Stayed two nights on business. The hotel suited my needs. It is very central, very clean and comfortable but a little uninspiring. The room I sayed in was very large - almost too large. I was told that the building was originaly designed as an office block and then made into a hotel resulting in very deep rooms. Bathroom was... more

I've stayed in this hotel in August 2006 during a tour trip to Bulgaria. This hotel is very central, the rooms are spacious and nicely decorated in a classic style. During breakfast I had an omelette prepared in front of me with the ingredients I chose, which was delicious! It was one of the best hotels I've stayed in Bulgaria... more

I have stayed in this hotel twice on business trips to Sofia, most recently in January of 2008. The hotel is very nice and, for the most part, probably does deserve its 5-star rating. The bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious, well furnished, clean, and comfortable. The service and the breakfast are both very good - although it would have been... more

Stayed here a few times during trips to Sofia over the past year for 1 or 2 nights at a time. Check In/Check Out Service at the desk has been excellent each time I've visited. The staff are among the top in the city. They make a conscious effort to remember your name and are good with suggestions around the... more

Reception staff service was acceptable; porters/bellboys' service prompt and excellent. We were given an executive room facing the Vitosha Mountains (I think that's what... more

Stayed business-wise at the Grand Hotel at the end of February 2007. Rooms are above average spacious and if you have a room not to the street side, you will have a nice view on one of the main squares of Sofia. Breakfast rooms are a bit lacking of atmosphere. The biggest asset in my opinion is the location in... more

Stayed there few nights over New Year. Nice size room with good balcony (meant to be Executive Room although you not really getting anything extra for the Executive bit e.g. check-in/out, happy hour, executive lounge with snacks etc). Hotel good location. However I am really surprised for the "Best Hotel" award!!! Few problems from the time we walked in and... more
