What guests think

At Best Western Plus Bristol Hotel, travellers highlight a convenient, walkable location near metro and trams, friendly staff, comfortable if dated rooms, generally good cleanliness, and mixed breakfast quality that ranges from excellent variety to underwhelming or poorly replenished service.

Some feel it does not meet typical four star standards, but many consider it good value. Comments note occasional street and tram noise and a limited lobby bar or lounge; the immediate area can feel a bit run down. Expect a straightforward city-base stay with easy access around Sofia.

I would not recommend to stay in this hotel. The hotel is very outdated and won't deserve 4 stars. Even rating it as 3 stars would be too much. On the first night the central heating didn't work and the rooms were cold! No AC, at the desk we were only given one small dusty heater. We had to wear our outdoor clothes to sleep. In the morning, breakfast buffet was cold and food simply inedible. Cappuccino was horrible bitter. The dining hall was so cold that people were having their breakfast in winter coats. Spa was in the hotel, but not for the guests to use. Total disappointment. They asked 40 € to use their little sauna. Only decent thing about this hotel was the hotel staff that were very helpful. But still, would avoid at all cost.

The Best Western Bristol photos over-flattered the reality of the hotel. The overall feel was that the hotel was tired, breakfast was a bit limited and there is no Lobby Bar. That said, it was close to the city centre, it was clean and comfortable, the staff were extremely helpful and the price was good.

Location was very good as many points of interest and shopping facilities were within easy walking distance. Property itself was well maintained and clean. Everything worked, lifts, wifi etc. Breakfast was good with a range of cold and hot food and drinks. It would have been nice to have a larger front lounge/bar area. There were two tram routes beside the hotel. A metro station is a few minutes walk away.

This location is very convenient, I walked everywhere. The room is very clean; stuffs are ver nice. I am actually surprise how clean and good it is as I stayed in another ski resort in Bulgaria. The breakfast is also very good, various hot food and cold food options with deserts. Definitely a great stay; I would stay here again next visit.

The hotel is very nice. I travelled there with friends, we are all very happy with our stay. They knew we have 3 people reservation, they made the extra bed with extra towels on the bed; I have not seen any hotel done that before. The shower and toilet is very clean. The breakfast is very good, many choices, including hot food, cold food, and deserts, many juices & fruits. I don’t know why other reviews are saying it’s bad but the food is much better than the food offered in the Aspire Lounge in Sofia airport. The stuffs are very nice! The hotel is very clean and well maintained. It’s safe area and quiet. I would stay here again next time!

Hotel location good easy walking to places of interest, area around hotel a liitle run down but a few local bars and restaurants a short walk away. Good and easy connection from airport on metro and then a 10min walkto hotel. .Only improvements would be breakfast not enough staff and topup of breakest areas slow so sometimes waiting for bread and hot food, and cups . It would be better if staff had a uniform or name badge so they can be identified in breakfast area ,it would be more professional. The staff work hard but an extra person would solve all of the issues. Otherwise a good breakfast area.
