City hotel in south-east Sofia, served by buses to the metro.
Olive's City Hotel is a budget hotel at Prof. Hristo Vakarelski Street 1A in south-east Sofia, in the direction of Studentski Grad, the large student district of the Bulgarian capital. The location is outside the historic centre, in a residential and university area where prices are lower and the atmosphere is local. Buses connect the neighbourhood to the nearest metro stations, from which the line reaches Serdika, Sofia University and the airport, so a trip to the centre typically takes around thirty to forty minutes depending on connections. The Vitosha foothills, the Boyana area and the Business Park Sofia office district are reachable by bus or taxi, which makes the property useful for business visitors with appointments in the south-east and for travellers who want cheaper rooms. The hotel is simple and practical, with Single, Double and Twin Rooms equipped with air conditioning and Wi-Fi, and breakfast available. There is no spa, pool or formal restaurant, and the surrounding streets offer inexpensive student-oriented cafes, bakeries, fast food and supermarkets. Service is basic and suited to budget travellers, students, visiting academics, and guests attending events at the nearby universities. Rates typically run from about EUR 40 to EUR 90 per night. Visitors should plan transport carefully, since the last buses and metro services shape evening plans, and a taxi or ride-hailing app is a common alternative late at night. The district is quiet compared with downtown and has few historic attractions, so the stay works best when the purpose of the trip is in the south-east of the city. Compared with central options, the savings can be substantial for longer stays.
