The food was good The only negative is that the bartender was a little rude to my husband and the driver in the morning to take us to the airport never showed up. So someone else had to take us which was just fine.

We are Americans visiting Bulgaria for purposes of an international adoption. We’ve actually stayed at this property multiple times because of the hospitality. I highly suggest this hotel, its classic Bulgarian style is unmatched and staff is super friendly.
