We enjoyed a fantastic 3 night stay at the hotel. The room was exactly as pictured, spacious and with a fantastic bathroom. The breakfast was a generous portion and could be had in your room or in the bar at the front of the hotel. Everything was catered to our needs and we would not hesitate to stay again

Lovely, small hotel in a great location. Room was spacious, modern and individually designed by an artist. There was some noise from the road outside and next door bar. At the time of writing, the hotel was having some renovation work which meant breakfast needed to be taken in the room or hotel lobby. However, I was won over by the place and would definitely stay here again if I return to Sofia.

We experienced serious teething problems with the newly refurbished hotel (external door cards did not work so we were locked out until receptionist got taxi from home to let us in; TV not set up; no shutter over skylight so we could not sleep after dawn; bar/restaurant not open so we had basic breakfast, with no drink etc choices, served in room). Staff were very helpful and apologetic.

The stay was fantastic. Although we did not get the room we had selected when booking, we got something a bit more accommodating. We stayed in the fairytale suite. It was spacious, appointed with curious details and it was beyond comfortable. We had a car with us and had no problem with parking as we stayed on a Sunday and a holiday Monday. Weekday parking may be a headache, but the front staff are more than helpful to guide you in the right direction. The location was perfect, walking distance to all of Sofia's major hot spots and to excellent food options. The area is also very quiet . I would stay here again if I found myself back in Sofia. Highly recommend if you’re into something unique.

A great hotel to stay at in the center of Sofia. Recent renovation is very nice. Room was very clean, had all amenities, many different eating options within walking distance. Breakfast selection is quite limited and not flexible. I'd gladly return to the hotel on future visits.

Oborishte 63 is the epitome of Bulgarian hospitality. Even before we checked in, they were making sure we were on our way so they would be ready for us. The staff was mindful of our long way to Sofia and they made sure our room was ready with all we needed. By the way, can we talk about the rooms? Each one has a unique style and name. We stayed at the Atelier room and it was superb. Spacious, stylish, genuine, and comfortable. Besides all this, it is located in such a nice neighborhood. Oborishte makes you feel like a local with proximity to amazing bars/restaurants and all the touristic places Sofia has to offer. Plus, Metro station is nearby and so are the opportunities to go to explore the city and reach SOF. I look forward to returning to Sofia and spend my days in this one of a kind hotel. I can’t wait to return to O63!

*Wonderful Stay in a Quiet and Stylish Hotel* ✨ The hotel is located on a peaceful street, just a short 6-minute walk from the metro station. The surrounding area is vibrant, with plenty of great bars and restaurants to explore. Initially, I booked a room on the first floor, which was a bit too close to the reception and had windows facing the restaurant. Fortunately, the staff kindly helped us switch to a suite on the third floor—and it was perfect! The room was quiet, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable. Breakfast was served directly in the room, which added a lovely touch to the experience. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommended

Nicest place in Sofia with great parks, bars, and restaurants. You can walk anywhere from here. Unfortunately, the AC was broken in our room, although they'd had someone in to fix it a few days earlier. After some back and forth, Juliana at the front desk put us in another larger room. She was terrific, as was our entire stay. Can't recommend this place highly enough.

Our main concern was safety and the hotel’s staff disregard for it. The front desk is not staffed 24 hours. We knew this. They assured us we could contact someone if necessary; that a phone number would be posted on the front door. One night, our key cards would not unlock our room. No phone number was posted. We frantically searched the front desk area and found two numbers to call. Neither answered. Other guests overheard the commotion and offered to help. One had a different number to contact. No response. Another took our key cards to ensure they didn’t work; they didn’t. We were very upset. There was a call button in the elevator. An elevator repair person answered it. He could only help if we were stuck in the elevator; he had no access to the rooms. We insisted he had to do something. He had two numbers he could call for us. No answer. He then suggested we search the front desk area for a Master Key card. After desperately searching we found it and got into our room. However, it was clear that ANY determined person could have found the Master key putting guests at risk. The whole ordeal took about an hour. We decided to leave a day early. The front desk clerk contacted the manager who refused to give us a refund. We asked to talk directly with the manager and he refused to directly talk with us and would only communicate through the front desk attendant. We left.

I can’t wait to return to O63!

*Wonderful Stay in a Quiet and Stylish Hotel* ✨ The hotel is located on a peaceful street, just a short 6-minute walk from the metro station. The surrounding area is vibrant, with plenty of great bars and restaurants to explore. Initially, I booked a room on the first floor, which was a bit too close to the reception and had windows facing the restaurant. Fortunately, the staff kindly helped us switch to a suite on the third floor—and it was perfect! The room was quiet, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable. Breakfast was served directly in the room, which added a lovely touch to the experience. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommended

The room was great and clean and the front desk was very helpful. Although There is no parking in the area near by(at all) and it’s 20 min walk from city center

Lovely, small hotel in a great location. Room was spacious, modern and individually designed by an artist. There was some noise from the road outside and next door bar. At the time of writing, the hotel was having some renovation work which meant breakfast needed to be taken in the room or hotel lobby. However, I was won over by the place and would definitely stay here again if I return to Sofia.

The stay was fantastic. Although we did not get the room we had selected when booking, we got something a bit more accommodating. We stayed in the fairytale suite. It was spacious, appointed with curious details and it was beyond comfortable. We had a car with us and had no problem with parking as we stayed on a Sunday and a holiday Monday. Weekday parking may be a headache, but the front staff are more than helpful to guide you in the right direction. The location was perfect, walking distance to all of Sofia's major hot spots and to excellent food options. The area is also very quiet . I would stay here again if I found myself back in Sofia. Highly recommend if you’re into something unique.

15 minute walk to St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. And five minute walk to the nearest metro stop. Staff is very helpful and friendly. The rooms are clean. Several restaurants in the area you can walk to. The balcony is nice but no special view.

The hotel was totally fine . the long street outside was full of slightly overly touristic places to eat unfortunately . But I guess that will evolve over time

We enjoyed a fantastic 3 night stay at the hotel. The room was exactly as pictured, spacious and with a fantastic bathroom. The breakfast was a generous portion and could be had in your room or in the bar at the front of the hotel. Everything was catered to our needs and we would not hesitate to stay again

We experienced serious teething problems with the newly refurbished hotel (external door cards did not work so we were locked out until receptionist got taxi from home to let us in; TV not set up; no shutter over skylight so we could not sleep after dawn; bar/restaurant not open so we had basic breakfast, with no drink etc choices, served in room). Staff were very helpful and apologetic.

A great hotel to stay at in the center of Sofia. Recent renovation is very nice. Room was very clean, had all amenities, many different eating options within walking distance. Breakfast selection is quite limited and not flexible. I'd gladly return to the hotel on future visits.
