As with many Bulgarian hotels claiming to be four stars, this one definitely falls short of the mark. Because of a mix up with our reservation, our original hotel sent us here. Thankfully it was only for one short night and half price (40 Euros) From the outside the huge monolith looks promising but as you enter through the revolving... more

This hotel has a good location - it is about 2 kilometers to the cathedral and there is a large mall nearby with a hypermarket. The rooms have been slightly updated and has the necessary business amenities - business center, internet access for a fee, cable TV, mini refrigerator. The beds are small and soft and a bit low to... more

Was absoluteley disgusted by this hotel. I had a glass of white wine which was off and a funny orange colour. The receptionist demanded that I paid for the wine and when I refused she said that I should be ashamed coming to Bulgaria and refusing to pay for a drink. She then proceeded to shout abuse at me and... more

Do not check into this hotel - although they didnt seem surprised that I didnt want to stay after seeing my room. The... more

Just came back from Sofia on business, and had to stay at the Rodina Hotel as this was organised for me. This was a really poor hotel, only the rooms on floor 8 and 9 have been renovated and are actually worth 3 stars Western standards. I was on 12th floor, "deluxe" room which made me wonder what the standard... more

The previous reviewers are much too kind. This place is positively awful in nearly every respect. I was given a room that the hotel desk claimed was a "luxury" room that was "renovated." If it was renovated then it was done more than 20 years ago. The room was more than dated. The carpet was absolutely filthy (I moved the... more

We 2 couples stayed there for 3 days of sightseeing. The hotel is a bit dated and the rooms on the small side but was clean and the staff, for the most part, were friendly and helpful. The included breakfast buffet, set in a dated but fancy Eastern block ballroom, had a good selection and was reasonably good (one can... more
