Hotels in Bulgaria

If you are looking for hotels in Bulgaria that will allow you to explore some of the best cities the country has to offer, then we recommend that you consider staying at the Maison Hotel in Sofia. The capital city has a lot to offer, including city walks, great food, and a cheap friendly nightlife that is ideal for backpackers. The public transport system is well organised and is run by the Sofia Urban Mobility Centre, and includes buses, trams, and metro services. The most popular way to get around Sofia is on the metro, as it has three main lines and is affordable. Another great place to visit in Bulgaria is Sozopol. We recommend you stay in the Apolonia Resort as it is well located to visit the Black Sea beaches, that run to the south all the way to the border with Turkey, and it has the famous Sunny Beach to the north.

For travellers who are looking to book cheap hotels in Bulgaria that are well located to visit some of the most popular attractions, we recommend the Hotel Residence Hebros. It is in Plovdiv, where you can go and visit the ancient Roman theatre that still hosts musical performances, opera, and theatre shows to this day. The theatre dates back to the 1st Century AD and is one of the world’s best preserved Roman theatres. Another good option is to stay at the Hotel Premier Veliko Tarnovo, as it is located close to the Tsaravets Fortress, which stands on the spot where the Tsars ruled the country from almost 800 years ago. You can explore the ruins and look at the old homes and churches that surround the fortress.

If you are interested in nightlife, then we recommend that you stay in Sofia as there are a lot of Bulgaria hotels that are in popular party areas of the city, such as the Hotel Triada. It is close to the Bar Flip Flop, where you can enjoy food and drinks that are displayed on a menu that is written on the back of a flip flop. Or maybe you would like to explore the city a little and meet some new people on the Tipsy Pub Crawl that stops off at four bars and supplies complimentary drinks. Varna is another popular city for nightlife and we recommend the Hotel Perfect, as it gives easy access to the Mojito Beach Bar, which offers beautiful views of the sea, a good crowd, and food and drinks.

If you are visiting Bulgaria for the history, then we recommend that you stay at the Rila Hotel Borovets, in Borovets, as it is so close to the Rila Monastery. The monastery was built on the site of St Ivan of Rila’s cave and tomb, and it was built by his students to honour him in the 10th Century. Another fantastic option is to stay in the Mirage Hotel in Burgas and visit the Nessebar, which is a World Heritage Site and ancient city that dates to the Hellenistic period.
