      Myself + my fiance have just returned from a week in the smolyan hotel in bulgaria, it's a great hotel, staff are friendly, rooms are tidy they are cleaned every day, pool is clean catches the sun for most of the day. We have no complaints what so ever I would recommend it to anyone if you want peace and quiet, away from the strip but close enough to walk to then this is the hotel for you .

      I would rate this hotel as a 2 star or less. The only thing that was good about this hotel was the dinning room and bar staff. Food was luke warm, not enough choice, same soggy mixed veg every evening. Room was not cleaned every day. Same bed sheets all week, Towels changed twice a week, One bath and one hand towels each. Had to ask at reception for toilet rolls. Also I took one off the cleaners trolley because we ran out again. Bathroom could do with a deep clean. Will not be back.

      Acest hotel este de evitat! In afara de amplasare si design frumos, totul este execrabil. Am avut o experienta groaznica, pana in ultima zi cand ne-am stricat la stomac din cauza mancarii. Vreau sa precizez ca personalul hotelului este de cea mai joasa speta, incepand cu receptionerele care afiseaza un aer superior si te trateaza ca pe ultimul jeg. Cei care cara bagajele nu se multumesc cu bacsisul pe care il oferi, iti spun de la obraz ca ei nu muncesc pe salariu si ca bacsisul minim este de 5 leva. Apoi: circula prin acest hotel o baba dementa care facea pe proasta. Patul din studio nu fusese pregatit cu cerceafuri, perne etc, iar cand a venit (la ora 23.00 !!!) a dat din umeri cu nerusinare, in semna ca in afara de cerceaf nu are ce sa mai aduca. Nu intelegea o iota engleza. Patul era rupt, i-am dat de inteles ca nu putem dormi pe el, sa ne aduca altul. I-am sugerat sa vorbeasca la receptie, intr-un final, intr-o nesimtita cardasie cu receptionera si probabil cu acceptul conducerii, ne-a adus un pat pliant, nemai vrand sa paraseasca camera. Tipa efectiv ca o nebuna, in bulgareste, probabil cersea cumva bacsis, dar, Dumnezeule, merita cineva vreun bacsis pentru toata aceasta nesimtire ???Dupa cati nervi si timp ne-au consumat ? Pana la urma am dat-o efectiv afara din camera, la 12 noaptea. COSMAR !!!! Daca cineva din acest hotel are urechi sa auda, sa auda! Femeia e psihopata pur si simplu ! Dati-o urgent afara pana nu face vreo duma si sare la gatul vreunui client. Am dormittoata noaptea cu spaima ca ar putea intra peste noi in camera sa ne omoare !!Deci OCOLITI ACEST HOTEL DE NESIMTITI !
