Residence Oborishte

This elegant establishment -- a converted private residence dating from the 1930s -- is more guesthouse than hotel, with a tiny public area and limited facilities, but the rooms are great. The seven suites are spacious and tastefully appointed in royal colors, and two of them have fireplaces (useful when Sofia has a bout of cold weather). The staff isn't huge, but there are always at least two people on hand to offer you a complimentary welcome drink, arrange for breakfast to be served in your room (good idea as the breakfast room is poky), or arrange a candlelit dinner (given prior notice); the free pickup service from the airport is also useful. Located near Doctor's Gardens, the most prestigious residential area in Sofia, this is about 10 minutes' walk from Alexander Nevski Cathedral and the city center.
