Pros:

Перфектно за работно пътуване, с всички необходими за целта удобства.

Cons:

В стаята миришеше силно на цигари. От персонала се извиниха, имало гости преди нас, които пушили в стаята и климатика беше поел много от "аромата". Чак на втория ден започна да отслабва миризмата... Много неприятно.

Pros:

В номере чисто, достаточно места, много окон.

Cons:

Мы (я, муж и двухлетний сын) забронировали номер с тремя односпальными кроватями и оплатили его. То есть цена была указана за номер, а не за количество людей, как в других номерах этого отеля.
По приезду невежливый работник рецепции начал требовать доплатить за малыша 20 евро. Причём это было дороже, чем вышло за взрослого. Когда мы начали возмущаться, он связался с администрацией и те сказали доплатить 10 евро. За двухлетнего ребёнка! Не смотря на то, что мы предварительно оплатили номер на 100%.
В отеле один бойлер на все номера и мы не смогли принять душ, так как не хватило горячей воды.

Pros:

Tesis çok temizdi ve konforluydu. Ücretsiz park imkanıda vardı. Ayrıca tuna nehri kıyısında oluşu manzara açısından değerlendirilir.

Exceptional
Pros:

The room was spacious and clean, and all the facilities were in place. The toilet and shower were separate. WiFi and air conditioning worked well. It was the most comfortable hotel I've stayed in since coming to Bulgaria. The only drawbacks were that you had to climb a steep hill to get to the shops, and the hotel was sometimes shaken by large trucks that passed by. It wasn't a big deal.
