On reading the reviews complaining about small rooms, I spotted on Hotels.com that booking a suite instead of a single room equated to only $20 more a night, so I booked suite 104A for 4 nights. This was large, with 2 armchairs and a sofa in one lounge room (that had thoughtfully been turned into a bed by the staff... more

My husband and me, we decided to stay at Maria Luisa hotel for our first night after the wedding party! We payed about 70euro to get a flat with NO VIEW and a bed like a rock!I expected more of a 4stars hotel! THe food was old and cold! Was a new experience for me to sleep in a hotel... more

This hotel is fine for a short overnight stay, our room was small with no natural light and therefore a bit stuffy. The hotel is well located in central Sofia and close to all the shopping and eating places. The breakfast was Buffet style and the staff very pleasant and helpful. There is a nice lobby bar and cafe are... more

This is a fabulous little hotel right on the main road through Sofia city centre, 5 minutes walk south to the shopping and 5 minutes walk westwards to a huge open-air market. The staff couldn't have been more helpful, the breakfast was lovely and the only criticism could be thaat the rooms were a little small. That's not to say... more

The 4 star hotel occupies a gorgeous building in a good location in Sofia. The staff are rather dismissive and the service was poor. The rooms are full of period furniture but leaving little practical space to move, plus we overlooked a next door neighbours yard, complete with dog poo, dog and unsightly other materials!! Very SMALL room but adequate... more

Delighted with the Maria Luiza. Location was great (if you don't have to drive and park), just a short walk from the main square and the Nevskiy Cathedral. Small hotel with a real boutique feel. Room was well appointed and spotless. Staff was largely English-speaking, well-trained and friendly. Restaurant, small but attractive with decent menu and quality. Very extensive breakfast.... more

Totally ROBBED! Transfers from airport to hotel (about 15 minutes drive) at 40 Euro per person whilst cab charge only about £4-5! On day of checking out, was given a bill which Reception wasn't able to clarify! She explained that her manager prepared the bill and need to speak to her-never bothered to itemise each transaction exactly-PLS BEWARE!! more

We arrived to find our booked room had been flooded, so we were offered another, lesser grade of room at a discount. The room wes stayed in was spotlessly clean, confortable and for a front facing town centre hotel, quiet. Staff were great, friendly and helpful. Excellent breakfast bar and ordinary bar too. Handy for the market, shops and the... more

Have stayed at the Maria Luisa on and off since 2000. And I plan my next trip there just next week. The staff is helpful, the breakfasts are superb, and the rooms are comfortable and quite elegant. Great location for the heart of old Sofia. There is a wonderful open air market just 2 blocks behind the hotel. Olives, cheese,... more
