Reviews
Our maisonette was warm and cosy. It was lovely having the two balconies with views of the mountain.
The staff were friendly and helpful and we enjoyed our stay.
The only niggle was the pillows! Very lumpy and uncomfortable!
I was a little bit disappointed that the hotel did not offer a personal touch to congratulate my husband on his 60th birthday. I had explained that that was the reason for our holiday and hoped they would do something a bit special, such as leaving a bottle of wine or a cake in the room, or even a birthday card, but nothing. Bit sad...
Great location(supermarkets and Bulgaria highest peak mountain isn’t far)
Staff were friendly and helpful ,gave suggestions on what we could do in the hotel and outside the hotel when asked. We were told that we couldn’t use the pool but the gym .
FYI: Breakfast isn’t buffet,you will be given a menu and you choose 1 option per person. Drinks:water,juices,coffee are out-you can take as much as you want but if you want fresh juices,you pay extra
