Close to Sofia National Opera, the four-storey L'Opera Guest House is a 5-minute walk from Alexander Nevski Cathedral and provides elegant en-suite rooms with a computer, free internet connection and satellite TV.

This is an old villa constructed presumably between the 2 world wars. Its location is extremely centrally: several central sites of Sofia are in a walking distance from the street. The villa is kept clean. The beds were very comfortable. Staff was helpful: they allowed us to leave our luggage in the hotel until evening, and also called taxi.

Lovely place right next to big shops like Billa and Lilly Drogerie. There is plenty of public parking space even right in front of the building entrance. The apartament is on the first floor and it’s convenient even if you have a lot of luggage to transfer it from the car to the apartament. The windows look to a nice green space outside the building which is also a plus.
