Light Hotel

Location: Excellent. 12 minutes walk from Serdica Metro Stop or 5 minutes walk from Lavov Most Metro Stop. Tram Stop 5 minutes away Transport: We bought a 3 day transport card for 10 Lev that gives access to all Metro, Trams & Buses for 3 days. Check In Process: Very quick & efficient. I requested for a Kettle and received one while checking in. Room: Excellent. I requested for a room on a higher floor with balcony and received one which was great. There are a few English channels on the TV like CNN, Sky News, Al Jazeera which kept me on breast with what was happening in the world. Breakfast: Very good choice of food. cornflakes, oats, French toast, toast, croissant, boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, sausages, bacon, cucumber, tomatoes, olives, yoghurt & much more. Restaurants: There are a few restaurants in Lavov Most. We caught Tram 12 or 18 from the Tram Stop at 5 minutes from the hotel and went to Vitosha Boulevard 3 tram stops away, where there was a huge number of options. House Keeping: Very good cleaning service. The rooms were cleaned up when we came back each evening. Check Out Process: Very quick

The quality of the orange juice & Benitsa could be improved. While sitting on the WC in room 45, the Toilet paper is behind you & you have to twist around to get it. The location of the Toilet paper could be changed to make it more convenient.

It's really close to city center. Breakfast was very tasty, anyone could find something to eat. Brownies were amazing, TRY THEM! Staff was very nice and cleaning lady did perfect job. You get clean towels and shampoo with shower gel every day.

The bed was too short. My height is 180cm and the legs exceeded the bed. The balcony was really small, it was like 50cm. Airport is so close to the city and you can hear planes fly right above the hotel. That's not hotels fault, but it bothered me and woke me up few times.

- Nice and very spacious rooms - Nice breakfast which had variety, not the best ever had, but much above average

- The most awful coffee had - any combination with milk (latte/cappuccino) was extremely sweet, probably 100g of sugar in there or I don’t know what type of milk they are using (even the one in the container - we had chosen the parking but it is 200m away and the receptionist sometimes forgot to open it even though we notified him when left the reception. I needed to call or come back to ask again which is very annoying - I did not like the area, seemed a bit off

Hotel "Light" is a very pleasant hotel indeed. The room was very well-appointed and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was decorated very nicely, it had a "boutique hotel" feel to it. Despite being near the centre of Sofia, the hotel is very quiet. It is also within easy walking distance of the Central Train Station and the Central Bus Station. The receptionist during my stay, a delightful young lady called Margarita, was very helpful and welcoming, which made my stay even more pleasant. I'd highly recommend Hotel "Light". - Bryan Hollamby, Northern Greece.

Everything was great, no negatives at all.

This is a decent hotel, about a 10 minute walk to the centre of Sofia. The staff here are very friendly and very helpful. The room is a good size, plenty of space. The beds were comfortable. There is a fridge available also. There was no kettle but we were supplied with one when asked. Breakfast was OK, same menu everyday, but it was a decent choice of hot and cold foods.

The air con was very poor, barely getting any cool air into the room. Thankfully it wasn't too hot, but on a stifling hot day this room would have been very uncomfortable.

Friendly, reasonable proximity to main area., yet only a short walk from the bus station. The mini fridge was cheap, so not a worry if you had something from it. A nice continental spread for breakfast.

Lots of alcoholics hanging about late in the evening and the quiet side street corner stank of urine, I realise that it’s not in the hotels control, but later at night it wasn’t very nice. No English breakfast tea in the morning, or facilities to make a drink in your room. Only tried to use the coffee shop once was told it was closed.

Location is very close to the city center. Our apartment was on the fifth floor, room no 52. It had a wonderful view of the mountains, with a huge balcony. It was on 2 floors. On the first floor: a couch, mini fridge, Tv and on the second floor: 2 huge bedrooms, a balcony, a very nice, clean, well equiped bathroom. Everything was super clean, it smelled really nice. The breakfast was really good and had plenty of choices. We could let our luggages at the reception, while we were out. Lidl was near. All the touristic attractions were in the nearby. Uber was a great choice for moving around.

We had a triple room on the second floor for two nights. Room: The room and bathroom were clean and as you would expect from a 3* hotel. Nothing to complain. We had minibar in the room with sweets, water and other drinks, at reasonable price. Beds were comfortable. The third bed (extensible sofa) was not that comfortable, but ok for 2 nights. the view was in the back of the street, with some old buildings, but anyway, we were there only during the night, and it's expected in that area. Parking: we were travelling with our car, so we reserved a parking place. It is paid and it's located in a enclosed area nearby. So, your car is not on the street (that was really crowded) and safe - all good here. I saw many reviews complaining about parking, that it's not free - but it's clearly stated that it's paid. Breakfast: we had buffet breakfast and it was good, with plenty of cold/warm options, at least for our taste (eggs, cold cuts, omelet, sausages, vegetables etc). Coffee was from coffee machine with beans, and had couple of options (latte/cappuccino/espresso etc) - it was good. There were also some tea options and some sweets (croissants, fruits, brownies, small cookies etc). Staff: usually we don't interact too much with hotel staff when we travel, but everyone was helpful when needed and friendly. Location: the hotel is situated in an area with old buildings, most of them in bad shape. BUT - it's 10 minutes walk from the city center at a reasonable price. Elevator: there is elevator for the upper floors. Final conclusion: a good option for visiting central Sofia, with standard conditions for a 3* hotel, good breakfast and available parking.

There is nothing in particular. The hotel surroundings are not the best, but it's close to city center (10 min walk to Sofia cathedral or the Parliament building).

The hotel was amazing. Breakfast was amazing. Hospitality was perfect. You can't find this quality hotel with this price anywhere else. Thank you light hotel workers for your hospitality. Especially stella was so helpful. We will definetely stay here next time. hotel is 10 minutes to city centre by walk. It means very close. We liked here. Rooms were very clean.

Parking area could be a problem. Hotel has parking lots ıt is 10/EUR for each day. other than that ıf you are lucky to find a place in front of hotel's entrance or roadside. It is also paid but more cheaper. We found a parking place like that. And stella helped us to fill a ticket for it. Don't forget to fill a parking ticket and put it on your car's shield.

Everything was excellent. The room was spacious and extremely comfortable, with AC too which was needed due to how hot it in Sofia. Breakfast was 7am-10am and the weekends are 8am-11am, with a mixture of hot foods, cereals and cold meats and cheeses. There is a coffee machine and some sweet food items too which were all lovely. Staff were really helpful with queries and were happy to help. Great shower, super clean rooms and the location was next to the metro and tram stops, as well as convenience shops nearby.

If the AC was a little quieter as it was a bit loud to have on, but we had the AC on before bed so it wasn't that much of an issue. The hotel does have planes flying overhead, but it is only in the daytime and early evening, so wasn't an issue at all for sleep or relaxing in the room. They do look very cool when looking out the window to see them, so we loved it.
