This hotel is cool- the walls are carpetted and each room has it's own subtle/fun animal theme that matches the wall carpet outside the room, inside the room, and on the room key. The rooms were clean and the breakfast was good. The hotel also has a pretty view and a nice staff. It is possible to walk to town from the hotel (about 25 minutes), although the path is interesting. It's also easy and inexpensive to take a cab to town.

It was listed as a 4 STAR HOTEL, but the room we were given was 2 star with a bathroom that had 10 square ft area, that had the sink, a toilet and a shower-head in it...we asked for another room but were told that because of a wedding there are no rooms available. So we paid for a 4 star room and slept in a 2 star one, with spiders in the room.

Placé dans un endroit très nature, à 3 km de la ville de Veliko Tarnovo. Restaurant proposant de bon produits et petit déjeuner très agréable qui répond aux attentes. Toutefois la douche se trouve dans un espace très restreint dans les WC.

Das Hotel liegt an einer Zubringerstraße zur Stadt, dafür ist es jedoch verhältnismäßig ruhig und man kann gut schlafen. Das Hotel liegt etwas außerhalb, die Altstadt sowie die Burg sind zu Fuß in 30-40 Minuten schnell zu erreichen. Der Weg durch den Sveta-Park ist auch angenehm. Mit dem Auto sollte man nicht in die Stadt fahren, da die Parkmöglichkeiten begrenzt sind. Das Personal im Hotel war sehr freundlich. Die Aussicht auf die Stadt ist sehr schön, leider nur ist die Burg nicht zu sehen von der Terrasse aus. Einzig das Frühstück fand ich nicht gut.

Un hôtel beau et moderne sans chaleur humaine

L’hôtel se trouve loin du coeur de Veliko Tarnovo il faut impérativement une voiture et comme nous venions en voiture ce n’était pas un problème. L’hôtel est au calme et dispose d’un parking gratuit. La zone ou se trouve l’hôtel bien que partiellement en travaux est agréable car il y a de jolies espaces vert. L’accueil était honnêtement médiocre. Aucune chaleur humaine, mais rien de dramatique, juste que l’on préfère un peu de sourire qu’un check in où on a l’impression de gêner. La chambre est confortable, moderne et bien décoré La vue est magnifique Il y a du café et de l’eau minérale dans la chambre, seul ombre au tableau, la salle d’eau où le wc sont dans la douche Petit déjeuner à choisir parmi 4 formules avec de bon ingrédients et la possibilité de le prendre dans une salle ou sur une terrasse avec une très belle vue panoramique.

Property did not live up to expectations from other reviews. It was average. Quite worn in places and very basic facilities in the room. Our balcony had railings missing making it extremely dangerous for our 6 year old daughter outside due to the risk of falling. The chipboard units were worn and the whole unit was dated and overpriced. Parking was a nightmare as the parking lot was full so we parked roadside away from the property. There was a live act singing into the early hours thundering through the corridors making it difficult for our children to sleep. I would say the property is average at best, overpriced and I will not be returning. On a positive note the staff were great

Hôtel situé à plusieurs km du centre ville, nécessaire d'avoir une voiture. Un grand parking est disponible à l'hôtel. Nous avons eu la désagréable surprise d'avoir les douches dans les toilettes, je ne savais pas que ça se faisait encore!! Etat de propreté moyen! Petit déjeuner correct.

O quarto está bem decorado e confortável, todavia a limpeza pode ser melhorada. Existiam várias teias de aranha espalhadas pelo quarto e casa de banho. O mais estranho e desconfortável foi a casa de banho ser minúscula sem cabine de duche. Tomávamos banho literalmente em cima do lavatório e da sanita, deixando tudo molhado.

El alojamiento está en medio del bosque, al lado de una autovía que conecta con el centro de la ciudad en 5 minutos de coch. El hotel está muy bien, las instalaciones cuidadas y el personal es muy amable. La habitación doble económica era muy amplia y silenciosa y la cama bastante cómoda. En el baño no había plato de ducha como tal, era el suelo del propio baño como ya hemos visto en otros baños en Bulgaria, pero estaba muy limpio.
