About
Rooftop Oscar Rooms
Rooftop Oscar Rooms sits on the 5th floor of a building on Dobrudzha Street, in the heart of Sofia. It's a no-frills guest house that leans on its location: a 12-minute walk from the 6th-century Byzantine Saint Sofia Church, and close to the University metro station, tram stops, and bus stops. The area is filled with cafes, bars, restaurants, and government buildings, which makes it feel safe and lively at the same time.
The rooms are straightforward but well-equipped, with air conditioning, heating, flat-screen TVs, tea and coffee facilities, and free toiletries. The rooftop terrace is a genuine highlight, offering a spot to relax with city and mountain views. There's a lift, a safe deposit box, and non-smoking rooms throughout. Pets are not allowed.

7.4Verified guest“The location was brilliant, right in the centre and close to tram stops, the metro, and bus stops, with tram stops about 700 metres away. I really enjoyed the triple room – the bed was big, and there was a safe box, a sofa bed, and central heating.”

7.4Verified guest“I had a lovely stay at the Rooftop Oscar Rooms in the city centre. The room was quiet, clean, and warm, with no signs of any issues like cockroaches or dirty blankets. The elevator, though a bit scary and slow, was a nice surprise as most places don't have one. The location was perfect, with restaurants and tourist attractions nearby. The staff were friendly, and communication was great. The studio had a spacious bathroom and an amazing balcony with a great view of the city.”
