Cheap luxury - top floor restaurant with panoramic views in the five-star Arena di Serdica hotel, worth going to if you fancy a bit of luxury for once and still don't want to break the bank. Superb service and food as you would expect from such a hotel and still comes out cheap. Unbelievably attentive and polite staff, most expensive main course was 25lv (£10).

Arena di Serdica Hotel, 2-4 Budapeshta Str. Sofia. (down steps from Moskovska Street)

A collection of pretty average rooms in a residential district of Bulgaria, run by the rowdiest gaggle of youngsters in town.
The downstairs basement bar has a set of decks in the corner, permanently prepared for impromptu parties…that seem to take place nightly.
For a bunch of arty ravers, they put together a cracking continental(ish) breakfast, served in a basement room covered in top notch wall art.

A new hotel, excellent location, 5 mins walk from anywhere. Ticks all the boxes for a city hotel, with prices a fraction of its peers at this level. A quiet, comfortable sleep, fast wi-fi everywhere, no hookers, bars, etc, and an excellent buffet for breakfast.

A group of friends and I decided this June to take a trip to Sofia, probably one of the best decisions of the year.

Pri Yafata is a traditional Bulgarian restaurant, complete with live music, decoration and a vast menu. The food is also very reasonably priced.

This place is also the top recommendation by Lonely Planet and quite rightly so! If you're in Sofia, it's certainly worth a visit.

East to find, just off of the Blvd Vitosha and a short walk east of Makedonia Square. The Lonely Planet guide book gives the best directions as do most hostels and hotels who will no doubt have heard of it!
