Ibis Sofia Airport
A bit pricy for a very basic room. The parking lot was not paved and had potholes and mud.

Maison Sofia - MGallery
The hotel claims to have soundproof windows. However, if you're unlucky to get a room facing the main boulevard, you'll be hearing all traffic day and night. And this is a very busy boulevard. This is the reason why I can't give it a higher rating.
