Sofia Palace Hotel

Sofia Palace Hotel is a budget hotel at Tri Ushi Street 8 in central Sofia, in the Tsar Simeon area close to Hristo Botev Boulevard and Vitosha Boulevard. Tri Ushi is a short street just west of the pedestrian shopping axis, and the location lets guests walk to Vitosha Boulevard, the Sveta Nedelya Square area and the Women's Market within roughly ten minutes. Serdika and NDK metro stations are both reachable on foot or by a short taxi ride, connecting the hotel to the airport and Central Station. The area is mixed residential and commercial, with bakeries, small restaurants and shops catering to local residents as well as visitors. The hotel is a simple, no-frills property intended for travellers to Bulgaria who prefer to spend on sightseeing rather than accommodation. Rooms are offered as Single, Double and Twin Rooms with air conditioning and Wi-Fi, and breakfast is available. There is no spa, pool or large restaurant, and guests usually eat in the surrounding cafes and the traditional mehana restaurants of the centre, where grilled meat, salads and Bulgarian wine are modestly priced. Service is basic and friendly, suited to solo travellers, backpackers moving up from hostels, couples on a budget and short business trips. Rates are generally around EUR 40 to EUR 90 per night, which is low for a central address. Visitors should expect smaller rooms and simpler decor than in mid-range chains, and street noise can reach lower floors, so a higher room is a sensible request. The location is well placed for day trips: buses and trains to the Rila Monastery, Plovdiv and Vitosha mountain depart from stations reachable by metro or tram. The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and the National Theatre are around fifteen minutes away on foot.
