Room properties were not enough. Very bad pillows, couldn't sleep well 2 night due to the very soft pillows and after we asked they couldn't serve better ones. No slippers, no toothbrush.. for evertthing you need to call and order.. not like other luxury Hiltons. Location is perfect no problem and service was good, breakfast was satisfied.

Everything is fine at Hilton Sofia, but just a bit far away from old town which takes around 30 min. walking distance. The female receptionists are more friendly, the male receptionists are not that friendly. The guy in the morning of Oct.07 around 8am on the reception who helped to call a tax and the guy in the morning of Oc5.12 around 9:30am who helped to check out, both attitudes towards customers should be trained more, not friendly driven. That's why I couldn't give higher rate.

The rooms are small and incredibly overpriced for a premium hotel in Sofia, yet missing some things such as bath robe, slippers, rain showers, heck the showers don't even have doors?!? They have a glass divider separating the shower from the sink spanning from the floor to ceiling but no door... which is weird. Also it turns out a deluxe room is only deluxe because it's located on level 6 and above in the building yet it is not different than a standard room in any meaningful way. The restaurant menu options are also incredibly limited and just as overpriced. When you are checking out, you have to remember to pay for parking separately because they don't include it in your room service bill. Last but not least I'm not a fan of the Croft & Barrow soap products they have in the rooms.
