Aurora Sofia earns praise for modern, spotless rooms and welcoming staff, with a setting near Opelchenska metro and Mall of Sofia that offers easy links to the airport, though it sits outside the central core in a modest neighborhood.
Breakfast is widely liked, though a few guests found the selection repetitive or the weekend start time too late for early tours, and Wi-Fi feedback ranges from very weak to fast enough for remote work. Facilities feel new and stylish, with underground parking that can be tight and a bar not yet operating during some stays. Best suited to travellers who prefer quick metro access and comfort over being in the very centre.

Nous avons passé deux nuits dans cet hôtel flambant neuf, la première le jour de notre arrivée à Sofia et la deuxième la veille de notre départ après avoir parcouru le pays. Comme nous étions cinq nous avons bénéficié d'un duplex au 8ème et dernier étage. L'hôtel est à 1/2h en voiture de l'aéroport et à 20mn à pied (ou 5€ en taxi) du boulevard Vitosha, centre vivant de la ville . Il dispose aussi d'un parking pour 10€ la journée.

A little difficult to find but well worth it. Never been in a car in a lift before but that’s how you access the underground car park. Wow. The hotel was renovated very nicely and it was very quiet with lovely staff.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The room was very clean and the bed super comfortable. The location was a short twenty minute walk to many tourist attractions. The staff were extremely helpful and willing to help with all of my needs be it recommendations of local restaurants or shopping needs (food, liquor or pharmacies). Unfortunately their bar was not available due to not receiving their liquor license yet but I’m sure that will be rectified soon. I would definitely stay there again and am looking forward to my next visit.

The Aurora Sofia hotel is on a side road, however right between two main roads, makes it a little quieter. Also, just 2 blocks walking distance from Opelchenska Metro train station, and the Sofia Mall is just the other way, walk thru the alley and turn left... So you are quick metro ride to downtown Sofia, just 2 stops to Serdica - and the walk the other way is just 2 blocks to Sofia Mall with FiBank and Costa Coffee there... I was DELIGHTFULLY SUPRISED at how great the facility and close by Metro and Sofia Mall make this hotel a GREAT CHOICE! It is very new, clean, quiet, great staff who speak English at the front desk and Manager Peyo is outstanding guy... Definitely they work hard and earned their 5 stars review... I would stay again, the free hotel Wifi worked fine, about 50mbps, plenty to work remotely and easy to access, I turned on my PC and both mobile phones to wifi and worked great. Already 5 stars, what would make 6 stars is when they get their bar license and sell some Rakia :-)

Modern, stylish building within walking distance of Sofia’s city centre, shops, and restaurants. Our room was spacious, spotless, and thoughtfully restocked with water and coffee each day. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the bathroom had a luxurious feel. Breakfast was delicious, with excellent coffee, and the staff were professional, welcoming, and attentive. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Sofia. Bonus points for its convenient location - just a five-minute walk from the subway with a direct line to the airport.

Nyt hotel i god stand, som er fint til prisen. Hotellet ligger et lille stykke uden for byen, men man kan gå af en fin boulevard derind på 20 minutter. Receptionisten ved check-in var virkelig ikke serviceminded, og hverken kiggede på os eller snakkede til os. De andre receptionister var flinke og hjælpsomme. Værelset var rent og i fin stand. Lidt hårde senge, og ærgerligt at der ikke var et lille køleskab.

Overall it was a nice hotel. The room was fine, spacious and clean. It was close enough to walk to the centre of Sofia, about a 40 minute walk, and there were sone reasonable places to eat nearby. I did have to go and buy black teabags and milk for my room, as they generally only supply coffee or herbal tea, neither of which I drink. There was a fridge in the room. The only disappointment was that I got up to have breakfast early on Saturday, as I had a tour planned, only to be told breakfast was not served until 08.30, so I had to go without. Weedays it is served between 07.00 and 09.30.

I would stay again, the free hotel Wifi worked fine, about 50mbps, plenty to work remotely and easy to access, I turned on my PC and both mobile phones to wifi and worked great. Already 5 stars, what would make 6 stars is when they get their bar license and sell some Rakia :-)

空港から直通の地下鉄駅の近くで交通が便利。館内は清潔。近くにモールオブソフィアがあり買い物も便利。朝食ビュッフェが３泊とも同じメニューだったので、少し違うものがあるとよかった。全体の印象は良いので、ソフィアに行く時はまた泊まろうと思います。

Overall it was a nice hotel. The room was fine, spacious and clean. It was close enough to walk to the centre of Sofia, about a 40 minute walk, and there were sone reasonable places to eat nearby. I did have to go and buy black teabags and milk for my room, as they generally only supply coffee or herbal tea, neither of which I drink. There was a fridge in the room. The only disappointment was that I got up to have breakfast early on Saturday, as I had a tour planned, only to be told breakfast was not served until 08.30, so I had to go without. Weedays it is served between 07.00 and 09.30.

Modern, stylish building within walking distance of Sofia’s city centre, shops, and restaurants. Our room was spacious, spotless, and thoughtfully restocked with water and coffee each day. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the bathroom had a luxurious feel. Breakfast was delicious, with excellent coffee, and the staff were professional, welcoming, and attentive. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Sofia. Bonus points for its convenient location - just a five-minute walk from the subway with a direct line to the airport.

The Aurora Sofia hotel is on a side road, however right between two main roads, makes it a little quieter. Also, just 2 blocks walking distance from Opelchenska Metro train station, and the Sofia Mall is just the other way, walk thru the alley and turn left... So you are quick metro ride to downtown Sofia, just 2 stops to Serdica - and the walk the other way is just 2 blocks to Sofia Mall with FiBank and Costa Coffee there... I was DELIGHTFULLY SUPRISED at how great the facility and close by Metro and Sofia Mall make this hotel a GREAT CHOICE! It is very new, clean, quiet, great staff who speak English at the front desk and Manager Peyo is outstanding guy... Definitely they work hard and earned their 5 stars review... I would stay again, the free hotel Wifi worked fine, about 50mbps, plenty to work remotely and easy to access, I turned on my PC and both mobile phones to wifi and worked great. Already 5 stars, what would make 6 stars is when they get their bar license and sell some Rakia :-)

Aurora Hotel is located 2 minutes from Mall of Sofia. The neighborhood is very quiet a night and promotes good night rest. There are plenty of coffee shop to include a food court within walking distance. The staff is outstanding and the breakfast offers a variety of pastries.
