How much does Eleve Residences Stone Studios cost per night?

How many stars is Eleve Residences Stone Studios?
Eleve Residences Stone Studios is a 3-star hotel in Sofia-Grad.
What should I book in advance in Sofia?
Boyana Church tickets — slots for eight people every 15 minutes and July-August mornings sell out. Rila Monastery day tours the day before is usually fine, but Easter weekend needs a week. Hotel-wise, book a month ahead for Orthodox Easter, the 24 May weekend, and any Vitosha snow weekend when Dragalevtsi and Simeonovo fill with skiers. Regular weekends in Sredets need only a few days' notice.
What is a typical nightly rate for a hotel in Sofia?
A clean two-star or guesthouse private room in Vazrazhdane runs €30-45, a central three-star double in Sredets or Oborishte sits at €50-80, and four-stars around Vitosha Boulevard start at €100. The five-stars — Grand Hotel Sofia, Sense, InterContinental — begin around €180 and climb from there. Breakfast is usually included below four-star and charged separately (€8-13) above it. Bulgaria adopted the euro in 2026, so the rate you see is the rate you pay.
Is Sofia a walkable city?
The centre absolutely is — Sredets, Oborishte, Serdika and Vazrazhdane are all within a 20-minute walk of each other, and the yellow-brick streets around the Presidency are traffic-calmed. Pavements are uneven in places and winter ice is real from December to February, so pack proper shoes. Anything beyond the centre — Boyana, Bankya, Pancharevo, Dragalevtsi — needs the metro, a bus or a taxi. Vitosha Boulevard itself is fully pedestrianised.
Which churches and religious sites should I actually see in Sofia?
Five: Alexander Nevsky Cathedral (the gold-domed 1912 landmark), Sveta Sofia Basilica next door (6th century, the city’s namesake), the Boyana Church (UNESCO, 13th-century frescoes, €5 entry), the Rotunda of St George (4th century, hidden in a courtyard behind the Presidency), and Sveta Nedelya on the main square. If you have a day free, the Rila Monastery is 117 km south and the reason many Orthodox pilgrims come to Bulgaria. All five city sites are within a 15-minute walk of Serdika metro.
What is the best area to stay in Sofia for first-time visitors?
Sredets is the answer for a first visit — it puts you within a 10-minute walk of Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Sveta Nedelya, the Serdica ruins and the yellow-brick government quarter. Oborishte just to the north is quieter but equally central. Both sit above Serdika metro, so the airport is 20 minutes away on Line 1. Expect three-star doubles at €50-80.

About Dragalevtsi
Dragalevtsi is a foothill village on Vitosha's northern flank, absorbed into Sofia's municipality but with a village character of winding lanes, walled gardens and forest at the top of the street. The 14th-century Dragalevtsi Monastery sits in the woods 20 minutes' walk above the village. The chairlift climbs to Bai Krastyo and connects with the Aleko ski area, though it is intermittent and sometimes runs only on weekends; bus 64 to Aleko or bus 122 to Simeonovo cable car are alternatives. By 9pm the lanes are dark and silent apart from two or three lit mehanas. There is no bar street, late shop or nightlife. Evenings centre on mehanas like Chevermeto for grilled meat and folk music. On clear weekends there is tandem paragliding from the ridge near the chairlift.
