Tip Rating:   Satisfaction: |  |  | |  |
Once known as Novotel Sofia, now the hotel is member of the Turkish hotel chain PRINCESS.
The location of the hotel is good both for business and pleasure trips.
There is a nice sport centre opened seven days a week from 7,00 to 21,00 h. I especially like the Turkish bath. What I don't like about the pool is that the water is a bit cold for my taste. As a whole the sport centre is good but a bit expensive.
I haven't seen the rooms, so I can't tell if theya re good or not. If the picture I found on he net is realistc, it seems decent.
Discounts for long stay are offered.
I had to check for a price of a conference hall there once, they gave me the price and I said that I m9ight get back to them. On the next day they called and offered something like 30% dicount. So, bear in mind that there is a slight chance to bargon upon the price :)

| | | | Sofia Princess Hotel: The Big thing?
Tip Rating: Satisfaction: | | | | |
Princess Hotel (Sofia) is part of the Turkish-owned chain spreading all the way from Belize to several holiday resorts in Turkey. With more than 530 rooms, it is the largest hotel in Bulgarian capital.
With 90euro for a single, and approx.120 euro for a double-room it is probably the most expensive accomodation you'll find in Sofia.
Princess Hotel is located very close to Sofia railway and bus station respectively, although it is quite unlikely you'll use those means of transport if you're staying at PH. :) The hotel is roughly 25 minutes (by car) away from the airport.
It is also couple of kilometres away from the city center (roughly 2-3 lv. cab drive) You won't find too many nice things in the vicinity (fairly run-down residential zone from era of social-realism). We've noticed an Greek tavern (Athens) with live Bulgarian/gypsy/Serbian folk music, working late hours. You'll also meet plenty of beggars, street-kids, dodgy salesmen and prossies wandering about the infamous Lion bridge.
Lovely view, innit?
Facilities inside are adequate for a hotel of this category. However, you might suffer in the bath if you're anything taller than 190cm.
We also got impression management is badly trying to scrap some money on peripheral things (like the toilet-paper, for instance).
Our precious advice - Sofia is reasonably cheap city, but please check ALL prices inside the Hotel before you do anything. For example, TV card (with limited 24h usage) stands at 10 euro. For 10 MINUTES (!) of internet you'll have to pay 2 lv. Pay special attention to your room phone bills as hotel rates are dozen or so times higher than regular ones!!!
Don't expect to receive any "small" change from the staff and in case you're around without your spouse expect to be approached by people offering "nice ladies/good time" at least couple of times per day.
Conclusion generale: Definitely not worth the money. Consider your options more carefully in case somebody else's not paying for your trip :)
Definite Hi-points of rincess Hotel are delicious Turkish cousine (especially - lovely baklava served after lunch - possiblty the best I've ate in my life) and superb Casino facilities.
Membership and bevvy are for free (you'd obtain card in matter of minutes), atmosphere is generally quite good and laid-back. Can be excellent crack at late hours.
