The bar staff were very friendly and apologetic, the problem would appear to be with the management. A great location and building, the plug in the bathroom sink had to be kept closed otherwise the smell in the room was disgusting. ##### benjamin Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### sheldon 2 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great experience ##### sheldon Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jeff 6 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good hotel with great dining and shopping option ##### Jeff Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Irina 18 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities I had a great experience staying at this hotel and would highly recommend it. ##### Irina Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Zoran 17 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities It is in a great location & it’s a very nice place! ##### Zoran Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anna 30 Jun 2025 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Wonderful staff, great breakfast, & beautiful room.

Only drawback is there is no official parking & drop-off area which was inconvenient. The property itself is wonderful with newly renovated modern rooms and smart features. Breakfast is wonderful and would recommend. We did not try the lunch/dinner options. ##### Kalen Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### georgio 24 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Sofia Balkan Palace Hotel offers a refined and comfortable stay in an unbeatable central location. The rooms are spacious, impeccably clean, and feature a stylish shower room that adds a touch of luxury. Staff are warm and welcoming, contributing to a pleasant overall experience. While the breakfast buffet could benefit from more variety—especially in drink options—the hotel’s elegance and convenience more than make up for it. I’d confidently rate it 4 out of 5 and recommend it to anyone visiting Sofia. ##### georgio Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel 22 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Central, quiet, modern In old Soviet era building but very modern and elegant room design.

There was no parking, found one at 32 euros per day. There was a wedding party at the hotel and the fire alarm at 1 am because the smoke machine triggered the alarm, the whole hotel evacuated, no staff to help or to tell what was going on , people on the street barefoot and in pyjamas. We didn't sleep for the rest of the night and had to leave early for the airport. It was a nightmare. ##### Lyne Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Winchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels.d5477.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Razis Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Zakynthos-Hotels-Razis-Apartments.h46941915.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Edinburgh.h15710648.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Family Villa With Private Heated Pool](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yaiza-Hotels-Luxury-Family-Villa-With-Private-Heated-Pool.h33585832.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Belfast City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Belfast-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Belfast-City-Centre.h22935103.Hotel-Information) > > [MotelOne Hotels in Milan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Milan-Hotels-Motel-One.0-0-d180012--bMotelOne.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Al Barsha, Dubai](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dubai-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Al-Barsha.h31718649.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Port Palace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monaco-Hotels-Hotel-Port-Palace.h994536.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Marinela Sofia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sofia-Hotels-Hotel-Marinela-Sofia.h1146085.Hotel-Information) > > [Infinity On The Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Lawrence-Gap-Hotels-Infinity-On-The-Beach.h7109047.Hotel-Information) > > [Pet-Friendly Hotels in Brean](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brean-Hotels-Pet-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d6353450-tPetFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in St Sampsons](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Sampsons-Hotels.d3000403529.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Starling Cloud, Aberystwyth by Marston’s Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberystwyth-Hotels-Starling-Cloud.h11900767.Hotel-Information) > > [My Pretty Payma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Benidorm-Hotels-My-Pretty-Payma.h3416662.Hotel-Information) > > [The Gainsborough Bath Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bath-Hotels-The-Gainsborough-Bath-Spa.h6577437.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Kaleiçi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kaleici-Antalya-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-n6175694-0-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [SO/ Vienna](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vienna-Hotels-SO-Vienna.h3801449.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Sofia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sofia-Hotels-Hilton-Sofia.h660263.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Parking in Honfleur](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Honfleur-Hotels-Hotel-With-Parking.0-0-d4818-thotelwithparking.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Americain](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-Hotel-Americain.h4140609.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Ibersol Siurell](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sant-Llorenc-Des-Cardassar-Hotels-SeaSun-Siurell.h1640768.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Falmouth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Falmouth-Hotels-Budget-Hotels.0-0-d4634-tBudgetHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from London (LHR) to West Achaea (GPA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/gpa/london-to-patras) > > [Flights from Sepang (KUL) to Krabi (KBV)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/kul/kbv/kuala-lumpur-to-krabi) ### Cars > [Car hire in Warrington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Warrington.d5462.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Bar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Bar.d6055021.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Holiday Rentals > [Skegness Holiday Rentals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Holiday-Rentals.d6048672.Travel-Guide-HolidayRentals) ### General > [Visit West Glamorgan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/West-Glamorgan.dx6253959) > > [Visit Orland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orland.dx9205)
