Hotels near Central Synagogue of Sofia in Sofia

"The hotel was fully self-check-in with auto-locking doors, and no staff were present! Great value for money. There's a hairdryer available. However, the Wi-Fi wasn't working well, so I couldn't use it. They said it was under repair, so I recommend checking its status before booking! I booked a room with a window, but it couldn't be opened, and it was dark even during the day. The photos were taken at check-out, so it's a bit messy, but it was very clean when I arrived! This hotel is recommended for those who will be out and about all day, from morning till night!"

"The hotel is not far from the city center, and all attractions are within walking distance. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the staff were very helpful with luggage. My flight was delayed, so I arrived very late, but the front desk was extremely welcoming and helpful."

"Nice hotel and walking distance to the city centre, which is good. Unfortunately though the hotel is quite dated and the wifi is not dependable enough to use it for work"

"Hotel was nice, glad that I’ve found it online, it’s hard to find a good hotel to book online due to tons of negative feedbacks, but this one has a great feedback so I booked it. And it did not disappoint me. Hotel is clean with good fragrance that you can smell the moment that you’ll enter the lobby / reception. Service is great, friendly and accommodating staff. The room is spacious, seems like a 4 star room for me. They serve breakfast, with tons of seats where you can relax after check in while waiting for your next trip or flight. I forgot my bag in their lounge area / lobby before I went to their restaurant to take coffee. Then was in a hurry to go to the car service I booked outside when it was already time to go to the bus station going to Romania. After arriving at the bus station, I noticed that my bag is not in my possession, when I was about to get my other phone. Because I have other luggages to carry and was in hurry. I was worried sick that it will be lost, my bag, glad that it was there. The staff handed it over, they kept it, and nothing was missing. After getting it, I got an email from the booking app where I booked the hotel, telling me that Amar Design Hotel contacted them saying that I left my bag at the hotel. And they were asking for my contact number to reach me, they were to kind to do that right immediately. But I already got the bag. Still thankful and grateful to their staff. I would definitely check in here again when I get back to Sofia, and will recommend it to friends who are traveling here. Thank you. It was a nice stay, and their service made it even great!"

"Everything was good. Breakfast is in the cafe. İts not normal breakfast. You can choose and sandwixh or drinks or coffes. They give you a card. And you have limited."

"Everything was excellent, except for the fact that parking had to be paid. I still cannot wrap my head around the fact that a 5-star hotel with private parking onsite is charging its guests a parking fee. Common sense is not very common in Bulgaria."

"Very positive experience! One of this hotel's biggest assets is its location, right in the city center, close to Vitosha Boulevard and all the main tourist attractions. The rooms are modern, comfortable, and well-equipped. The staff are welcoming and professional. The breakfast offers a great variety and is high quality. The only downside is the lack of space in the breakfast room, which is located near the reception. In conclusion, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay thanks to its central location, comfort, and excellent service. I highly recommend it!"

"The hotel was clean and tidy, everything was great, the only minor issue was the difficulty in adjusting the air conditioning in the room."

"Great location, easy to get to from airport. Quiet and comfortable. Breakfast next door was good."
