Hotels near Чепински манастир „Свети Три Светители“, Sofia

We compared several properties before making the reservation here. We wanted close proximity to center, A/C, smoke free, pool. The location is fine. The ****** adjacent to the lobby is awful. It smells horrible. The smokiest place I have ever been in. Room was no smoking but smelled like smoke. There is central AC. However it is controlled by property. We asked. Days were warm and nights were cool so they had the central system set in heating. Room stayed around 25. Not terrible but not what we expected. Pool area is nice. Breakfast is nice with good selection. For the money spent we regret not renting a flat.

The hotel is 10 minutes from the central station by walking. You can walk to nearly all main attractions in the city. They allowed us to check in early. The receptionist and the cleaning lady were nice and helpful. The room we booked was the deluxe one so it was big enough to accomodate the three of us. Only two negative points are the fact that it is very noisy at night and if you walk to the hotel at night (after 11pm) the surroundings seem to be a bit dangerous.

This hotel is in an excellent location: about 10 minute walk from the bus/train station; 5 minutes walk to the metro; 20 minutes walk to the city centre. So from that perspective, it fit my needs perfectly. The staff I encountered were very friendly and helpful, so that was a major plus. The rooms, well, a bit of a mixed bag. While the rooms were VERY spacious, and had a great little balcony, from which I enjoyed a few drinks in the evening, the room really needed to be renovated. The word I described it is “shopworn”. Look at my photos of the room and you can see the broken couch and stained carpet. I would also say that the cleaning staff is a little lacklustre. While not “dirty” per sae, it certainly could be cleaned better. Some minor renovations and better cleaning would have me rating this hotel as a “five”.

As soon as we walked through the door, we were greeted by a uniformed man, who welcomed us to the hotel and took us to the reception desk, having looked after our bags, which were later taken to our room. The lady at reception treated us with great courtesy and efficiency, and therefore, from the outset, we realised we were in a well-run five star hotel with professional and helpful staff. Our bedroom was stylishly decorated in cool shades of grey, with two wide beds, a panoramic window with a view of Vitosha mountain, and the marble bathroom was of a good size, with modern fittings and a lovely walk-in shower. We had booked the Club Room and were not disappointed with the newly opened Club Lounge. They offer refreshments during the afternoon and then ‘happy hour’ from 6-8 pm. We found the service really excellent, with staff keen to help, and spent delightful early evenings having drinks and eating an enticing array of canapés. Breakfasts were also excellent in the Europa restaurant with a wide selection of cooked and cold options from the buffet, and dishes cooked to order such as omelettes and eggs benedict. One last point to mention - we found the Chief Concierge - Todor Goranchovski - most helpful in booking us restaurants and directing us to some notable attractions in Sofia: he was great. The Intercontinental is really a top class hotel and we would not hesitate to stay there again - thank you to everyone who made our stay memorable.

It’s an awesome hotel with a minimalistic good design, great restaurant, pool and team of professionals. I advice to book higher floors to enjoy the Mountain View. Breakfasts were great, not huge choice but good quality. Specific thanks to Slavka for giving such a good service.

This hotel was practically next door to the Serdica ancient Roman complex, so as soon as we had checked in, we went out and roamed among the ruins for awhile. But it's actually a perfect location for all your exploration, walking tours, historic sites, etc. The breakfasts were served in the little restaurant on the 1st floor, and it included lots of options. The staff were helpful and friendly, including giving me directions to a laundry, holding our luggage for awhile on our leaving day, and other courtesies. We recommend this hotel, and would stay there again if we ever go to Sofia again.

We had an amazing stay at this hotel. First, it’s totally new so everything is perfect and clean. Then, the rooms are really big, for the second night we got studio, and it’s like an apartment with bedroom and living room and a big couch. So you feel really relaxed and it’s nice spending time there. Also, the hotel probably has a great cook because the breakfast was outstanding - not a big choice but everything is extremely tasty. Also try fish soup for dinner, we loved it so much that we ended up coming back for it the second day. There are just two downsides (for me, you might not care) - the hotel has a cute patio where you can sit and have coffee, but the problem is, the patio is projected the way that makes voices really loud, and all windows overlook the patio - it makes it impossible to sleep when someone is talking there, and someone is talking there almost all the time. This made me wake up at 7 and go out at 12 at night asking people to be quieter. But if you are fine closing the windows that solves the problem (we just don’t like conditioners and sleep with open windows). And also the mattresses are very hard, but that’s a matter of taste. Other than that, amazing place. Not exactly in the center but it’s about 15-20 minutes walking, and in June the street was full of linden trees with amazing smell.

We stayed here for two nights - if you appreciate good contemporary design, you will love this place. Everything seems to have been designed, from the full height floor to ceiling doors everywhere, the fancy light switches, the Uber comfy beds. This place is great, very courteous, informative & polite service staff. We didn’t eat here as we’re limited on time but it did look like it would have been good. Perfect location just off the Vitosha Boulevard which seems to be the main ***** where most stuff happens. Definitely stay here next time we visit Sofia.

Because of the meeting, the price has skyrocketed many times, but it is really convenient to go to the opposite side for a meeting. It is a good hotel under the local economic conditions. It is very convenient for the front desk to help you rent out. The automatic currency converter exchange rate is very high.

Typical 4* hotel. Near walk to the center about 15 minutes. Close rooms. You can open windows. Clean. Clean. Every day cleaned. Unreliable breakfasts. Even ice-cream eggs and planted eggs. Fat coffee with milk in powder. On the floor ****** that at night attracts the whistle-blowing types. Very expensive parking is 25 euros a day.
