Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was delightful overall. The rooms were comfortable and nicely decorated, although I had a slight issue with the terrace view at certain times. The service, while slightly incompetent during check-in, was redeemed by the kind and helpful staff, especially the ladies at the reception. The location was perfect for exploring the town and nearby attractions. The dining experience provided a variety of abundant and traditional Bulgarian dishes. The facilities were well-maintained and satisfactory, making my stay enjoyable.
My stay at the hotel was simply fantastic! The rooms were spotless and just what we needed for our trip. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful with everything, especially when it came to checking bus schedules and getting info on tourist attractions. The location was truly wonderful, being near the Rila monastery, which is a must-visit. However, the dining experience left much to be desired with poorly prepared meals. Nevertheless, the facilities, including the indoor pool, jacuzzi, and sauna, were top-notch.
The hotel's room for a family of four was a bit small and had a lingering smoke smell that dissipated when we opened the window, revealing a terrace with a nice view. However, the room setup with a wardrobe that did not fit properly was a drawback.
The hotel's location near the Rila Monastery is just amazing, making it perfect for travelers wanting to explore this iconic site. The rooms are clean and well-furnished, though there was a slight old smell that disappeared quickly when we opened the window. The service was a mix; while the staff were really friendly and helpful, there were some instances of incompetence, like a delayed check-in process. Dining offered an abundant continental buffet with decent choices. Unfortunately, the food preparation and presentation didn't meet our expectations. The facilities were decent but could be improved.

Upon arrival, the room wasn't ready, but once settled, I found it really nice and clean, with a great bathroom and comfy bed. The staff was very supportive and provided excellent service. The location, though a bit chaotic, is dead center in the town, perfect for exploring nearby attractions. The dining experience could be more extensive, but it's starting early at 8 a.m.
The hotel had its ups and downs. The room was a bit disappointing with stained bedding and intermittent hot water, but the mattress provided a good night's sleep. The service, especially from the reception staff, was friendly and helpful. The location was central but could use some updates. The dining experience offered tasty and diverse options. Overall, a mixed bag but with some positives to balance it out.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and bad experiences. The rooms were small for a family of 4 and the bedding was stained, but the pool and saunas were beautiful. The hot water in the bathroom was tricky to use, only available at certain times. Although there was a faint smell of smoke, it dissipated quickly when we opened the window, thankfully.
