The property had great character. It’s a very old building and therefore access would be difficult if you’re unsteady on your feet. Taxis won’t drive down to the front of the guest house so we had to pull our suitcases up the cobbled hill to the Main Street. Staff were excellent. Great communication and helped us book a taxi and staff called us to check it had arrived and we were ok. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were clean. There were free hot drinks and a kitchen if you would like to cook. Guest house is in a very good location near the museum and fortress. Suggested room for improvement - some of the plugs were coming off the wall. No plugs near the dressing table mirror.

The room was fine and overall the stay was pleasant. However, the parking situation was very misleading. We booked with “included parking,” only to find out upon arrival that this meant street parking, subject to availability. There were no spaces, so we had to drive around the neighborhood late at night searching for parking. Very frustrating, especially after a long journey. The parking policy should be made much clearer when booking.

This is a beautiful place to stay! It's a great location and a wonderful old building. The rooms are charming with all the thoughtful little touches you could want, and the views of the river are so nice. We also appreciated the smooth process of checking in after hours with friendly and helpful communication all throughout. I hope to come back for a longer visit one day.

Comfortable hotel in a converted revival house built into the side of the hill, so be ready for stairs. Only interacted with the staff via expedia messaging and whatsapp due to our late arrival, but they were very helpful. No breakfast offered, but you can bring your own food, a bit like a hostel. Room was clean with nice bathroom and good AC. Parking was easy enough on street. Walking distance to Tsaravets.

Cant really recommend. On the plus side: overall quite clean, excellent en suite bathroom, good linens, nice location in old town (but note that it is very hilly there and the Inn requires a lot of walking). On the minus side: AC was almost useless, outdoor space not nice, no breakfast if you book with Expedia, etc, Old building that makes a lot of noise when walking the premises. Had virtually no interactions with owners/ataff who simply where not around, and no one answered the phone (“Call anytime”) when I called with a question about arrival. There are a lot if options in Tarnovo, and some research should yield nicer options.

Staff was very helpful and accommodating! Rooms are a good size and beds actually nice and comfortable. Floors a bit dirty but this has to do more with the age of the building and some stone floors. Building has some interesting history too!

Very friendly owner. Good facilities. There is a railway below the property but it did not bother us. Ask about massages when booking. Were told there is a guest kitchen but we did not use it. Parking was easy which is a huge bonus in this medieval town.

First visit.

This guest house is in an excellent location to get around Veliko Tarnovo The room/ bed was very comfortable. A little confusion checking in due to my traveling but once I figured it out easy. 2 spots in front to park but enough room across the narrow street. Mgmt/staff very friendly and helpful but not there all the time. I liked the garden area in the rear. I was able to listen to music from the plaza across the ravine while sipping on my rakia and snacking with white cheese. I will definitely try to book here again on my next visit to Tarnovo.

Oh man, this place is REALLY outdated. I understand keeping things original for that old-world charm but this took it too far. The floors were very uneven with boards sticking up. The beds were very creaky with very thin mattresses. The bathroom sink was laughably small and the bathroom was a small square with the shower being in the middle of the bathroom so it gets everything else in the bathroom wet. I would not recommend.

Highly Recommend!

Overall, it was a great stay! I was very impressed with the Inn itself, and with the way everything was restored. The room was very clean. Special mention to Kata at the front desk! I actually thought she was the owner with the amount of care and pride she took in welcoming me, serving me, and providing excellent advice and recommendations. My only complaint is that the bed was not too comfortable, but this seems to be a problem throughout most of Europe. The location is excellent being close to the Tsarevets and Trapezitsa fortresses, the Asenevtsi monument and also being right in the middle of the old town and close to the new town. Amazing price! Hands-down, the best value in Veliko Tarnovo!

Great hotel but beware noise from communal kitchen

We stayed for two nights, the hotel room was great and the after hours (6pm) check in was straightforward. Sadly there was a large group of guests in the communal kitchen partying until after 1pm. We were unable to sleep and made three separate requests asking for them to be quiet. The second night (Sunday) was much quieter. I would recommend that the hotel closes the communal kitchen after 10pm to ensure guests receive a proper night's sleep. What should have been a great experience was ruined - this small hotel has so much potential otherwise.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room smelled musty and damp. Even with the window open and thermostat set to 10°C, the unit only blew air — not cold. I got a sore throat from breathing in the stale air all night. Vending machine was expired or broken, no cleaning service, and the door kept jamming. Worst of all, on our final morning, we were woken up at 7 AM by other guests talking and laughing right outside our window. Zero peace or privacy. This is not a 3-star hotel. Avoid it.
