Hotels near The Red House Centre for Culture and Debate in Sofia

The location is great in the center. You can also go to the main tourist attractions on foot or by metro. There is a supermarket on the other side of the street. There is also a Bulgarian restaurant nearby. There is bathtub in room, too and is convenient. I think the area is rather wide. It was a pity that the restaurant was undergoing renovation work and the breakfast had only simple things such as sandwiches, but it was a good hotel when considered in total.

Hotel location is good, 500m from Lion Bridge, the room decoration is older. Restaurant and service are ok.

I stayed at this hotel during a dance festival and this was actually one of the few advantages of this hotel (all the workshops here held there). Cleaning ok. It is very cold in room (I slept on a sofe near the windows and I could not sleep because of the cold and the noise coming from outside). Breakfast is quite poor in terms of options (if you decide to have breakfast after 8:30, you will see that there is not much food left and they do not bring more). Also, they charge you for the parking. the card does not work when you want to exist the parking and since the doorman does not speak English it is quite difficult to explain that you have already paid for the parking.

I've never stayed anywhere else in Sofia so cannot comment on whether this is great for Sofia, but international 4* standard, it isn't. Most of the staff are lovely, apart from the member of staff who decided one evening that we were not allowed to have a glass of wine in the lobby bar because the bottle of wines were ”reserved” and ”for show” (the excuse changing from one minute to the next.) He couldn't explain who or why they were reserved or for show. The room servicing is, *interesting*. They say in the information in the room that the rooms are serviced daily. On the first day it wasn't serviced at all. The second, I asked it to be serviced and the towels replaced which they did but then (not joking) they screwed up the cover on the bed and put it in the corner, made half an effort to pull up the duvet, emptied a bin and did nothing else. Coffee and tea making facilities in the room is a real plus but they were not refreshed / refilled during our stay either, even when the room was ”serviced”. The bed was comfortable but one of those fit together beds rather than a true king size. It was huge but possible to get a bit caught in the middle. That said though, we didn't struggle with noise as other people did. The breakfast is fine. Typical central European type stuff and not the best quality but fresh fruit is always welcome. If it's a choice between room only at a cheaper price, I wouldn't recommend paying extra for it though. The door lock was a bit temperamental. It's worth checking it's genuinely locked behind you as ours didn't unless we carefully engaged the catch. There are safes though. The lifts were a bit dodgy as well. One obviously breaking down from time to time during our stay and be warned you need your room card to go up or down. Location wise it's superb and I'm not saying I wouldn't stay there again but for the price, which is not cheap for Sofia, the service needs a bit of an uplift. Also some attention to detail in the rooms would be good with a slight tear in the voile, wallpaper lifting etc. For British visitors though as this hotel is part of a Cooperative organisation, they have pictures of the first Rochdale COOP in some of the corridors. A funny little quirk if you know Rochdale. It's not the place you'd choose to decorate anywhere.

A superb and very stylish option, centrally located in a smart neighbourhood. The staff are exceptionally friendly and very helpful. The room was superb, though there seemed to be a bit of an issue with the plumbing…a bit of an unpleasant odour. Housekeeping came daily and were very thorough and there’s a room turndown, not something you see everywhere these days. The rooftop bar is very popular so do book, even as a guest of the hotel. The cocktails are very good, the menu is merely a guide: if you have a favourite, ask for it, they may well be able to make it for you. I also had a massage at the spa. First class!

The location was fantastic. Near Vitosha boulevard and the city center. Everything was easily accessible and all kind of services and shops were pretty close. The room was comfortable and cozy. It was equipped with all the amenities you could answer. Everything was clean and fitted well. The breakfast was ok. Nothing exceptional but the main things were always present. And in the end the highest marks go to the staff that were very kind and friendly. I would definitely choose Niky Hotel when I return to Sofia.

Stayed with friends on a trip to Sofia. Very clean and friendly place. Staff was excellent and helping in every way. Owner even took us to a good place to have dinner, which was very good also. Everything close by. Definitely will stay again and would recommend to others.

The hotel is located on Vitosha Boulevard and is well placed for the numerous bars and restaurants to be found on the long pedestrian *****. It's also within walking distance of all the main sights and guided tour start points. Our room was spacious, as was the bathroom, and the bed was very comfortable. The majority of the staff were very helpful, especially Nikolai on the Reception Desk and the dark haired waitress in the restaurant (I didn't get her name). The one negative is that the breakfast options are rather limited and the breakfast waitress was grumpy and rude (although Nicolai picked up on this and had a word with her) - that's why I've given 4/5 as opposed to 5/5.

Missed the connection and had to book a hotel near the airport. This Ibis is fine for the night on a stopover but not much to do around. Still ended up going to town to eat and have a look around so would have been just as easy, and a bit cheaper, if I would have picked a city hotel. The room was two single beds and nothing much else included, reasonably clean but still expensive bearing in mind it is Bulgaria. Fine for late arrival and short stay if booked early.

Breakfast is good! Air conditioning is not too cold, looking for the front desk brother is also actively helping ~ the next day someone has come to repair! Good attitude! The location is close to the train station, and it is more than 20 minutes to go to the restaurant area where you don’t have past attractions or lively spots.
