Perfect location for visiting the world heritage Rila monastery
Pros:

The location is excellent - in Rila village and 20 km from the monastery. The hotel itself is nice and rustic, with outdoor space under the grapevines for relaxing or for meals. Rooms are very good, with balcony with a view. The guy who runs the hotel for his grandparents, David, is very friendly and helpful. Hotel parking right in front of the hotel.

Cons:

A minor issue is that the rooms don’t have an electric kettle nor a fridge.

Sympathique, attention cash only
Pros:

Fluidité du checkin et des explications, belle vue depuis le balcon de la chambre, la terrasse commune est agréable.

Cons:

Pas de mini frigo dans les chambres, dommage. Le restaurant n'était également pas ouvert quand j'y étais, et au petit déjeuner je voulais des pancakes mais n'en faisait pas. Paiement cash only également.

Nuit agréable
Pros:

L’accueil a été très bon ainsi que l’installation dans notre chambre avec une très belle vue sur les montagnes.
L’emplacement est plutôt bon, à 30 min environ du monastère de Rila. La restauration du soir nous a ravi avec un plat typique excellent.
La place de parking devant l’hôtel est un +.

Cons:

Il manquait pas mal de choses proposées sur la carte pour le petit déjeuner.
