This hotel is in an ideal location when visiting the Rila Monastery if you are driving. We stayed there for a night after visiting the Monastery. It was very scenic, relaxing, and comfortable. The check-in and staff at dinner were very good and the food at the restaurant was very tasty including fresh trout from their trout farm along a stream behind the hotel. The room was comfortable and the breakfast (not included in the room price) was good with ample choice and generous portions including local Bulgarian traditional food. The place was quiet when we were there for one night but in the morning they were preparing for a tour group who were coming for lunch. We left before they came
The wifi in the rooms were flaky
7.0 / 10.0Good·Aug 2025
We were quite nervous about coming here due to the previous reviews, but we were actually pleasantly surprised.
We had booked the junior suite and got everything we had asked for: the room had air conditioning, a baby cot was ready, and the mini fridge we requested the day before was already in the room when we arrived. So overall, we had everything we needed.
The welcome at reception wasn’t particularly warm, but it was fine. honestly, we were expecting worse.
The room was spacious, clean.. Also, unlike what we had read, they did accept card payments without any issue — even just for coffees in the morning. The hotel is just a short drive from the monastery, which is really convenient.
In short, we stayed for two nights and it was okay. Not our favorite hotel of the trip, but it did the job.
the restaurant was a real letdown. It had no atmosphere at all, and the food wasn’t good.
We’ve been eating in different places every night during our stay in Bulgaria, and this one was the most disappointing. Breakfast wasn’t great either. There’s an excellent restaurant not far from the monastery that we ended up going to — we highly recommend that instead.
The hotel itself has potential, but it doesn’t seem well maintained, and it seems that staff couldn't care less.
The children’s playground is a good idea, but it’s right next to an area that smells like sewage, and the outdoor space in general felt a bit messy and neglected.
Bed wasn't too comfy...
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jun 2025
We have stayed at this hotel several times, so we thought we knew what to expect. However, since the last time that we were there they have upgraded with free WiFi, the ability to take Credit Cards and also some upgrades to the rooms. We stayed in rooms 101 and 102. The food in the restaurant is typical for a Bulgarian village and I always enjoy their Shopska Salad. Although the staff is limited in their ability to speak English, the signs and menus in the hotel are all translated into English (sometimes not very well translated). If you are going to visit the Monastery, this hotel is very close by. The "white noise" from the mountain river can be a great help to a good nights' sleep.
In room 101 the curtains are not wide enough to completely cover the windows.

the staff is not welcoming at all, they look like they want to slap you in the face whether at the restaurant or the reception
Rooms are just ok, the hotel has no charm
