Impressive room, reasonably good breakfast - coffee, boiled eggs and tea included. Fine beds and hairdryer, wireless internet and cable TV. They made my stay restful. There was a perfect restaurant, a supermarket and stores next door. I loved to spend time in the executive downstairs bar.

We liked our stay; the staff and location were ideal. Irish bar was superb and neat. Bed was perfect, and the room itself was separate. Family-run hotel set in the pedestrian area. Besides, it was just a few minutes from sofia court house...

All in all, great value. Breakfast was nice hot and the stuff were responsive. Hotel was tidy. It was a trendy area, a good choice for me. Charming restaurant and downstairs bar on-site. Pool was good and beds were very comfy.
My room had uninspiring view.

I liked that place, the balcony was large. Simply wonderful location, 20 minutes' drive from Sofia airport. Standard king room was well-organised, great value in comparison with other options. The hotel was scenic, with competent staff. The pool was very clean too.
Wi-Fi was horrible.

So glad we choose it, it's holiday base for staying in Sofia. This hotel has marvellous location. Booked table at DIIP Bar and Dinner, it's their onsite restaurant. It was worth its 3 stars.
The property needs renovation.

We liked to be at Rila Sofia and its location and views. The hotel was just a pleasant stroll away from Serdika tube station. In fact, the free WiFi was a cherry on top. It deserves its 3 stars.
