Found the basic 'superior' room I had comfortable with a great view to the back of Sofia with the mountain. Found food and beverage in the hotel almost as expensive as any other 5 star hotel in Western Europe, and you need a taxi to get to and from the centre. Large comfortable hotel with friendly reception staff, large public... More

I have stayed at kempinski for 3 months total this year... If you can get a good price(less than $80usd) then its not too bad. It has all the amenities however they are lack luster in luxury and performance. Restaurants and in room dining are over priced for the region except happy sushi which is reasonable with good atmosphere. House... More

The refurbished rooms are very ok, the non.refurbished are terrible. I have used this hotel for many years now and is very ok if you book a refurbished room. They offer a good selection of restaurants of which the sushi bar and the Jim Cook are my favourites although pretty expensive by Bulgarian standards. One thing i do not like... More

I stayed at the Kempinsky Sofia for one night only (mercifully) having chosen it for old times sake having stayed here many times in the mid 1990's. Well nothing has changed, in fact its got a whole lot worse. Checking in I was surprised to be given a metal discus weighing close to half a kilo with the key attached... More

Stayed for 2 nights in sept 2011, part of our bus tour of the area. Great room with excellent views of the city. Staff were very professional, and friendly, good quality food for dinner and breakfast. Lovely setting outside the ground floor, nice bar area and generally a place you would always go back to.

Large, clean, comfortable hotel. Had a corner room on the 16th floor over-looking the city. Selection of restaurants to choose from. Food was good. Piano bar open until very late. Everyone was pleasant and friendly and efficient. Pleanty of parking outside. Fairly luxurious at reasonable prices. Didn't have time to check out the pool and spa. Would stay here again.

This hotel is an older 5 star but is very clean and very comfortable. The food inside the hotel is great with a good selection from several restaurants and the staff are always there to help. For a big hotel it has a great feel.

Stayed here at renovated room (that's the key) for a several days, have to say that my opinion - the best hotel at Sofia. You feel luxury here but the prices are not really high. The key - ask for renovated room. The breakfast is good, restaurants are the same (but very overpriced). So conclusion - this one is the... More
