Hotéis em Samokov

Prós: The hotel is amazing, the staff are great and very friendly. Everywhere is spotlessly clean, there are personalized cards in the rooms that welcome you! We were there in December and everything was decorated for Christmas! It was so warm and cosy! The restaurant is also great, with an interesting twist in the menu, between classical Bulgarian dishes and some modern cuisine. The best part is the location though! It is wright next to one of the best ski slopes in Borovets. Would go there for sure again if we get a chance!

Prós: Location

Contras: Asked for glass of water but no option for that you can only pay for plastic bottles

Prós: breakfast , location, staff

Contras: i

Prós: Cosy and clean

Contras: Prices are high

Prós: The hotel's location is ideal for the slopes, since ski lifts are directly opposite. Rental of ski equipment and purchase of lift passes available from inside hotel which is great.

Contras: Rooms at the front of the hotel are very noisy at night due to vicinity of bars. Our room had a very bad smell of cigarette smoke and it took quite some convincing to get it changed, but they eventually changed it. Rooms look dated although bathroom is clean. Breakfast is good, however very poor selection for dinner.

Prós: Location, food, the room, the terrace lounge

Contras: Pool area and the water too cold, a bit expensive prices at the bar

Prós: Free Spa facilities & parking for guests

Contras: Gym didn’t open until 9am - what’s the point of that??

Contras: Service in the lobby. People are not polite and they are unprofessional Food (meet is not fresh. It is mostly marinated)

Prós: I enjoyed my stay in Rila. The food was good, pretty much the same every day, but you have more than enough options to choose from. Our room was great, beds were comfortable, and the SPA was wonderful.

Contras: The Festive Christmas dinner, which we paid in addition for, wasn't really special. Many dishes were the same as every day. The entertainment was okey.

Prós: Room, location, lobby etc

Contras: breakfast and dinner could be richer the rest was fantastic.

Prós: We've stayed previously at this guest house and found it to be excellent, and our stay on this occasion was no different. The room was spacious, clean & tidy, warm, and the bed was comfortable for a good night's sleep. There is an en-suite bathroom with a very good shower, and also a nice little balcony. The accommodation is only a short walk to the town centre. The host is friendly, welcoming and helpful. We can highly recommend 'Guesthouse Elizabeth' to other travellers in the Samokov region.

Prós: It was quiet and worm enough. In fact we were alone in the property that night. No meal plans are available there= The location is excellent - right in the center.

Contras: Nothing in particular that we disliked.... Well - the room was kinda small rather than spacious and the enkighting was a bit poor - it was kinda darl inside - but basically everything is just fine.

Prós: We stayed overnight at this guest house whilst passing through Samokov recently. It was very clean and tidy, the room was relatively spacious and well furnished, the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom/shower was excellent. There was also a small but nice balcony. Private off-street parking was available, and the location of the guest house was just two minutes walk from the central (shopping area) of the town. The wifi signal was strong and fast, and the tv had a wide selection of channels (many in English). The host was very friendly and helpful, and overall we found 'Guest House Elizabeth' to be exceptionally good-value. Highly recommended !

Prós: Location

Contras: Smell in the bathroom was terrible.

Prós: Very clean,well maintained. Although the host doesn't speak English we had no trouble to communicate (thanks to Google translate). Good location in the center of Samokov with restaurants and supermarkets in proximity

Contras: --

Prós: The chalet was lovely, warm and comfortable. Daily cleaners and towel change. Staff were generally very friendly and helpful. Problem with electrics and heating sorted quickly. fantastic location.

Contras: The breakfast was not a 4-star standard at all or what we've come to expect in other Borovets hotels. Very Limited choice, no fresh fruit unless requested every day, no yogurt unless requested every day. none of the lovely stewed fruits and range of Bulgarian food. Poor wifi in the chalet. On check out we were asked to pay for drinks we didn't have. When we said it was clearly a mistake we did not seem to be believed and were told ''hmmm maybe'' It was not a comfortable situation at all.

Prós: The staff were exceptionally kind. The location is perfect, right next to the lifts and slopes. Great atmosphere and attention to detail.

Contras: The parking lot is small.

Prós: Excellent location. Convenient parking.

Contras: We stayed at one of the chalets. Dated furniture. Some issues with the cleanliness of the place. Sauna must be paid extra. Floor 0 is dark and gloomy. Floor 1 is ok.

Prós: Perfect location at the heart of Borovets, between 2 main skilifts. Private parking, very nice architecture, interior design and quiet restaurant (delicious). Excellent breakfast menu. Very friendly staff, accommodated all our needs, incl. for date change - thanks!

Contras: Sauna is not included in the price. Took some time for the central heating to heat-up the room due to our early arrival.

Prós: Very friendly staff! We asked to check in at 2-3am in the morning and late check out and got answer in 10 min that we could do it for free. Very friendly attitude, advises. Very warm room with jacuzzi. In the hotel is also steam bath and infrared sauna. Quite simple and convenient breakfast. The hotel is 10 min by foot to the central square and as well 3-5 min there are 3 big supermarkets. Price wise this place also very good. Just 15 min from Borovets ski zone. Highly recommend!

Contras: there is no issues at all!

Prós: Great location - close to beautiful city parks, Billa and about 10 minutes to get to Borovets (by car). Rich breakfast, good water pressure and temperature in the bathroom. Very nice staff.

Contras: Too small and weak refrigerator. No bin in the room (we used supermarket bags). Not big enough parking inside (only for 6 cars, sometimes it was difficult to enter or exit).

Prós: Unique interior-didn't feel like a cliché hotel. Local information was displayed and also the saff were ready to assist.

Prós: Good location. Friendly staff

Contras: Ongoing construction at and around the property. Very loud and disturbing

Prós: Very comfortable and clean hotel. Good location.

Prós: The spa was quite good, and the staff running the spa area. Breakfast was quite tasty although limited.

Contras: Very noisy hotel, staff did not enforce rules. Lifts were slow and too few. Many of the staff were miserable. Rooms were not cleaned thoroughly.

Prós: This place is great, clean , great food

Contras: Have to take a shuttle bus to get to the ski slopes - not that bad 5 min ride

Prós: Breakfast pretty good, with lots of options. Location wise, pretty far from centre of Borovets where ski lift is, however the property offers a free shuttle, which is pretty handy up until 6pm.

Contras: Nothing in particular, property is pretty good value for money, studio room was pretty big and spacious.

Prós: Everything was great. You cand find anything you like: spa, good food, bar...

Contras: Maybe the bar is a bit small for all the people interested to go there by night.

Prós: We were bed and breakfast so mainly ate out for our evening meal. One night we stayed in the Bar food was excellent and good value for money. Drink prices were very competitive. Rooms were clean and staff were helpful and friendly.

Contras: Bed was a little uncomfortable Breakfast plates were always cold

Prós: Location was lovely, just out of town so nice and quiet nestled in the pine trees. Spa facilities are very good, although pool can become crowded at peak times but I'm sure this is the same everywhere. The food, although not 5star dining, was surprisingly good. Nice variety every morning and evening and everything tasted great. Always a nice selection if fresh fruit too. Shuttle was easy to get, sometimes you had to wait for the next one due to lots of people, but really not an issue. You could take the lovely 10min walk to /from town if needed. Beds lovely and comfy Hotel was always warm Massage is well worth it to help muscles mid ski break. Hotel staff all very helpful and polite. Arranged a transfer to the airport for us with no issues and replaced batteries in remote control in room when asked also with no fuss. Everywhere was nice and clean with rooms serviced every day.

Contras: Hairdryer was poor so best bring your own. WiFi not the best

Prós: Staff was friendly, polite and helpfull. Food was nice. The location was excellent, and we had a good time during our stay.

Prós: Location near the slopes

Contras: The bed, lining, pillows are not so comfortable

Prós: Very clean place, with perfect location and nice food.

Contras: When booking this property, have in mind that this is a complex of several buildings, one of them has restaurant, another one spa and another ski depot. It was a real disappointment for me when we arrived and find out that the spa was in the next building and that we have to carry the ski to the balcony of the room every day. Not the mention the noise of the neighbors coming from night ski carrying their ski, late in the evening. Also, there is kitchen in the room without proper equipment: there are only glasses, no pods, nor plates. But the food in the restaurant is really good with vegan options too.

Prós: Great location, good traditional food at the restaurant.

Prós: It was pretty good to be fair however. I'm not sure if I would stay there again.....

Contras: The bed was thin mattress. I couldn't sleep a wink the first night. However they sorted it the next day with another mattress on top plus the baby looking bed is what fits at the end of the bed to make it more comfortable otherwise if you are over 5ft 5 you feel will dange over the edge and you won't sleep

Prós: Location, food and room.

Contras: Everything was great.

Prós: Proximity to ski gondola

Contras: Furnitures to Old, need a renovation

Contras: hotel with old furniture. should be renovated. pretty poor breakfast

Prós: We decide to make a reservation in this Guest house just 1 hour before arriving. Everything was prepared, clean and nice. Nice room, very tasty restaurant just "next door". I recommend this accomodation ;-)

Prós: Location convenient, kitchen well equipped, Alex and his wife extremely helpful and welcoming!

Contras: Room not so well ventilated so if weather is hot it is a bit stuffy

Prós: Clean and very good value for the money

Prós: Above all a very helpful and friendly owner! The room was very clean and the common dining room well equipped. The owner prepares very tasty and large breakfasts. There is an excellent restaurant with a Bulgarian menu next to the Guest House. The Guest House is located in the city center, five minutes walk from the bus station.

Prós: Aleks was very helpful. He let me store excess luggage while hiking Rila. Its a bonus being able to make a cup of tea or coffee in the kitchen.

Prós: Friendly, homely, very welcoming. Great location, easy to walk to many local restaurants although full kitchen facilities available at property.

Prós: The spa and restaurant are nice Apartment is spacious and beds are comfortable. Very clean and neat. Recommend for a quiet vacation.

Contras: The fact that you have to walk outside to reach the spa is not ideal during winter

Prós: Lovely cosy hotel in the forest , room was great and quite spacious, hotel bar was lovely with an open fire, pool was a little small but perfect for a swim after a day spent skiing and the outdoor hot tub was a bonus! Hotel is a taxi ride out from Borovets but hotel provides a bus in the morning and back until 6pm but a taxi in the evening was only £5 but the hotel restaurant and bar are lovely for the evening or there is a local restaurant with in walking distance !! Really enjoyed our stay in the hotel and would definitely stay again!

Prós: Fireplace

Contras: Room service

Prós: The hotel rooms were very spacious, comfortable and warm. The breakfast was delicious with a big variety of foods. The location of the hotel is about 5 min drive by car to Hotel Rila. There is an underground parking which is big enough. The staff were very polite and helpful!

Contras: Nothing.

Prós: It is our 3rd time in this property, the reason we come is the spacious apartments, and the exterior of the complex, it’s architecture.

Contras: The place is running down, and obviously they are not doing much to maintain it properly. The food (choice) is poor, the restaurant is small and overcrowded, the bar looks poor, the rooms have not been maintained, the spa and the small indoor pool same not maintained, the place is running down. And yet the price is high, as always has been in the last 4 years.

Prós: The hotel provides a complimentary mini-bus to and from the centre of Borovets every half hour (less lunchtime) until 5.30pm which was very reliable. In the evenings, reception will call you a taxi for the 6 minute ride which cost around £4.50. Our room was very clean and had underfloor heating in the bathroom which was very cosy. We very much enjoyed our stay, which was good value. The pool and spa was well managed and we used it a couple of times, bath robes are provided, so pack a swimsuit. If you don't mind staying a couple of miles outside of the centre and using the minibus then you will save yourself a lot of money over more central hotel prices. If you want to hire ski equipment, the hotel can give you a voucher for a hire company that they say will get you a 10% discount.

Prós: Very clean and comfortable rooms! Food was all lovely and great! The people at the hotel was very flexible and helpful ☺️

Prós: The breakfast was good. I liked the relaxing area.

Contras: would be better to have more entertainment for older kids

Prós: Location, breakfast, staff

Contras: The darkness in kid's club and in the lobby bar; the pool; the lack of mini bar in the apartment; the smell from the pool in the lobby bar

Prós: Location is ideal — right by the ski lifts, and right by the action, but slightly tucked away from the main strip. It's kooky and different — feels a bit like a Wes Anderson movie.

Contras: The staff were utterly disinterested. No greetings, no good morning, no good evening, no how was your stay? They made us come down to collect an ironing board, they put on a poor breakfast, which wasn't ready on one day — they seemed annoyed we had arrived on time for breakfast before they were ready. They didn't let us keep rented ski equipment in their ski room as it wasn't hired from the hotel — but they didn't even tell us they had rental available. Made us walk back to our rental shop late at night in minus 19 conditions. They didn't stock the room properly, nor replenish water after day one. There was also a strange baby crib outside our room for the entirety of the trip.

Prós: - great location- right next to ski resort - great decor, the hotel is beautifully decorated with lovely furniture - friendly and helpful staff - lots of facilities, although most basic - well equipped and specious rooms - good breakfast

Contras: - the hotel only offered full board- not very flexible - dinner buffet was of a very poor standard in stark contrast to breakfast - poorly equipped gym - no marked parking spaces resulting in minor chaos due to inconsiderate drivers - dance music playing in reception/ lobby area WHY??

Prós: Location. Food. Kids club.

Contras: This hotel is not a five star hotel. The bathroom door was broken and we never managed to use the bathroom with the closed door. The Internet connection was not existing the last three days from our stay. Food was good but most of the time there was no free table to seat at breakfast or dinner and we wait. At the Bar in the lobby they had a menu with lot of deserts but only one was available for purchase. The children animation club is very good and the animator Zechko was very professional. There is a small swimming pool but the water is cold. Generally this hotel is no more than 3 star hotel. The biggest disappointment was to see the cleaner washing up the bathroom with bear hands and then washing the coffee glasses with the same hands. No gloves.

Contras: The staff was totally incompetent of the menu in the restaurant. I ordered few things they said they have it then they came and replied even though they have it they can’t serve it. Also, the towels in the room we’re not changed after we left the first day ?! Is this even acceptable for a three star not to mention 5 star which this hotel claims to be. Let me start with the biggest disappointment- the spa area. The water in the pool was extremely cold and of course there was no body in it. The only working properties from the spa were the Sauna and the steam bath. The steam bath was not warm and these was a huge paddle of water on the floor. The detached showers were not working. It smelled terrible. Also , there was only one showers working. Extremely awful service and conditions. Worst experience in a hotel.

Prós: Very good location, fair price, small hotel.

Contras: This is definitely not a 5* hotel. It is rather a 3* hotel. The personnel need to speak proper English, the waiters need to change their attribute and everybody needs to know what a 5* hotel means. Check in and check out was a disaster. I have to wait more than half hour for my payment receipt.

Prós: Not a lot.

Contras: Needs life.

Prós: Food was very delicious and staff were very friendly and polite. Room was very warm with nice furniture.

Contras: Internet (WiFi) was very weak.

Prós: The hotel is surrounded by nature. It seemed to me like it was partly renovated (but still very stylish). Our room was spacious and cozy. The general "aura", the winter garden and the building overall was great. It was very very well heated as well. Staff was very polite.

Contras: Some details might bother anyone here and there, but nothing serious. I didn't like the coffee at all-DOOM. The bar charged us for beverages coffee and water, without a receipt and the prices did not match the prices of the catalog. I think we paid a different amount each time for the same products and we felt we were only a wallet. The carpets were a little smelly because they were old(but not to a bothering degree). Finally i don't think it was value for money, when i consider the distance from the slopes.

Prós: The hotel is exactly what I was expecting. It is located a bit far from the center of Borovets, which is plus for me, because there was absolute silence around hotel and no crowds. Walk to the slopes / center takes about 10-15 minutes, which is nice. The staff is very friendly and helpful, manager provided us with free shuttle to the slopes, which was very helpful. Our room had fireplace, which we used daily (wood for the fireplace is provided by room service). The hotel itself is a bit old, but clean and everything looked so comfy.

Contras: The food choices for breakfast and dinner were poor. We had a chance to participate in the new year special dinner, which was ok, although we couldn't eat all the food which was served. Sauna and jacuzzi offered at extra cost. The toilets in the room were leaking constantly.

Prós: There is one young male host that is very kind

Contras: Old carpets. Smell. Shower in poor condition.Awful breakfast. The room is actually far from the new center (the distance in the description refers to the old center and is misleading).

Prós: Friendly staff, good food, comfortable rooms

Contras: Additional costs for SPA center

Prós: Very kind staff, Delicious meals, Great value for the money.

Contras: Almost nothing.

Prós: Beautiful hotel in the forest , very comfortable and clean rooms , food is very diverse, testy and simply amazing! There is a nice pool as well. There is no kettle in your room but that's not a problem , you can always get as much hot water as you wish from the restaurant. I'm sure you won't regret about your decision to stay in that hotel.

Contras: Some receptionists speak almost no English. I wanted to get information about the resort and the slopes when I arrived and the girl could not understand me at all. It says on the website that the location is approximately 1 km from the center and that was not true. Minimum 2,5 km from the actual slopes, which was fine . Taxis are cheap , they provide a shuttle 3 times a day ( night skiing shuttle is not included )and it is always nice to walk in a calm forest ( but not wearing your ski boots )

Prós: The hotel has an amazing location. It is surrounded by trees and fresh air. The rooms are clean and the staff is super friendly. The food is very good and the swimming pool is perfect for a bit of relaxation.

Prós: The staff was super friendly and helpful. Our apartment had a great view and the apartment itself was big and clean. The heating system worked perfectly.

Contras: The swimming pool was not so warm, but it was okay.

Prós: Breakfast

Contras: Men wroking in pool

Prós: Everything was fantastic! Great level of comfort and friendly staff. Good location, free parking, rooms are nice with lovely mountain view and balcony. The SPA is something that I enjoy very much. The restaurant was good as well. Good value for money - HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Prós: Nice view from the 6th floor Very big bed in the bedroom (2 * 2 m) Nice New Years Eve programme

Contras: Dirty carpet in the room Uncomfortable couch in the apartment (we have asked for an extra mattress but they said they do not have any) Bad smell in the bathroom Poor food, very few choices A lot of stairs in the lobby - not baby friendly

Prós: The only good thing about this hotel was the spa. The sauna and steam room were great, the pool area was nice, however the pool wasn't warm and the jacuzzi wasn't warm. After a long day skiing on the slopes, the last thing you want to do is get into a cold pool or jacuzzi to relax.

Contras: This was definitely a budget hotel. We booked a double room for 2 nights and were given a room on the ground floor next to the cleaners quarters. The room itself was ok, but the floor was uneven, the bed was rock solid and very uncomfortable, the bathroom stank (albeit when I spoke to reception they did fix it) and when the room was cleaned, dirty cups were left on the side! The food was less than desirable. Dinner was limited and not to a very high standard. The only drink available at dinner was water. The breakfast was not much better. The first morning there was only coffee or water available and no butter for the toast. The baked beans were cold and the fried eggs were like rubber. An improvement was made on the second morning as there was some juice and butter and a microwave so I could warm up the beans!!! The breakfast was the same each morning, not a lot of variety and again, not to a high standard. In addition, the breakfast is not served until 8am when the first bus to the slopes is at 8.30am. Doesn't quite make sense and means you are rushing to eat in the morning if you want to make first runs. The location is also not ideal. Although there is a free shuttle into the centre a few times a day, it's a 20-30 minute walk to the main area. Taxis are efficient but cost 10BGN each way which can add up if you want to get away from the hotel and enjoy the buzz of the main area.

Prós: The swimming pool and the jacuzzi were very, very nice, and given that we aimed for a spa weekend this was an important aspect of our stay. Our room had a balcony and a view to the river, which was quite pleasant. Although we were on twin beds, they were still quite roomy and comfortable for both sleep and s** :)

Contras: The breakfast on Saturday, when we were just very few people served, was from a predefined menu (6 quite similar options), but neither the quantity, nor the variety were satisfactory.

Prós: The location is nice and the food at the restaurant is great. The staff was friendly. The rooms are spacious.

Contras: The breakfast started at 8 which is quite late for skiers like us. One of the towels wasn't changed and I had to ask about a new one. They don't give separate towels for the spa for free. If you want one, you have to pay for it.

Prós: Sauna was nice since there was no staff in there. Food was decent but in low quantity.

Contras: The staff was extreamly unprofessional. I felt like I was being looked down on, through my stay by the staff. The receptionist was uninformative and bad mannared. The pool is run as a secondary business for swimming lessons. The "swimming instructor" was a a really unpleasant fellow who would constantly yell at us for not wearing flip flops and googgles when they were not a requirement for entering the pool. If you want to swim you have to wear a swimming cap. Thankfully a cap is provided for you at the reception. Overall the pool experience was the worst part of our stay. I thought that when you pay money to a business such as a hotel you would be treated with some form of respect. I guess I was wrong.

Prós: Great place. Second time I stay there.

Prós: View from weendow, localization, price.

Contras: Unpleasant service at the reception. Not comfortable.

Prós: The parking is very big and the location is great. Numerous convenient stores and restaurants nearby. There is also a nice park with climbing attractions 10-15 minute walking distance.

Contras: We had only one set of towels and no bathrobes which for a hotel with spa is illogical. When we requested additional towels at the reception - they charged us additionally. The pool is restricted to use only for people with swimming hat on. The adventure shower had only two out of four options operational.

Prós: The location is great and between the pool, bowling and sports bar there is enough to do if you do not want to leave the hotel

Contras: Paid for spa access but this was only the pool everything else was extra charges also only 1 key available per room

Prós: The room View

Contras: The service AND food

Prós: Basically everything is ok

Contras: Wifi in the room

Prós: Perfect location for skiing.

Contras: Dont have a bath! Brown water comes from the taps, the bath had a massive crack which leaked water all over the floor. They seem to allow other companies to sell their services in the hotel, I'm on holiday for a break - not to be sold too! Rooms can be noisy.

Prós: Location and Food was great

Contras: The pool has cold water

Prós: Perfect location

Contras: It is an old socialist style of hotel. With a renovation project it will become a top notch choice

Prós: Everything else... great view, good food, nice service...

Contras: Uncomfortable bed and noisy refrigerator.

Contras: The ladies ,especially at the front desk, reception should try to make customers feel more welcome and try to smile sometimes. Very cold and unwelcoming approach
