Great place to stay! The host is awesome and helpful. Very beautiful location and the view from our balcony. If I'm coming back I know I will be staring in this place again. Private parking and great food in a place called The School.

It was the first hotel of our trip and we weren't disappointed at all. Large and sunny room with balcony and nice view on the forest and faraway city. The owner runs the place personally and makes sure you are happy. He's cheerful and very discreet. The location is strategic, even if it's on the outskirts of Sofia. 20 minutes to get to city center.

I loved this place. The owner waited to welcome me when I had a late flight. My room and the hotel was extremely clean, comfortable, great shower , and wifi. The hotel is in a great position with a view down to the city and the mountains & lots of stuff nearby. Breakfast was great. Thank you!!

Noce location. Nice, large rooms. Coming from Greece, I saw the bathroom as a huge place on its own. But it nice, easy to move around. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Definitely a good option next time I go to Sofia.

Great room very clean and tidy. The location is wonderfull. The scenery you see from the balcony is outsanding. There is an easy parking in the Hotel area. The staff is very kind and speaks English. Very good value for money. The owner loves this hotel and you can see that in every detail! I definately found the place to stay when I am in Sofia.

Breakfast was poor. But they asked me at what time I would prefer breakfast, and after I informed the staff that I don't like eggs they instantly brought me something else. Next morning they were even more organized. They also serve espresso! It is a great 3 star hotel, and they love their work!

The location is up the mountain of Vitusha, with lovely walks in the woods nearby. We did not go back down to the city but enjoyed the ambiance of the Boyana District. The owner was very accommodating and welcomed us warmly even though it was almost midnight! We went directly to bed and sorted all payments the next day. Breakfast was served on site. We had dinner next door at his restaurant - delicious! Ho organised a taxi for us to get back to the bus station. Boyana Orthodox Church is very close by, a World Heritage Site and well worth a visit.

WiFi was slow. Our room faced west and was warm from the afternoon sun, but it was quiet outside so we slept with the window open.
Very friendly staff - they offered us sandwiches when we said we would check out before breakfast started. The room was comfortable with a good size bathroom and a balcony with a view. The hotel's location is great. There is a nice cafe in a leafy square outside and a good restaurant with a lovely outdoor area 50m away. And the glorious Boyana Church is only a few metres walk away.

Intercontinental breakfast would be much better overall. Staff are very polite and nice but some days the breakfast just didn't met with the expectations of non-bulgarian guests. It's a small issue but could be very important.

“Cosy and quaint hotel just a minute or two away from Boyana Church!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 1 night
While this is a great place to stay if you want to see the Boyana Church and perhaps go for a hike to the Boyana Waterfall, I am not sure that I would recommend it if you want to explore the city centre of Sofia. It is quite far away, and you need to take a bus and then a tram (or a taxi, of course) to reach the city centre.
Hotel Villa Boyana is perfect if you are looking to explore the Boyana area and maybe take a hike or two in the mountains. It is a quaint and small hotel located just a few minutes away from the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Boyana Church, so if you want to visit the church, this hotel could be a great place to stay - this is exactly what we did! The room was really great, with a nice, wide bed, a perfectly good bathroom and a flatscreen TV with a whole bunch of both Bulgarian and International channels. The breakfast was great as well, though I should point out that you do not get to decide what you get; breakfast is quite simply served. We enjoyed it very much nonetheless. Krassimir was very friendly and helpful throughout the entire stay and helped us book a taxi to the airport when we checked out.

Nothing, it was perfect
We stayed here for our first couple of nights rather than in central Sofia as we wanted to visit the National History Museum and the Boyana Church and this hotel was a great choice. The room was huge and very clean and comfortable and there were mountain views from our balcony. There was no air con but the room was nice and cool, on a 30 degree day!!!,, and staff provided a fan in case we needed it also. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We had a different yet plentiful breakfast every morning which we really enjoyed. They recommended The School Restaurant nearby for dinner which was an excellent choice. There was a lovely smell when you walked into the hotel which was very pleasant. We enjoyed the scented toilet paper also, I actually put a few sheets in my luggage! A really lovely start to our holiday in Bulgaria.
