Fodor's Expert Review Grand Hotel Sofia

Fancy some 5-star pampering in the heart of Sofia at 3-star prices? Hotels in Bulgaria can offer fabulous value to visitors from the U.S. and Western Europe, and the Grand is living proof of this. Each of its rooms covers a minimum 500 square feet, all are sumptuously appointed with luxuriant furnishings, and all of its marble-filled bathrooms have a separate shower and bathtub. If you don't want to step outside, there are four restaurants and two bars to choose from, as well as spa and fitness facilities featuring a sauna, steam bath, Jacuzzi, solarium, and beauty parlor. If you do choose to go out, you will find you are also only steps from the main downtown sights.
