About
Hotel Simona Complex
Hotel Simona Complex sits directly off Sofia's ring road (Okolovrasten Pat), about 20 km from the airport. With just 15 rooms, it functions like a large roadside inn: easy parking, quick check-in, and a restaurant that doubles as a local entertainment spot. The property suits travellers passing through by car, or anyone who prefers to be outside the city centre with a vehicle.
Rooms are simple but well-kept, some with balconies and all with kettles, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. The on-site restaurant serves Bulgarian cuisine with a garden, and evenings often feature live music, karaoke, or folklore performances. The hotel is pet-friendly, offers valet parking, and runs a paid airport shuttle.

In brief

Strengths

- Families well catered for — The restaurant has a children's playground (indoor and outdoor), plus a children's menu and play area, making it a practical stop for families.
- Lively on-site restaurant — Serving Bulgarian cuisine, the 80-seat tavern offers live entertainment, folklore shows, karaoke, and a garden for outdoor dining.
- Great value for money — With a price from £87 per night and consistently high value ratings (7.6), guests repeatedly highlight the reasonable cost for the quality.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Basic rooms, not luxury — Rooms are simple with minimal decor, which some might find austere, especially given the one-star rating.
- Location is for drivers — Set on the ring road, it's about 20 km from the airport and around 10 minutes by car to Mega Mall Lyulin; without a car, getting to central Sofia could be challenging.
- Evening noise potential — The restaurant's live entertainment, karaoke, and dances could generate noise that might disturb light sleepers, especially in rooms close to the venue.
- Limited public transport — Being on the outskirts, public transport options are sparse; guests without a car may find it difficult to explore Sofia without a taxi or shuttle.
