Gents,
I'm leaving Sofia tomorrow, and should like to share a couple of experiences. On arrival at the Kempinski Hotel (where I stayed), a little guide was provided (restaurants, pubs, cultural activities, etc.) called "City Sofia". There is also a section listing "Erotic Bars" and "Escort Services". I tried one of each. The first one was "Bohemy" (
www.kontesa.net; the web site is in English and Bulgarian, and is actually 2 different places.) The cost was 50 leva per hour (about US $35), and wasn't worth a cent of it. I chose Simone (can't see her face on the web site). She has a decent figure, but boobs like deflated balloons and ugly as a barrel of arseholes. Kissing is not allowed, nor did she want to be touched. After a perfunctory CBJ, I just wanted to bust a nut and be shot of her. So, I paid for an hour but only had her 45 minutes. It was more than long enough.
The next night I went to the Velvet bar (5 leva entrance fee, located at 12 -14 Slaveikov St.), but none of them really appealed to me, so I finished my drink and left.
Last night I went with a mate of mine to Kama Sutra (19 Dondukov Blvd.). Again, there's a 5 leva entrance fee. I found the girls to be better looking than at the Velvet Bar, so I told the manager which one I liked, paid the manager 100 leva for an hour, got in a taxi and went back to the hotel. The Kempinski Hotel adds a surcharge of 20 euros to your bill if you bring a girl back to your room, plus you have to sign a waiver and assume all responsibility if she takes the hotel apart.
Anyway, although this girl was better looking by far than the first one, the service was just as bad.
If you're into Slavic women (I am), this is not the place to go. Very few of the pros I saw are Slavs; the majority are Gypsies. I suppose if one is willing to pay 400 or more euros per hour, one can get a high-quality woman; I'm not willing to pay that, so I got stuck with the dregs. This is not a place I'd come to if I was looking just to monger. I've been told Romania is better. I'll be there next month.
I almost forgot; avoid the Playboy Club in the Kempinski Hotel. When you go in, you're set between 2 (very attractive) women. To have them sit with you, you have to buy them a drink. They start by offering the most expensive, which is almost 2,000 leva (US $1,300) for a 3-litre bottle of champagne. The cheapest drink is 99 leva. I paid 32 leva for a drink and the 10 leva entrance fee, then got the hell out. I didn't try any of the other hotels, but I'd bet it's the same.
Happy Hunting!
