Ah, the Sheraton ! Situated in the "triangle of power" of the former Communist government and being the most luxorious hotel in Sofia for this era it's located in the very heart of Sofia ! It has a great view towards the president's and the prime minister's office buildings. And to the famous "yellow pavement" square used to hold state... More

I haven't been to the hotel for a while and was pleasantly surprised to find that the lobby bar and the restaurant were just as nice and cozy as I remembered them few years back, staff was friendly, the food was excellent.

I have been traveling to Sofia just 4-5 times and I have stayed in the major five star hotels. The truth is that they all have some issue. However Sheraton is the top hotel as it is in the very center and occupaying the same building with the president. It was just 5 minutes walking from my office. As Platinum... More

May be because I came in middle of winter, I saw no other guest in the hotel. Most of stuff were chatting in the corner, not caring about service, is this typical Bulgarian hospitality? Place was too sleepy... Hotel room is old fashioned, somehow un-matching sofa and interior decoration. I reckon this place was famous 40 years ago...but certainly not... More

The hotel is beautiful but they're in a budget crunch because the owners are building another hotel so it's not great right now. There aren't many toiletries (no bath soap, no toothpaste, no cotton swabs, no lotion etc..) and my 2nd bathrobe wasn't laundered. There aren't enough house cleaner so they're rushing the cleaning and I had red dots all... More

Six of us made a "quick" trip from the states to Sofia, Bulgaria and we stayed at the Sheraton. We all work for an airline, so that makes trips like this a little easier. It was about a 20 minute taxi ride, and the price was only 10 Lei - set this in advance before getting in the taxi. We... More
