傳奇飯店

Perfect location. Close to the Paradise Mall and other attractions. Easy to get a taxi if you need to go somewhere. Close to shops to buy food etc. make sure you try their hot chocolate at breakfast time and they can also borrow you an umbrella when needed if it rains and you have to go out. Very nice hotel and people.

My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights in early September ‘23, at the beginning of a group tour of the Balkans. It was comfortable and convenient for the tour, but it is a bit far from the historic area if your purpose is to explore the city. The hotel is, however, in a pleasant area of Sofia and right on a tram and bus line that will take you to the center in about 15-20 minutes. Tip: using public transportation in Sofia is simple – just get on and tap a chip-enabled credit card on the fare box. When we were there the cost was about $1 US. There are a number of restaurants nearby, one of which the group opted to return twice because it was so good – Arivera (Italian). The hotel is a modern multi-story building set slightly back from the street. The small lobby adjoins a large and pleasant breakfast room off to one side. For the size of the hotel, it was surprising to find just one small elevator that was overwhelmed at times. Our room (502) was large, with attractive modern decor and a view over the boulevard in front of the hotel. It had twin beds, two night stands with outlets, a desk and a mini-bar. There was an open closet area with shelves and a safe. The bathroom was large, with a tub/shower combo and plenty of counter space. The breakfast buffet had a pretty good selection – eggs, bacon, yogurt, etc., and a small amount of whole fresh fruit. Good coffee was available in a single-cup machine. All in all, the Legend is a comfortable hotel convenient to the tram and bus lines, but far from the historic center. Before joining the group, we stayed at the Rosslyn Thracia, and it would be a good alternative if you were on your own and wanted to be closer to the center.

I enjoyed my stay at Legends Hotel: they were flexible with my plans and worked with Priceline so I was not overcharged; they helped me find reliable transportation and good dining options; made copies of my covid tests, etc. My room was large and very clean. I have a travel business and I certainly recommend Legends Hotel!
