This hotel is lovely with its old style charm. The elevator is quite small, enough for two people and two small luggage. The room was quite nice with seating, coffee maker, a different area for the bed, large bath in a large bathroom. I read previously that some people had problems with the windows not being transparent - which wasn't... More

I stayed here many time from 1998-2001 and loved it then. It is just the same now. I was there on business. The staff are all tremendous, very friendly and helpful. Genuinely happy to look after guests. There was a pick up service to/from airport [including at the unseemly hour of 4am in my case]. Hotel in perfect central location... More

We kicked off our holiday with two nights in Sofia, and when we arrived at Maria Luisa we were glad we did! The building is lovely and has been remodelled on the inside to include a lift, which is a bit of a centre piece. We arrived at the hotel at around 10am, so our room wasn't quite ready. The... More

Phoned the hotel to book - their price was twice the web price so I booked online. On checkout they told me that I had not paid but only reserved - although I had the impression I paid in full. So I insisted on phoning the local bank to issue me a MasterCard confirmation that I am only paying once.... More

The airport is about 15 minutes from the hotel. The taxi stand has honest hosts and did not overcharge me. Arrived at the hotel to a friendly staff. The bellboy came over immediately and helped me with my luggage. The reception was very friendly. They offered me a room of my choice. The building is exquisite from the turn of... More

I had a room very claustrophobic, with no windows! Thus, I asked to change my room and they gave me a very small one, with one window on the back of the building, looking on a very dirty courtyard: perhaps it was better not to see anything at all! More
