Home from home in the Balkans
Pros:

Hotel has charm, Luzana is an "amor" and it feels totally home from home. Views are stunning and the breakfast is quality and abundant. Good coffee and no problem to order another. Parking - in their garage - convenient and safe.

Cons:

For us, little, but maybe those with mobility problems would have problems with the stairs.

Najlepszy hotel podczas 3 tygodniowej podróży po Bułgarii
Pros:

Przemiła właścicielka i personel. Hotel tonie w kwiatach, jest pięknie usytuowany, z hotelowych okien wspaniały widok na miasto i rzekę. Super śniadania wliczone w cenę. Menu w hotelowej restauracji na najwyższym poziomie- warto zarezerwować stolik na kolację.

Magníficas vistas a un paso del centro histórico.
Pros:

La situación y las vistas.
Desayuno espectacular.
Trato de las dueñas y todo el personal muy agradable.
Habitación amplia y cama cómoda (excepto el detalle del pie de cama).

Cons:

La cama era algo corta y como tiene pie de cama, sin ser yo muy alto los pies me tocaban en el, por lo que para alguien alto puede ser incómodo.

Stayed here many times, we'll be back again
Pros:

View is excellent. Breakfast is very good but too much :) Maybe a buffet breakfast would be better.

Cons:

Limited parking places inside. You can park near the hotel but street is very narrow.

Goed gelegen, mooi hotel maar onprofessionele uitbating
Pros:

De omgeving, het ontbijt, de bediening in het restaurant.

Cons:

3 dagen ruime suite (op basis van foto's) geboekt voor 3 volwassenen. In 35 jaar (wereld)reizen nog nooit zo onrespectvol behandeld. Aankomst 's avonds met wagen (was gecommuniceerd). Geen receptionist, ober van restaurant aangesproken, wist van onze komst. Met lakse, trage houding nam hij eerst een bestelling op a/e tafel. Intussen stonden wij naast de wagen in erg nauwe straat te wachten. De plaats in hun ruime garage (waar we stonden) kregen we niet, maar werden verplicht te manoeuvreren naar de kleine garage waar nauwelijks in te rijden viel door geparkeerde wagens. Schade aan onze wagen. De ober/receptionist (blijkbaar alles) deed alsof het onze schuld was. Tijdens ons verblijf, nooit ingecheckt geworden of enige info gekregen. De geboekte suite nooit gezien. De 3de persoon sliep in een slecht sofabed zonder ruimte of faciliteiten voor bagage, te kleine, wegschuivende lakens op de bedden. Badkamerdeur nauwelijks te sluiten + langdurig flikkerend licht. Zelfde receptionist aangesproken: geen resultaat. Vragen naar warme dekens na een koude nacht: leverde lakens op + opmerking dat er verwarming is. Pas na verder aandringen, dekens gekregen met opmerking dat we het hadden moeten zeggen (?!) . Per toeval uitbaatster ontmoet. Deed niets met onze klachten, gedroeg zich alsof ze ons niet verstond. Pas na 2 dagen kwam ze bij ons ontbijt op een onbeleefde manier zeggen dat we van kamer konden wisselen (de meeste gasten waren na het WE uitgecheckt). Door haar houding en dit pas de laatste nacht werd voorgesteld, hebben we dit geweigerd. De kamer, de receptionist en de eigenares was voor ons 3 een slechte ervaring. Spijtig voor dit mooie hotel. Onprofessionele uitbating door ober/receptionist en eigenares die je het gevoel geven dat jij de moeilijk gast bent. We hebben nooit de kamer gekregen die we, op basis van de foto's, geboekt hadden. Wij willen een restitutie.

מקום נחמד מאוד. מומלץ
Pros:

ארוחת בוקר מצוינת. מיקום מעולה.

Cons:

ניתן לטפל ולשפר את המתקנים (סגירת מקלחון לדוגמה) ואז הכל היה מושלם.

Lovely Stay, Recommended!
Pros:

Lovely stay. Excellent location on historic cobblestone Gurko Street walking distance to everything. Definitely recommend and would stay here again.

Room 15 - king size bed, 2 nightstands, large wardrobe, mini frig, TV, small table with 2 chairs. Balcony had 2 chairs and small table also. Bathroom: there’s one room with a toilet and sink in it. The other room had the shower and another sink in it. AC worked great. Water pressure was good, plenty of hot water. The balcony overlooking the river and the hillside. I could not get over the view it’s something truly special.

I was surprised they had an elevator inside this hotel. Really great for those who have trouble with stairs.

Breakfast is served in the restaurant.
Huge amount of food for breakfast. eggs, fruit, bacon, cheeses, yogurt, croissants, bread, juice, coffee. It’s not a buffet either they bring you all these.

Restaurant next door that’s part of the hotel is excellent too. In the evening the outdoor seating is especially nice as the sun goes down. I ate dinner here twice kebabs were good but the pork ribs were life changing sooo good.

Parking: let them know ahead of time if you need to park. They have several spots in their garage and a few on the street.

Really wanted to like this hotel more than I did
Pros:

Very charming, centrally located and affordable hotel. The front desk clerk was also the waiter and the porter. Unfortunately, our room was on the 5th floor of a walk up with a winding staircase and no elevator. The bathtub was high and difficult to get into and there was no shower curtain. The room was small and there was no full-length mirror. These obstacles made me never want to return, sadly. The view, however, was beautiful. The breakfast was enormous and would have been better as a buffet. I am waste/waist conscious and the amount of food left over was disturbing and nothing I could take with me for the day.

Old world charm, a cosy fire and a great view!
Pros:

This is a wonderfully atmospheric hotel in the heart of the old town of Veliko Tarnovo. It has a cosy fire in the restaurant / breakfast room below (in March), spacious rooms and great views across the old town, down into the river valley and across to the Asen Monument. Staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast was generous. Thoroughly recommended.
