The Art Plaza Hotel enjoys a fabulous location, right by Vitosha Boulevard, the main shopping street, and within walking distance of many attractions. Guests appreciate the good breakfast spread and the convenience of having all necessities in the clean, air-conditioned rooms, some of which feature bathtubs. While the breakfast is generally well-received, some have found it basic. guests find it a great value, with comfy beds and the option to open windows for fresh air.
