Advantages: swiming pool, massage Disadvantages: this is not one of the best parts of Sofia
The Hotel is near the center and the guests may see the most interesting part of the city afoot. This is a big advantage because in Sofia there are problems with the parking place.
The hotel is really near the Sofia railway station and near the main bus station.
The breakfast is good but the choice of the food is not big enough. Some of our colleagues don't like the specific bulgarian food and breakfast and don't have any choice.
The rooms are comfortable and clean. There is a TV with different channels.
There is a Casino - if you like such a games. A lot of people come from the neighbour countries espcecially for the Casino.
The massage is really great and not expensive.
I recommend this hotel for business travelers. ...
Advantages: Not too busy, good value for money, green Disadvantages: Not many "attractions", not much for children
visitors should be able to get to most places on foot. Those venturing out of town - perhaps to Mount Vitosha - will find the buses cheap and reliable. For other places in the Sofia region like Rila Monastery, there are plenty of companies offering excursions as well as the standard bus services.
Sofia does have lots of museums but none of them were trumpeted by either of the two guidebooks we had; they are mostly the standard selection of hotels found in most capital cities - the Ethnography Museum, the Natural History Musuem and the Museum of Earth and Man (the Geology Musuem!) spring to mind. Besides this, we were really "all museumed out" by this point. One museum of traditional dress starts to look like any other and the particular corn milling techniques of individual regions of Eastern Europe start to blur into one. Furthermore, we ...
Advantages: Great large town, that's compact and safe to explore Disadvantages: Probably only enough for a weekend; the Cyrillic language
For the first time theediscerning is hereby dabbling in foreign climes - no, not a first trip abroad, but a debut excursion into the esteemed realm of Ciao travel writers. That's what these competition thingies are for, of course.
To start with, a smallish city both tucked away in the middle of Eastern Europe's old Soviet / Warsaw Pact areas, yet far enough away from us in the UK to have some of the mystery and oddity the near east brings - Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria.
You will increasingly see this as a location for a long weekend holiday, for it is yet another fine eastern European city falling under the tourism industry's eye. With Bulgaria possibly entering the Eurozone in 2007, the urge is to go before it all gets changed.
The history of the country is far too complex to summarise here, but just one corner of Sofia ...
