So, I was on a trip with friends to Sofia to watch football. I wanted a cheap hotel, somewhere with a roof and a bed - and that is just about all I got. A four star hotel in name, but in the 21st century and perhaps in Western Europe Rodina Hotel would be a two star hotel. The mattresses... More

The Hotel is located at convenient place, close to Exhibition Center and main Streets of Sofia where many boutiques sell fashion cloth. Although the Staff seems to be proud to work in this Hotel, the quality of the service and the equipment in the Room and the toilet is far below the normal expectation. The lobby is quite noisy with... More

I don t even understand, what somebody could find as positive in this hotel. The internet in the rooms is working only on the first floor, where my room was, but only with a weak signal. The rooms are small, not for a four star hotel, too old and with stinky smell of cigarette. The area nearby is nothing special,a... More

The furniture in the bedroom and bathroom are old, destroyed. Very noisy hotel with Casino and prostitutes... An real Ex - communist era hotel that gets worst. During my stay there one... More

this hotel is terrible, the bathroom smells like a really bad public toilet so you have to keep the door shut, the lifts seem to take an age, one even had a bullet hole in it, the breakfast is pathetic I would imagine even a pig would turn his nose up at it. All in all if you are going... More

I've chosen the review title carefully. Because what you see is what you get. I stayed in this hotel in September 2011 as i was attending the Bulgaria vs England football international football match in Sofia. Having stayed in ex-Communist era accommodation in other countries (Belarus, Moscow, Poland, Ukraine), I knew what to expect. Rooms: Ours was on the 14th... More
