Fijn verblijf in net hotel met prachtige view
Pros:

Prachtig uitzicht vanaf het balkon en parking voor de deur

Cons:

Qua eten was de keus wat beperkt maar wellicht ook omdat het rustig was en de vaste kok in het ziekenhuis lag

Un anfitrión encantador
Pros:

Es un hotel familiar muy bien acondicionado. La ubicación es muy cómoda para visitar el monasterio de Rila y su terraza es muy agradable. Pero sin ninguna duda, lo mejor es la amabilidad y alegría de David, que nos preparó una estupenda comida a pesar de ser las 14:30 y la pudimos disfrutar en la terraza junto con Morat. Muchas gracias, David ( encima su español es extraordinario)

Se arrivate il primo pomeriggio per visitare il monastero di Rila la posizione è comoda e tranquilla.

Poco accogliente il personale e ....il burro scaduto da un anno.
Abbiamo chiesto la sostituzione e ne è arrivato un altro scaduto da un anno.

Op doorreis in Bulgarije in keurig hotel
Pros:

Keurig en zeer schoon hotel, ruime kamer met balkon en mooi uitzicht op de bergen. Goede airconditioning. Mooi overdekt terras beneden en prima parkeerplaats voor de auto.
De jongeman die ons ontving was zeer vriendelijk maar hij moest alles alleen doen.

Cons:

Veel van wat op het menu stond kon niet worden geserveerd omdat de jongeman alles alleen moest doen. Daardoor duurde het 1,5 uur vanaf aanschuiven bij het ontbijt tot het in ontvangst nemen van wisselgeld. Want alles moest contant worden betaald (op zich geen probleem).
Het eten was wel van goede kwaliteit maar het was teleurstellend dat lang niet alle gerechten beschikbaar waren, de veel te trage service. Ik moet hier bij zeggen dat de jongeman zijn best deed maar het duurde allemaal erg lang.
