Buona struttura per una sosta prima (o dopo) il monastero di Rila.
Pros:

Buona accoglienza, camera e letto comodi, condizionatore in camera (utile anche con la stagione fredda). Parcheggio di fronte la struttura (molto utile).

Cons:

Nulla di imputabile alla struttura. Rila a metà ottobre è un paese quasi deserto, per via della bassa stagione, e si fatica a trovare anche da cenare.

Enkel oudere zeer vriendelijke dame met looprek aanwezig, enkel Bulgaars sprekend.

Perfect for my night in Rila.
Pros:

Very well maintained and clean with wonderful staff who took pride in their accomodation. A great choice to stay in Rila.

Cons:

No fridge in the room or access to one. I was in a single room so bigger rooms may have one.

Very comfortable stay
Pros:

We had a very relaxed stay in this lovely family run hotel, our room with a dedicated space for luggage was comfortable. It had air conditioning, good wifi, 2 beds, wardrobe, TV, desk and chairs and a good bathroom with a great shower. Outside the balcony with furniture was a nice place to enjoy an afternoon drink and the view over the small town. There is a shared fridge available and lovely shared outdoor space in the garden. We ate a lovely traditional meal in the in house restaurant. Our host was fantastic from start to finish very friendly and accommodating. Dedicated parking spaces.
Stopping here in this small town gave us the opportunity to relax in the local community and if required revisit the Monastery. This is a cash only hotel and a cash only town.
