“Great value hotel within walking distance of everything!”

Great little hotel, very friendly staff, they are extremely helpful and very polite! Location is great, walking distance to many of the great sights! The metro station is only a short walk away so if you're travelling further there is easy access that way. The bed is very comfortable, room is a good size, everything works, no issues at all! No coffee/tea facilities in the room, however there is free coffee/tea in the lobby, which is 24hrs, we were on the top floor but it was still very easy and convenient to get a cup of coffee in the morning! Absolutely nothing bad to say at all about this place! I also highly recommend the restaurant next door!

“Location and smiles”

Incredible location and personnel! It is a small hotel, old furniture, but very clean, roomy and nice rooms. There is no breakfast, but there are enough nearby cafes. Best thing is it is in the very center, but on a quiet street at the same time.

“Above average hotel”

A decent, well priced place with a good location. Reception was ok but variable based on person. Yuri very good. Room was average and clean. Shower was ok but no kettle despite tea and coffee facilities in reception. Worth a go if you want a cost effective, central hotel.

“Convenient location, in need of attention”

We spent two nights in the Diter Hotel. There are some very good things about it but some drawbacks as well. The location could not be beaten. It is very close to the Vitosha Boulevard and within walking distance of all the sights that a visitor to Sofia might wish to see. It is in a quiet street… more

We spent two nights in the Diter Hotel. There are some very good things about it but some drawbacks as well. The location could not be beaten. It is very close to the Vitosha Boulevard and within walking distance of all the sights that a visitor to Sofia might wish to see. It is in a quiet street in a slightly shabby area of flats, small shops, restaurants and bars. There is an excellent restaurant two doors along Han Asparuh Street. Unfortunately the hotel does not offer breakfast although it looks as if it used to have its own restaurant. We went to a nearby cafe for a banitsa each morning. We came by car and one of the reasons for choosing the Diter was that it adverised parking. In fact it has an arrangement with a car park round the corner. We emailed the hotel before our visit and were given accurate directions to the car park. It turned out to be a piece of rough ground where the attendants are experts at squeeing as many cars as possible into a small space. Nevertheless it met our requirements. The hotel looks as if it has seen better days and had an unloved feel. The furnishings inlour room were rather old, there was a tear in the curtain and generally it felt in need or refurbishment. Still, our room was of a good size and the bed was very comfortable and we slept well. The lighting was good and there were plenty of electric sockets. The shower was remarkably fancy for the hotel but the screen was somewhat rickety. Nevertheless it did its job and no water escaped to the rest of the bathroom. Wifi signal was strong and passwork protected. The receptionists spoke excellent English and were pleasant. We found that the safe in our wardrobe was jammed open. We mentioned that it did not work and when we returned it had been repaired. Water and coffee are available free in the reception area of the hotel which was a nice treat. Would we stay there again on a future visit to Sofia? Perhaps, though not for a long stay.
