Great location. Okay rooms.
Pros:

Excellent location 500m from fort. Free Parking available which is rare in VT. Modern hotel. Nice breakfast with variety better at weekends. It has a little pool and jet pool but get crowded. We lucked out in rooms and got the one under the stairs! Other rooms looked okay.

Cons:

Our room was dark stuffy and noisy due to small roof windows, bathroom window opened on lane so noisy. Reception only at check in and out.

Pros:

Чудесно място! Изключително чисто, просторна стая, локацията не може да е по-добра - на 2 минути пеша от Царевец; същевременно е тихо.
Харесах и СПА-частта и закуската. Благодаря!

Cons:

Единствена препоръка: бих се радвала да има повече закачалки, където да съхнат халати и хавлиени кърпи, бански

For a short stay is good
Pros:

The location is close to the main attractions. It was warm and the bed is really comfortable.

Cons:

There was a bad smell in the room, breakfast is not for a 4* hotel. We were told that if we give a 10 review we will get free wifi and free acces to the spa. I don't think this is how you should run a business.

A very enjoyable two night stay.
Pros:

A nice room and parking available, although limited and not possible to reserve. Easy walking distance of all main attractions - the fort was very close. Reception was good and helpful. Breakfast had a nice selection and we enjoyed it. A nice family run hotel. All in all a nice place to stay.

Cons:

Nothing really - just a few points. It was difficult to find initially but people were helpful giving directions. Some of the spa facilities were being repaired and the pool was quite small.
