Located 1640.4 ft from the Presidential Building, this 2-star Sofia hotel features free Wi-Fi throughout the property and a 24-hour reception. The Stivan Iskar Hotel rooms include en suite bathrooms with toiletries, while select accommodations offer seating areas with armchairs or sofas. Suites provide terraces with city views, flat-screen TVs with satellite channels, and separate living rooms. A café bar serves drinks on-site, and eight restaurants, including Felicita and Leo's Pizza Trattoria, operate within 984.3 ft. The property stands amid cultural attractions, with the National Art Gallery, Sofia Court House, and Russian Church St Nicholas all 1640.4 ft away. Serdika Metro Station and Alexander Nevsky Cathedral are within 2624.7 ft, while Sofia's central bus and railway stations are 0.5 miles from Stivan Iskar.

Pros

Eight diverse dining options within 984.3 ft, including Melo by the Ruins and Mi Casa

Walking distance to six major cultural landmarks, including the National Opera and Ballet

Suite accommodations feature city views and mountain vistas from private terraces

Parquet flooring and satellite TV channels in select rooms

“Stivan Iskar Hotel is family-run and well-placed for exploring Sofia's center. It presents a simple option for budget-conscious travellers, though reports of cleanliness issues should be considered. I would say, its main draw is the location and the potential for a personal touch.”
