The hotel and restaurant were wonderful. We were unable to use the shuttle service from the airport to the hotel so we had to walk. It's doable but not pleasant with luggage. Taxi wanted cash only!

I always stay at this hotel when I have an early flight the next morning. Perfect and comfortable and very close to the terminal. Free airports pick up and drop off. Quick check-in and check-out. Personnel is responsive and kind. You even have a snack or fruit for breakfast. I highly recommend it.

We came from the countryside and stayed there to catch an early flight in the morning. Room & facilities were very clean, restaurant was convienent and the shuttle service was a blessing. Because we left early the free breakfast was not available but the hotel gives a nice simple bag breakfast which was well appreciated....

Rude & Terrible shuttle service DRIVER.
I arrived in Sofia airport and requested for a pick-up from the airport. We were told it’ll be 15 mins. I waited for a full hour before I finally saw a van with the Ibis sign. The driver was dropping someone off and was about to leave when I approached him - I was very annoyed and disappointed. I voiced my opinion when it had taken him an hour when I was told it would be 15 mins. I don’t mind waiting but be honest with me. It I was told 15 mins, I expected it to be either on time or 10-15 mins late but with an explanation. Not 45 mins late and was then screamed at the entire way to the hotel by the rude, obnoxious drive. He is an absolutely arrogant and represents your hotel extremely poorly. I told him I had called him 2 times on the hotel shuttle mobile number he refuted it. Even after I had shown his the missed calls. He continued to argue with him and shouted at me. It got no where as I said to him I would discuss the service failure with the Hotel Manager. He replied rudely and arrogantly “YOU CAN TALK TO WHOEVER YOU WANT”. What a rude and arrogant man. When I arrived at the hotel, I spoke to the Manager on duty. He apologised profusely and remembered very well when the call was made for pickup. He was also at a loss why he didn’t turn up as promised. My hunch is, the shuttle driver had forgotten to pick me up and never did turn up. When I turned up in his face when he dropped someone off, he was taken aback I was even waiting for him!

The hotel was clean , the shuttle excellent service, the staff friendly and helpful. Rooms were small and not much fresh air, breakfast was good ,but small selection. My expectation for the original price of almost 100 $ was much better facility ans service. For this standard is overrrated and expensive. But generally clean and the bed and pillows very comfortable 😌

The Ibis Sofia airport is a typical airport hotel. The free transport is good. The dining oportunities are limited. The rooms have nothing belonging to the hotel other than the TV, sheets and towels. The room had a coffee maker, but not a cup to use. The air conditioning in the room did not work. If you need any hotel supplies, buy them at the Sofia airport before arriving at the hotel.

A lot of dust under the table and in the room corners, hair all over the place... Airport shuttle delayed for 10 minutes, actually arrived to hotel parking 10 minutes after scheduled departure time due to make a ride for hotel stuff. Personnel at the reception just responded for inquiry just wait for the shuttle, no explanation, no estimated time...

Poor hotel, not meeting Ibis standards
I have stayed in Ibis hotels all over Europe and Asia so I know what the standard should be and this hotel didn’t meet it. There is a lack of basic amenities in the room; no bin in bedroom, no cups or glasses of any description in the room, a kettle was provided in the room but nothing else was provided to assist you in making a hot drink. The restaurant was only open 5pm - 10pm despite the advertised hours being much longer. Bar drinks very expensive. In the room there was dirt, grime and hairs everywhere. No attention to detail in the cleaning regime. The walls were thin, I could hear next door getting a text message, having a normal chat, running the tap etc. The towels are thin, scruffy and old looking. Inefficient and loud aircon system in room. I was surprised to read that the hotel was built in 2014 as everything looks tired, dirty and as a result feels older than 10 years. From time to time the room smelled of cigarette smoke which seemed to be coming through the bathroom air vent. Expensive hotel for what it is. Would never stay again. Ordered a vegetarian take away breakfast for an early departure but none was provided, in the morning there were no veggie breakfasts available. Pros Bed reasonably comfortable although mattress topper moved about a bit. Close to airport 24/7 Airport shuttle (book your time at reception)
