Hotel Premier Sofia Airport

Hotel Premier Sofia Airport

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is good. Receptionist and restaurant staff were excellent. Getting the shuttle from airport to hotel was impossible and agonising because we didn’t realise one has to register beforehand. We waisted over an hour in the airport, multiple phone calls were not answered even when police attempted to help us. We had to take a taxi. We were helped by the receptionist once we got to hotel to register for shuttle for the next morning. The ride takes about 5-10 minutes. The driver was polite and understanding."

The only issue was that there is no parking as advertised so finding somewhere to leave the car was an issue (although getting a fine was the cheapest option compared to the extortionate prices for local garages so just ended up paying for a daily parking fine of 15 euro)."
