"I like that the hotel is in a good location. You can walk to many sites easily. The bed is comfortable, the shower is good, but the breakfast was not good. There wasn't a huge selection to choose from."
Metropolitan Hotel Sofia, a member of Radisson Individuals
10/10 Excellent
"The hotel rooms were very modern and seemed recently refurbished, at least on the floor we were allocated to. Beds were comfortable and linens of good quality. The bathroom was spacious and toiletries of good quality. We had several rooms in our party and the hotel ensured we were in rooms close to each other, which was appreciated. Although the rooms appeared clean, there could be more attention to detail. One of our party received a cut from broken glass shards, which had been left under the rug by a previous occupant. When the reception was informed it was promptly cleaned, but the apology was not really adequate. Other than that, the staff were helpful. The reception space was nice, if a little dark. We never had to wait long for lifts. The breakfast was really good, with lots of options allowing for different choices over our stay of a few days. The restaurant area, and the bar, were pleasant. The only issue was that the hot plates were not sufficient, so almost always the hot options were barely warm or even almost cold. That was a little disappointing, but could be easily rectified. The hotel is a little out of the city, but it could be easily reached by bus or car. There was always space for our car in the parking area. Our towels were changed every day, even though we followed the instructions to spare them being washed. Meanwhile, we would rather have had one change of our bed linen during the stay instead. Overall, a nice hotel, which I would be happy to recommend."
"After spending one night at a "horror hotel" upon arrival, we were able to book our group into the Best Western Plus Olives City Hotel. This was the right move - we were three adults and two kids, and the "two-room apartment" they had on the 7th floor was perfect, and an added bonus of a hotel parking and an indoor pool made our lives easier for the duration of the stay. Breakfast was good too! Recommend!"
"The bamboo lounge at the bottom of the hotel played the loudest music with every beat of the bass resounding through the floors and walls of the hotel. We were on the 5th floor and it felt that the party was right underneath us until 4am in the MORNING!!!!!!!! Leaving us all with next to NO SLEEP! what is the point of a hotel if you can get sleep?!
Booked a room for two adults and two kids with doubled bed and sofa bed, arrived with two single beds and a sofa bed. When reception was called to see if they can offer us a double bed at least, they said we just have to deal with it as the hotel is fully booked."
"Excellent spacious apartment with great transport links very close by
Supermarket within walking distance
Local bar just outside
Would recommend highly to anyone wanting a break in Sofia"
"The location has easy access to a bus stop (right out in front of it) lots of food options within a 15 minute walk.
Some parts of my room were updated with a more modern look. Just others had remains of what once was. There were 3 wall mounted light sources, non of which worked.
The clothing cabinet doors were not set right (off the sliding hinge) and the mirror one had several cracks.
The bathroom ceiling had outlines and stain evidence of mold that had been painted over.
The daily cleaning was totally random. Some days they would stop by at 930 in the morning and one day it wasn't until 1530 when cleaning came by.
The bed was 2 twin mattresses pushed together, with a blanket meant for a Queen size and not the king size layout it had.
The air-conditioning could never cool the room below 24°C and if you opened the window at night. The noise from the busy road, never ended. Be it students racing each other well past 1 in the morning or just general automotive noise.
The 2 rooms on each side, had a balcony and the guests for those rooms during my stay, would be out on the balcony until 2 in the morning talking and drinking.
The room had a lack of power outlets as well."
