Guest reviews for Hotel Rila Sofia

Everyone (1)
4 out of 5
Das Hotel verströmt den Charme des 70er Jahre Sozialismus. Die Ausstattung ist genügend. Das Badezimmer eher karg. Das Zimmer sauber. Balkon mit guter Aussicht. Lage super zentral mitten in der Stadt. Kein Hotel für ein romantisches Wochenende, aber ideal für einen 2-Tage Städtetrip in Sofia.
