Best hotel staff!
Best hotel staff I have ever experienced! Modern hotel with high quality everything – furniture, lights, all. Very tasty breakfast. Location is bang in the middle of old town, between shopping and restaurants and the fortress. Will definitely come again.
Excellent hotel
This hotel is the place you need to stay at when you visit Veliko Tarnovo. It’s gorgeous, brand new, clean, modern and its location is perfect. The owner is very personable, welcoming and helpful. He prepared delicious breakfast for us and gave us recommendations on what to see, where to eat, etc. We loved everything about this hotel and our experience associated with it!
Highly recommended
Excellent location, fantastic facilities in a recently renovated traditional house. The owner/manager is knowledgeable and extremely helpful and can assist with virtually any request. Very good breakfast, great view and spacious, well-appointed rooms. We only stayed one night but the town and the property deserve a longer stay.

“And to tell you the truth, the whole of Bulgaria is so picturesque… Far ahead were other rocks, and on them perched the city – beautiful Tarnovo, every house in it bathed in color: covered with red baked tiles, walls painted in faded pinks and browns…
We stopped to enjoy the view – like Naples seen from the sea…”
