What guests think

At Novotel Sofia, travellers highlight friendly, professional staff, clean and comfortable rooms, and a convenient location near the airport and The Mall, making it a practical base for business or short stays with easy transport links.

Rooms are generally quiet with wide city or mountain views, though fixed windows and seasonal climate settings can leave them warm or dry. Breakfast and the on site restaurant earn praise for taste and variety, with occasional queues at a single coffee machine and one report of brusque end of service. Expect a contemporary, convenience led stay suited to airport access and shopping, with distance from the city center and minor operational hiccups to consider.

Welcoming staff, nice breakfast with savory and sweet offerings. Only 1 coffee machine available all 3 mornings so long line was over 5 minutes as it is a busy tour pickup/drop off hotel. Large mall next door for any needs. Hotel is off the main highway into city center - 15 minutes no traffic, ~45 with traffic. The rooms facing the road provide a nice view of the mountains.

the room was large and nicely furnished. HOWEVER, it was very warm because the property had already turned off the air conditioning & turned on the heat. Normally we would just open a window & problem solved but at this hotel the windows don't open! We left very early in the morning & didn't have the breakfast so I can't comment on the quality. But they did have coffee and some fruit put out for those with early departures, which was nice.

Among the variables I consider in a hotel at the time of making the choice, service is one of them. Novotel Sofia has one employee at the reception named Rosen who is a gem. Not only he helped me with anything I needed to know about Sofia (transportation, restaurants, places to see, etc.) but he helped me with some issues that arised about the reservation in the most efficient way and making sure the problem had been solved. The management of the hotel should know he has an outstanding customer oriented employee that deserves all my recognition.

Great hotel, but a bit of a turn off when you show up 10 min before the end of breakfast and you are met with “you have 5 min to eat” from the not so happy to see you waitress. Shame that he service is such, as the hotel offers great convenient location for folks traveling in and out of Sofia internationally (airport is only 6 min by car).
