everything at a good standard and very reasonably priced. i will be back.

I liked the breakfast, the location, the swimming pool and the spa.

Noisy room, beds are not comfortable.

I liked the layout of the hotel and its location within Samokov, close to the center and still a bit further out to allow for a nice walk along the Iskar. The room was OK, with a very nice view of the Rila mountain and the surrounding plains.

The SPA closed rather early (about 8PM). The swimming pool had a bit colder temperature than would be comfortable for spending an extended period of time. In the morning we got to the restaurant 10 minutes before the end of breakfast hours, but the staff had already started packing so they did not leave us with much choice and hurried us up a bit.

I expected a buffet breakfast, but due to so few people staying there it was a set menu breakfast with a choice of certain breakfasts available. However on Friday quite a few people arrived and it did change to a buffet for the weekend. The staff were ultra helpful, and when they could not find a map of the town or area after scouring their reception and offices they produced a marvellous map all in English for us next morning when we went for breakfast! We loved the huge apartment with three balconies they upgraded us to when we requested a bath and not a shower. We also thoroughly enjoyed free access to their huge Olympic size indoor swimming pool and their sauna area. The views from our apartment and balconies were marvellous of the town and the mountains in the distance with snow on their peaks as well as all along the river. The apartment was beautifully warm. The restaurant was open all day and the food was good. There is plenty of parking available between the hotel and the river, and it is all paved. There was instant very hot water from the taps, and the heating via their central airconditioning was excellent. The cleaning staff attended to the room every day of the week we were there. The provision of dressing gowns and pool towels was much appreciated. As the hotel is right in the centre of town next to Billa, Lidl, T-Market and other shops, it is very easy to get to them all and to the market and other parts of the town by just walking there. There was ample wardrobe space as well as shelving and cupboards. The apartment had two toilets, one off the entrance hall and the other in the main bathroom that had a lovely deep bath.

The beds felt a bit lumpy as the springs tended to poke up in places, but that did not stop us from sleeping extremely well. The entrance to the hotel is at what one would consider to be the back of the hotel facing the river, and there is no adequate signage to indicate how to get to it when driving. My navigation device took me onto a cycle track that crosses the river on a narrow pedestrian and bicycle only bridge on the far side of the hotel! The actual road access is down the side of the T-Market building past their parking area, on past the multi sports arena building parking area, to the wall alongside the river where you make a sharp left turn that then takes you to the front of the hotel and the hotel parking alongside the river.

Location, facilities, rooms, cleanliness

the food at the restaurant was not so good and was a little pricey for the quality

The location is perfect, right next to the new city centre park and the three big hypermarkets, not 10 minutes to the bus station and central marketplace. The view to the mountains was exceptional, rooms were clean, wasn't crowded. Will visit again if I need a stay in Samokov

Had to have swimming hats for the pool The pool had some weird spots near the vents, but it was clean.

Nice place, good value for money. I would recommend.

Everything was great ! Staff was very nice and halpful! Food in the restaurant was more than delicious, we expected less and were very nice supprised! I recommend the place!
