. Clever variety of juice cocktails. The restaurant continues to operate at elevated standards as always. New chef, I noticed. A few changes to the menu. And still the classy, cozy atmosphere.

The food was good The only negative is that the bartender was a little rude to my husband and the driver in the morning to take us to the airport never showed up. So someone else had to take us which was just fine.
