Ideally set right in the heart of Sofia, Villa Magicland is a recently renovated guest house, featuring free WiFi and private parking. The air-conditioned accommodation is less than 1 km from NDK. There is parking on-site and the property features an electric vehicle charging station.

What a find this place is...... The location is perfect just a few minutes walk from the main busy bustling Vitosha Boulevard. We have travelled throughout Europe and this property represents value for money like nowhere we have been. A beautifully presented top floor apartment that was so quirky and modern. Loads of space, clean and comfortable. Entry and check in was easy and they were very flexible about check out arrangements. The apartment has all you need for a private city break but also has a beautiful communal covered garden and vommunal kitchen facilities. The kitchen space in the actual apartment was quite limited and we had expected more - but what the apartment did not have was in the main kitchen/dining area below. However the apartment kitchen would have benefited from a few extra touches such as mugs/cups in the apartment and other kitchen utensils (eg corkscrew). It would also have been nice for a couple of extra toilet rolls to be in the apartment. Small things but things that would alleviate frustrations (running out of toilet roll never a nice thing).  Some complimentary tea and coffee would also have been nice. The open fire was a lovely bonus; as well as the dressing gowns and slippers. The balcony was spacious but was overlooked and could do with some privacy screening. But all in all we were very happy with this place. It absolutely suited our purpose and exceeded expectations. Highly recommended. I rarely give full ratings to accommodation but the low cost along with location and comfort means it cannot be anything else other than a top rated property. Well done Villa Majicland Sofia!!

    It was a cheap and cheerful place to stay the night with a chance to chat with locals and other travellers. There are shared rooms/dormitories and facilities, so don't expect a palace - you're not paying for one - but it was clean and comfortable and I slept so well I had to go straight to the airport without having time to find breakfast. The kitchen looked okay, but bring your own Tetley's/PG tips.
