Spanish-chain hotel in the centre, a few minutes' walk from Sofia University and Alexander Nevsky Cathedral.
Eurostars Sofia City is a hotel at Stara Planina Street 6 in central Sofia, Bulgaria, operated by a Spanish hotel chain and positioned in the university and cathedral quarter. Sofia University St Kliment Ohridski and Alexander Nevsky Cathedral are both a few minutes' walk away, and the surrounding streets include the Doctors' Garden, the National Gallery, the National Assembly and a dense cluster of cafes, bookshops and restaurants frequented by students and locals. The Sofia University metro station is close, linking the hotel to Serdika, the airport and the business districts. The area is among the more pleasant in the centre for walking, with leafy streets and well-maintained historic buildings. The hotel falls in the mid-range category, with typical rates of EUR 70-150 per night, and offers Double Rooms, Twin Rooms and Family Rooms. Listed amenities include Wi-Fi, air conditioning and a restaurant or breakfast room. Breakfast is the main meal on site, and the neighbourhood around Stara Planina Street and nearby Oborishte offers many dining options, including Bulgarian, Italian and international restaurants. No pool or spa is listed. The service character is that of an international chain hotel, with front-desk staff able to arrange taxis, airport transfers and city information, and the mix of room types suits couples, business travellers and families. The location is particularly convenient for visitors attending events at the university or the nearby institutions, and for those who want to see the principal monuments of Sofia on foot. Evening walks to the Ivan Vazov National Theatre and the Sofia City Garden are easy. Rates vary by season and by event calendar, with spring and autumn typically busy. Guests are advised to confirm facilities, parking and breakfast terms directly with the hotel before booking. Rates and availability change with the season, so checking current prices on official or major booking channels is a sensible step. Reviews from recent guests can also help confirm cleanliness, noise levels and the quality of the breakfast before a reservation is made.
