At this price point, Hotel Grand, in Samakov, is excellent value. The owner, Stanislav, was very helpful and gave us great service. The room was fine, the restaurant was fine, the bar was fine. There are 4 large supermarkets very near the hotel. We like supermarkets :) We had a great, comfortable stay. Thank you Stanislav and your team :)

We loved our stay at Rila! It was the best location for the slopes & we loved the huge variety of food we were offered for breakfast and dinner!
We loved the surprise of having a live singer in the lounge downstairs after dinner, it was a lovely addition to some of our evenings!
Our room was really spacious too & staff were really helpful at reception when we needed anything!

This hotel is a little hidden gem, just outside of Sofia. A 10 lev taxi ride direct into the centre. Booked for by the very friendly and helpful staff.
A lovely greeting in our room, only small but, a nice little touch that was well received.
The room decor may not be to everyones taste but the room was massive, clean tidy, well ventilated with a lovely view.
Food in the restaurant at breakfast was plentyful.
Should I return to Sofia, and its highly likely I will this will be my first choice.

We had a warm and friendly welcome to the hotel. Very helpful and cheerful staff. We are a family of four adults and three children. The food was excellent for the adults. Good choice of meats and fresh vegetables. They had pasta with a sauce and pizza but I would suggest they add something like homemade chicken goujons for the children especially during school holidays. The swimming pool, like all others this time of year in Bulgaria, was cold to get into. The best way is to shower...
