I liked that it was close to the gondola and the rooms were big and airy with plenty of hot water. I thought it was good value. I liked some of the staff, especially one of the waitresses with long brown curly hair and the barman and Ibrahim on reception,. Some of the others were deliberately rude and unhelpful. There seemed to be no manager, or no effective manager. Who lets staff smoke in the kitchen? Why does the bar not open earlier to serve proper coffee when the coffee at breakfast is instant? Why was all the food so over cooked? Why does no one seem to take pride in the hotel and in being Bulgarian?

From the moment we checked in the staff were most unhelpful and cold. The Bellboy stood at our door basically waiting for a tip to be handed over which i find quite rude even when i do tip quite often but only on my terms. The food is shockingly poor with not even water or coffee being available in the evening when on a half-board basis. The food was so poor we decided to eat our for two of the nights for a break from the terrible slop. The breakfast is also terrible and very limited although they did provide tea & coffee in the morning. The location is good for the centre of town with everything within walking distance to the gondola etc. The queues for the Gondola in the morning are ridiculous as well as the free shuttle bus to the top of the Gondola therefore we paid for a taxi to take us to the top each morning otherwise you would be queuing for no less than 1.5-2hrs each day to just get to the top of the mountain. I will not be returning any time soon.

Good hotel, friendly and helpful staff. Good location, great facilities and I had read the food was an issue but my party of 12 adults had no issue and found some of it very tasty.

Lovely hotel with great service - beds were utterly terrible though, would have been more comfortable sleeping on the floor

We had a fantastic stay with our two young children aged 3 and 5. They loved the pool!
