Hotels in Mladost, Sofia

I missed my flight at sofia airport so had to book a hotel for one night. So I went for a mid range hotel. It was better than mid range. Lovely helpful staff on reception, an aceptable price with thier discount....paid 68 euros for a large kingsize bed with onsuite bathroom. Comfortable bed, fresh pillows (very snazzy cushions too) and a nice relaxing corner sofa, reasonable TV and every thing was realyl clean. Complimentary coffee and tea, which is not the norm in Bulgaria, nice and quiet, was lovely and warm. Actualyl a bit too warm and I couldnt turn the heating down so I had to sleep wit hte fridge open to cool off as aircon didnt work. THis was the only negative for me. They did an airport pickup, but not a drop off and this nearly stopped me booking, as they should have told me this at the begining, however they were saved by the fact the metro was 4 stops to the airport and cost me 1.60 leva, so about 70p. I picked up food from the little shops in the metro, as I hit a holiday so the restaurants close by were closed. A very lovely stay and Id go there again. AND they had these lovely drop lights near the bed as side lights, some veyr nice touches, clean crisp sheets, soft towels and nice soaps etc and they dont ask you to leave till 12 lunch time. My photo doesnt do the room justice

Convenient to the mall.

Great stay. Very good staff and excellent service. Glad I chose Novotel. Very pleased with all their services and the efficiency. The restaurant had a great menu as well. Certain that I’ll stay here when I come back to Sofia next.

The first time I came to sofia, I lived in Metropolis, and have stayed many times. Drinks are available, which is better. Breakfast is okay. There is no breakfast that is particularly suitable for Chinese people, but it is acceptable.

Hi, my name is Peter, a pensioner, from England. The dental clinic (where I am a patient) booked me in to Grami, which I describe as a business hotel. I found the reception staff to be so well educated, sometimes I wondered if I was a guest or a student! Flawless english and spanish are spoken at reception. Dental patients come to Bulgaria mainly from Germany, France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Greece, and Britain. These patients midway in their treatment have no teeth. The cooks offered hot potato or chicken soup and bread or dunking toast for the toothless (including me), which is amazing considering we can't speak. Breakfast included yogurt (plain or fruity) which can be swallowed without chewing. I was on floor 5, in a no smoking double room with TV, shower, balcony, and wardrobes big enough for the whole Bulgarian volleyball team. The mini-bar is packed with beer, wine, fizzy drinks, water and snacks, replenished daily. Some days my sheets were soaked in blood from my toothless jaw....like a scene from a Hitchcock horror film. No problem for the housekeeping team. My room was cleaned daily, with disinfectants. Please have sympathy for the shower extractor fan! It struggles to cope with smells (leave the light on to keep the fan running) Soap and body gel in abundance, towels changed on request. Breakfast is the star attraction of the restaurant. The choice and quantity of food could feed the Bulgarian army and leave enough left over for paying guests! I asked Stoyan the chef to heat my plate as the cooked items were a teeny weeny bit cold. On certain days Stoyan cooked a ,,Mishmash” omelette on request in front of guests. Ask for a picnic breakfast if you're leaving next day before 07h. Wide choice of fruit, yogurt, muesli, chilled meats, croissants, sliced bread. The staff will make banana & honey smoothies for toothless guests who cannot eat hot food (under surgeon's orders). A spectacular mountain view is visible from the Sky Bar on the top floor of the hotel. Food is basic, a limited choice menu, prices around 4€. I was often served faster than a 5G SMS in the Sky bar. The salads were my favourite, regularly served in a jiffy, also there's a hummus with bread that you should try. I felt secure in this hotel, probably because I look like Dracula. Smoke alarms fitted in every room and extinguishers in the corridors. I never saw any crime in the hotel or in the surrounding area. The air conditioning and plumbing systems are noisy 24/7. Outside, Malinov boulevard is a makeshift race track for bike & car gangs to burn rubber on weekends. I saw a Porsche 911 complete the run in 9 seconds. The double glazed windows shut out the racket, but I like fresh air. Take the underwalk when crossing to reach the malls, which have a variety of stores including a pharmacy. Mladost is a pleasant business and industrial zone. Lidl supermarket is 200m from Grami, a commercial centre and Metro station are within 600m. Plenty of cash machines nearby.

Me and my husband stayed there for 3 nights. Lots of dust in the room, like no one cleaned areas at the head of the bed for years. The same situation is in the bathroom, broken drain plug in the bathroom tub, mold, rusty stains. We had great expectations regarding this hotel. We do not recommend it. Three stars are for the friendly English speaking staff, delicious breakfast and central location of the hotel.

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.

Overall very beautiful structure, works of art everywhere, a feast for the eyes, the spacious rooms, but alas a bit dirty, exceptional breakfast with many choices, both sweet and savoury. A flaw in my opinion is the internal temperature of the structure, but above all of the rooms which, even with the climate on 13 °, could not get cold.
