The hotel is conveniently located next to Serdika metro station. Most location attractions are within walking distance. The rooms are clean and modern. The shower temperature could be a bit hotter and it’s strange there’s no hair dryer in the room. Would recommend this hotel. ##### chi wai Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael Sep 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The newly remodeled rooms were very nice.

The bar staff were very friendly and apologetic, the problem would appear to be with the management. A great location and building, the plug in the bathroom sink had to be kept closed otherwise the smell in the room was disgusting. ##### benjamin Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jeff Jul 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good hotel with great dining and shopping option ##### Jeff Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### John Oct 27, 2025 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service Shockingly bad service in every aspect.

The property could be five star but has zero star service. Check-in was a nightmare, staff were rude and unconcerned with guests. Room cleaning, when it happened, was shoddy. Bathroom had embedded grime. Restaurant service was appalling. Asking four times for a menu, long wait for food and beverages. Sadly disappointing. ##### Peter Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anna Jun 30, 2025 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Wonderful staff, great breakfast, & beautiful room.

Only drawback is there is no official parking & drop-off area which was inconvenient. The property itself is wonderful with newly renovated modern rooms and smart features. Breakfast is wonderful and would recommend. We did not try the lunch/dinner options. ##### Kalen Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### georgio Aug 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Sofia Balkan Palace Hotel offers a refined and comfortable stay in an unbeatable central location. The rooms are spacious, impeccably clean, and feature a stylish shower room that adds a touch of luxury. Staff are warm and welcoming, contributing to a pleasant overall experience. While the breakfast buffet could benefit from more variety—especially in drink options—the hotel’s elegance and convenience more than make up for it. I’d confidently rate it 4 out of 5 and recommend it to anyone visiting Sofia. ##### georgio Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Port Alberni](https://www.expedia.ca/Port-Alberni-Hotels.d4027.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Fairfield Inn & Suites Los Angeles LAX/El Segundo](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Fairfield-Inn-Suites-Los-Angeles-LAXEl-Segundo.h15727.Hotel-Information) > > [Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Iberostar-Rose-Hall-Beach-All-Inclusive.h2127239.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramada by Wyndham Kamloops](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamloops-Hotels-Ramada-By-Wyndham-Kamloops.h9988.Hotel-Information) > > [AccorHotels Hotels in Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Accor-Hotels.0-0-d178294--bAccorHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Le Germain Hotel Maple Leaf Square](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Le-Germain-Hotel-Maple-Leaf-Square.h3988366.Hotel-Information) > > [The Victorian luxury suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Smiths-Falls-Hotels-The-Victorian-Luxury-Suites.h32865556.Hotel-Information) > > [Mirage Las Vegas](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels-The-Mirage-Hotel-Casino.h15575.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Niagara-on-the-Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-On-The-Lake-Hotels.d8957.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Motel 6 Fort St. John, BC](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-St-John-Hotels-Motel-6-Fort-St-John.h10373190.Hotel-Information) > > [Black Sea Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Penticton-Hotels-Black-Sea-Motel.h12357662.Hotel-Information) > > [Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort - a concept by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.ca/Kihei-Hotels-Andaz-Maui-At-Wailea-Resort-A-Concept-By-Hyatt.h2552.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from La Paz (LPB) to Lima (LIM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/lpb/lim/la-paz-to-lima) > > [flights from john g diefenbaker intl airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/yxe/flights-from-john-g-diefenbaker-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Los Angeles (BUR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/bur/toronto-to-burbank) > > [flights from billy bishop toronto city airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/ytz/flights-from-billy-bishop-toronto-city-airport) > > [Flights from Stanfield Intl. to YTO-All Airports](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/yto/halifax-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Fort Lauderdale (FLL) to Sarasota (SRQ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/fll/srq/fort-lauderdale-to-sarasota) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Manila (MNL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/mnl/toronto-to-manila) > > [Flights from Buffalo (BUF) to Orlando (MCO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/buf/mco/buffalo-to-orlando) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Edinburgh (EDI)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/edi/toronto-to-edinburgh) > > [United Toronto (YYZ) to Newark (EWR) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/united-from-pearson-intl-to-newark-liberty-intl-airport/ua/yyz/ewr) ### Packages > [Riviera Maya Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Riviera-Maya.d602901.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Thailand Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Thailand.d178.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Arts and Culture Centre - Corner Brook](https://www.expedia.ca/Arts-And-Culture-Centre-Corner-Brook-Corner-Brook.d553248621562271186.Vacation-Attraction) ### General > [Visit Cartagena](https://www.expedia.ca/Cartagena.dx926) > > [Visit Tajikistan](https://www.expedia.ca/Tajikistan.dx11410)
