What guests think

At Favorit Hotel, guests praise the convenient location near metro and bus/train stations and the friendly staff, while feedback is mixed on dated rooms, off-site breakfast, and maintenance issues like weak air-conditioning or heating.

Many find rooms spacious and comfortable, sometimes with balconies and city views. Cleanliness varies, with carpets and fixtures needing refresh in places, occasional lapses in housekeeping, and a few reports of pests. Many note good value for money for a short, no-frills stay. Expect a budget-friendly, well-located stay with trade-offs in upkeep and amenities.

This is a charming little hotel. Everything is functioning properly. It is not too far from the bus station. Unfortunately, they have closed their restaurant and bar. Highly recommended. I would definitely stay there again.

Odalar güzel. ama hergün düzeltilmesi gereken odalara ilk gün gelmişler, ikinci gün gelmemişler. Ayak havlusu yok. Deluxe odada kaldık. Genel olarak bir sorun yok. Otel araba parkı çok pahalı. Günlük 10 Euro. İnanılmaz. Ve hergün peşin alıyorlar. Kahvaltıyı da 5 Euro ya yan otelde yapıyorsunuz. Ama kahvaltı fena değil açık büfe.

Good location from the centre. A little misleading on the signage, suggesting restaurant. You can pay for a buffet breakfast but you have to walk a minute up the road to another hotel. A selection of cold & hot food. The only problem was the hot food was cold! Also, we had to ask twice for part of our replacement towels! The reception was helpful though. 7 out of 10.

Close to subway. Close to Hadjidraganov's Houses Restaurant. Bathroom looked good and properly cleaned, however room looked shabby, walls had black marks on them, carpet had lots of stains. Also, carpets were not vacuumed - there were visible pieces of something one couldn't have missed when cleaning, and when I took a risk to do some push ups, I saw lots of hair, including whole chunks of them. Disgusting.

God aircondition, god plass og hyggelige ansatte. God lokasjon. Mitt reisefølge ble dårlig av veggedyr som det var svært mange av. Store utslett, og det var titalls av dem når vi våknet i sengen. Uheldig med teppe som de bør fjerne. Frokosten som har fått gode anmeldelser er ikke lenger på hotellet men på et nabohotell, med svært dårlig utvalg og service. Det var ikke tømt søppel i rommet når vi kom, og glemt å fylle på pulverkaffe.

Really good value for money. Bed was really comfortable, heating was good, very clean room. Within walking distance to the centre (15-20 minutes) or a few minutes walk from tram / metro station. Convenience store nearby. Staff really friendly, helpful and spoke great English. Only downside is the walls are really thin and I had some noisy guests next door. Soundproofed well for the outside though and couldn't hear anything from the street. Late check out not available, you have too book an extra night which is fine but it's over double the price compared to what you pay per night online. Would definitely stay again.

Immersed in a previous Communist area, the Hotel has that particular flavor to it. There is audible noise from adjoining rooms to the point of hearing people in bed when they have intimate relations. There is no Restaurant as advertised. Breakfast is a block away in another hotel. Sone of the front desk staff pay more attention to smoking cigarettes than to requests to have your laundry done. Always order a taxi thru their app and never pick up from the street as they do not know how to get to the place. Bad choice

Favorit Sofia is a modern hotel located in an old, run-down neighborhood of Sofia. And run-down means zero maintenance. The hotel is fully functional. The breakfast, offered at another site, is not good. My wife refused to go there after one day. Obviously the developers of the Favorite hotel got the land for free. It is centrally located, for what that is worth.

Ligger et skummelt sted i Sofia hvor det ikke er trygt at gå når mørket falder på. Kan ikke anbefale dette hotel alt for dyrt til den varer der forventes købt

This hotel is 2 minutes from tram line 27 to the center of town and 7 minutes walk from the central train and bus station. It is 4 minuet walk from Lavov most subway station and intersection with coffee shops. The tv system, has over 100 channels . The hotel is on a very calm street with no noise. I have bin to the Ramada around the corner and I am never going back there, I will come back to this small and grate hotel. It is definitely my Favorite hotel in Sofia.

It was a good stay at Favorit Hotel. It's quite close to the city center and 10-15 minutes walk to the bus/ train station. Yes, it is an Eastern Europan hotel (like the 70's), but it was OK for us. We can really recommend the breakfast, which we bought on location for 10 Lev per person! And it was quite cheap on Hotels.com.
