'Art' doesn't describe the tasteless decor of this shabby, ill-managed, den. Frayed carpets, smoke-smelling foyer, cheaply-fitted rooms, inexpert service, all create a rather low-glamour ambience. You would be better off elsewhere at no greater expense. I complained about the smoke in the foyer, and the receptionist said it came from the hotel manager. If you want 'black' tea for breakfast,...

I had the name Arte Hotel, a lone taxi driver at the bus station who had no clue where that might be (I had forgotten to write the address down) but he looked something up and took me to Art Otel instead! Which fortunately had rooms. Very lovely surprise. Comfy room but a cold day so staff gave me a... More

I have stayed in this hotel over a number of years for period ranging one night to a month. On this occassion I returned for one night on business after a gap of a year. I am pleased to report it is still a good small friendly hotel. It is in the heart of Sofia and provides good value accomodation... More

I've stayed at this hotel numerous times in the last three years. During my last stay, I noticed that the service, the breakfast quality and the room quality has diminished. My room was like a cave with improper lighting. The breakfast was terrible. The once charming hotel is making cuts while keeping its price point. This is NOT a four... More

Nice hotel, helpful reception. Located in the center in a small street. The hotel building is about the only one renovated. Our room (premium room) was very large and had a large terrasse looking at a poor neighborhood. Buffet breakfast is served in a nice room and offers a large selection. The hotel also offers a navette service from the... More

Searched many sites looking for opinions on hotels in Sofia; especially as were travelling with two small children. Came across Art Otel, and based on the fact that it had no negative feedback, apart from one guest about the breakfast, I booked the room. We were pleasantly surprised, it is very central and the reception staff were very friendly and... More

Attractive Boutique hotel, classic 20's style facade leading into a tasteful and stylish reception area. Well sited in the heart of Sofia, only a few yards from all the main shopping areas and within walking distance of most of the tourist attractions. All the staff that I met spoke reasonable English and check in and check out were both handled... More

Stay here most times I am in Sofia as it is very convenient for the offices I usually need to visit. Located very centrally just off the main shopping street although it can be a bit noisy if your room is at the front on a low floor. Breakfasts reasonably good. More
