We got bumped!!!
Despite having booked and paid for TWO rooms for two nights four months in advance the hotel management did not have a room for us on arrival!
WE were sent off to a small (but admittedly excellent) hotel further along Vitosha Bulevard - this was very small compensation having just spent 11 hours on a train getting there.
I suspect that they preferred to take the higher paying conference delgates who seemed to be hogging the entire hotel.
Anyway Sheraton is not the only hotel chain - I will take my business elsewhere in future.

Sheraton
Although we were assigned a well-appointed room, I found the bathroom to be less than 5-star quality with water leaking from the shower to the floor through the cracked wall. It was not pleasing to the eyes. It actually, grossed me out. Also, the only available room was with two single beds.
Breakfast buffet was more than adequate with both hot and cold entrees, bacon, sausages (2 kinds), scrambled and boiled eggs, potatoes, mushrooms, tomatoes, different kinds of fruit juices, cereals, breads, fresh fruits, etc.
Service was great. The shuttle bus ride to and from the airport was free. The spa offers a great massage; quite pricey, however.
Oh, and I like the casino. I won 300+ leva with my 40 leva. :)
Unique Quality: Very central location.

Great Business Hotel
I found the Sheraton conveniently located although it is currently in an area of construction and the street traffic was a little busy. I tend to stay in apartments or smaller local hotels except when traveling on business, so I would never stay here on personal travel. But when being reimbursed, I can enjoy the luxury of a great hotel. The breakfast was good, and the staff friendly, yet not that attentive.

Big price, but not impressed.
I am not sure if it is just me, but I did not enjoy my time in the Sheraton. At first I arrived and the driver had to pay the parking attendant just to drop me off at the lobby. I ignored the situation with the parking attendant because I was looking forward to explore the city. I then arrived to the front doors and I was impressed by the lobby that I figured my room would give me the same feeling, but I was mistaken. I arrived into my room, and immediately I had to get transferred into another room because there were a lot of bugs on the bed and the curtains. I couldn’t believe it! I know these things happen, so I was polite and asked for a transfer. My next was room was OK, but still not what I expected. To get the point, I think I might have been OK in a hotel that was less expensive.

it has its uses
Ridiculously overpriced: a "status" hotel. Small rooms, car alarms going off all night in the parking lot... but... The restaurant just inside the front door is excellent. If you're coming into Sofia for the day, this is a great place to eat lunch and use the facilities. And the concierge is a great source of information for anything you might want.

Can't beat the Sheraton!
First of all, the hotel is connected to the Presidential Palace...need I say more about the location. In between the Palace and the hotel is the Rotunda of St. George. It is one of the few hotels in Europe that do not have the two twin beds pushed together to make a queen, they have actual Queen Beds!
Unique Quality: Great view from either side

Just another expensive hotel
The building is old. There are no recreation facilities on site.
The biggest advantage is the good location.
My overall impression is that the hotel is overpriced.
The picture is not mine :) Actually the rooms are quite big but they are not that good as the picture.
Unique Quality: - free airport pick-up
- satellite and pay television
- in-Room Safe
