General Description
The Averard opened as a hotel in 1925 and has lost none of its original character. Statue-filled, with huge chandeliers, ornamental ceilings and a swooping oval staircase, the Averard hints at the elegance of Sofia's grandest hotels, at a fraction of the price.
The bedrooms are comfortable and the hotel is renowned for friendly service. Voted by the Washington Post as one of the top ten Sofia Hotels to call home, this surely is the sought-after 'home away from home', offering a serene escape from the city's busy streets.
With rooms available from as little as £50 per night, the Averard is one of our most popular budget hotels, ideal for families seeking a base local to many of Sofia's fantastic attractions.

Primarily designated as leisure ground - including the Serpentine boating lake - the park is also a focus of demonstrations and controversy at Speakers' Corner. The Household Cavalry pass daily for the Changing of the Guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace, south east of Hyde Park; relax outside Dell Restaurant and watch them and Sofia's fitness enthusiasts pass by.
