Location was great and check-in easy. Breakfast was very good! Only minus for few details in breakfast why it felt it wasn't finslized: some products missed spoons for taking products, and all warm product weren't warm at all, even I visites at the start of the breakfast. But very good stay overall.

Location is very good 👍 room is comfortable! Some staff (on day 1 check in) were very nice, some others can be nicer. Breakfast was okay, but rotten tomatoes with white mold was discovered on Dec 11, talked to the guy who was serving, he tried using hand to clean it, demanded him to take it away, not sure what did he do with it. Food safety is important!

Hotel is a little dated in furnishings but makes up for it in staff hospitality and the complimentary breakfast, which has a range of options. Hotel is walkable to most sites in Sofia.

A very nice cozy old hotel, if they furnitured the room a little better (f,ex with an extra table and something to hang your towels/things on) it would be so much better.
Perfect service 👍😊

The Bristol Best Western is a small, well-appointed hotel in the heart of Sofia. Excellent care and service are provided. The room was comfortable and quiet, the breakfast was abundantly displayed, the staff was very friendly and helpful. My small criticism is that the bathroom is quite dark, but it was excellent for mobility access.

This location is very convenient, I walked everywhere. The room is very clean; stuffs are ver nice. I am actually surprise how clean and good it is as I stayed in another ski resort in Bulgaria. The breakfast is also very good, various hot food and cold food options with deserts. Definitely a great stay; I would stay here again next visit.

Staff were very friendly and helpful, however the property is very dated and dark. Breakfast was very limited. I wouldn't rate this as a 4 star hotel more like a 2-3 star property.
