索非亞飯店 － 鄰近St. Nedelya Church

優點: Great service, huge rooms, good value for money

缺點: Beds made of cast concrete

優點: Excellent central location Enormous bedroom and bathroom

缺點: Slow hotel taxi, quicker to go out on street and order your own

優點: They did not give me a room even though I had prepaid for it.

缺點: Central Hotel appears to be running a "bait and switch" where they lure you in with a great low rate (in my case £45 for a deluxe room) and then when you show up they tell you they're full and they transfer you to a different hotel farther away (in my case the Ramada which is not a Hotel I ever would have chosen although the receptionists were nice and helpful). The lady at the Central Hotel check-in said "this has never happened before" but a receptionist at the Ramada (rolling their eyes) said it happens 2-3 times a month. Kayak.co.uk should be aware of this scam as it is damaging to it's reputation as a reliable booking service. This was my first visit to Sofia and only had one day so the whole experience wasted my time and left me feeling frustrated and taken advantage of.
