Grand Hotel Sofia - Sofia, Bulgaria 

"Exceeded expectations"
Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
My wife and I spent a week in Sofia on business and chose to stay at the Grand Hotel Sofia. The hotel exceeded our expectations. We had a non-smoking room that was large, light and very clean. It had a sitting area and desk work area as well as a bed. The room was quiet and the bed very comfortable. The bath was large and fully equipped with tub, shower, hair dryer and terry robe. The staff was pleasant and helpful and spoke excellent English. The breakfast buffet was as good as I have had anywhere. The other restaurant also provided excellent meals. The lobby and lounge provided areas where we could meet for business transactions. The business center was very up to date and the manager very efficient and accommodating. The hotel is in the center of town with easy access to the down town area. We certainly will stay at the hotel again for our next visit.

Trouble free if uninspiring stay!

Had a very pleasant stay, being a frequent traveller to Bulgaria I suppose a lot of what irritated other travellers barely rated... rooms are really large, and the non-smoking room was smoke free (which makes a change in this country!). Staff were disinterested, but once you got their attention they did deal with the issue. Room service was okay, and prompt. Bathrooms were decadent, but as with some other reviews, water temperature fluctuated. Great location, good parking availability, which is a big plus, and very clean. One of the better hotels in Sofia, good english skills which makes things much less stressful, though for the price I was expecting more.
