Multiple guests mention spotlessly clean rooms and spa; a few minor notes (strong cleaning smell in one room, slippery bathroom floor) but overall cleanliness is a clear strength.
Service
8.7
Staff and manager repeatedly described as friendly and helpful (assisting with taxis, polite reception); a few operational hiccups (took three attempts to enter a room, early checkout disturbance) but service is generally positive.
Location
9.6
Consistently praised for a prime location near Tsarevets/fortress and close to tourist streets; considered a major advantage.

8.6

Amenities
9
Spa, indoor pool, sauna/hammam and rooftop chill area repeatedly highlighted and appreciated; parking options (including underground) also mentioned positively.
Value for Money
7.4
Mixed sentiment on price — some guests feel the hotel is overpriced for what it offers (one reviewer explicitly scored it lower), so value perception is weaker than other categories.

Overall Experience
8.2

Pros:

Чисто та комфортно. Є спа. Сауна та два басейни з підігрівом. Один невеликий в якому є гідромасаж. Люди дуже привітні. Навіть пішли на зустріч та продлили роботу спа на одну годину. Рекомендую цей готель.

I feel like I ve been scammed by booking, when you hope to pick a super nice hotel as it s in the pictures but when you
Pros:

Location only.

Cons:

It s a 4 star hotel but the breakfast and specially the hygiene in the room wasn’t good, also we had problems with a specific dirty carpet smell, the towels had stains on them and one black hair, the bath sink and the toilet got blocked, same as the reception toilet in one of the days where I ve been ,,lucky “ to find it dirty. I didn’t had a good experience and I will not recommend it specifically for a 4 star hotel.
