I stayed here at the end of April and found the hotel to be very nice. We had one of the deluxe rooms on the 4th floor. Room was clean apart from staff forgetting to empty the bathroom bin but we were only here for one night so it didn't bother us much. Fridge was stocked with drinks and snacks... more

My wife and I stayed at the California for five nights. The hotel is in a very quiet residential area of Sofia. Trams are about a 10 min walk, taxis also nearby. Better take a taxi as you have to pay for a new ticket each time you have to change the tram/bus. The room was rather spacious, although you... more

On looking at other reviews and seeing the price my wife and I decided to stay here on the Sofia leg of our trip to Bulgaria. We actually stayed here twice within our two-week holiday, firstly for one night when we arrived (before heading off to Plovdiv) and then for five nights at the end of our trip. I mention... more

Yes, this hotel is on a quiet tree-lined street, but its a VERY long walk from town - though walking once was interesting in an orientating sort of way. I'd advise a taxi or asking for help to catch a bus, which you can do at a busy intersection about ten minutes walk away. We arrived about 10.30 pm after... more

My husband and I stayed here for 5 nights. Lovely little hotel, a bit outside the centre of town. Clean, quiet rooms. Hotel in a residential area. Breakfast adequate, nothing amazing but nice enough. Go down early if you want your sausages hot and your cereal milk cold! TV with satellite although reception for the BBC didn't really work! Very... more

Hotel California in Sofia is a nice (business) hotel located at the edge of the city centre of Sofia. A tram stop that connects you to the centre is at 200 metres, but we preferred to take a taxi (about 2 euros). Friendly staff, nice room and a jacuzzi. Quiet area. The only thing I was not so happy with,... more

I stayed at the Hotel California for about a week while traveling on business. It is a fairly new hotel located in a quiet residential neighborhood not far outside the center. Taxis to the center cost under $2. There is also a tram stop nearby, but taxis are so cheap that I hardly used the tram. The buffet breakfast is... more

Stayed here with my wife for a week. Good central location, taxi into center 2 lv. It is in one of the most exclusive areas of sofia, but you may find this hard to belive if you have not been here before. Sofia is being modernised and this hotel is well done. Rooms are a good size and are well... more

I’ve stayed here for two nights in one of their de luxe rooms. First of all, the room was great for that price level (around 80 euros): clean, very spacious, new furniture, bathroom with jacuzzi, really nice illumination options (although I sometimes got confused by all the switches). Second, the staff was very amiable. I also appreciated the fact they... more
