Featuring a sauna, Gnezdo Studio Apart is set in Shipka. The air-conditioned accommodation is 13 km from Shipka Peak, and guests benefit from private parking available on site and free WiFi.

Boasting a Blu-ray player, the apartment has a kitchenette with a microwave, a fridge, a living room, a dining area, 1 bedroom, and 1 bathroom with a shower. A flat-screen TV with satellite channels and a DVD player are offered.

We went to Kazanlak for the Rose Festival and booked this accommodation in Shipka. The apartment is on the first floor and is about 300m from the Shipka bus station which we depended on because we do not drive. It is also right next to the Shipka Memorial Church and a restaurant is 10m from the apartment so it really is located in the prime spot. As far as the interior of the apartment is concerned, it is a mansion as the details of the decor suggests that the owners clearly have impeccable taste. The place is just elegant and the bed is super comfortable. There is a spacious living room and dining area. The coffee capsules the owner provided was also a nice touch. The bathroom comes with a large sink and the shower arrangement is very enjoyable. The apartment even comes with a sauna which we did not use and laptops are provided. There was also a DVD entertainment system and a gigantic TV. Everything about the apartment is a statement of quality and class. Being able to come back to an apartment like this after a long day is truly a treat. The owners are very kind people and did us a favor by taking us to Buzludzha and waited an hour for us for a small fee which we really appreciated.

We like the hotel very much. It feels like we are living in the forest and it is so peaceful. The hotel is very well decorated, small but elegant. And the price is so resonable. Not to mention the simple breakfast is so delicious. We like the milk and sausage. We'd love to come back if possible.

Хотел-ресторант Шипка, връх Шипка features free bikes, garden, a terrace and restaurant in Prevala. The property is around 17 km from Etar, less than 1 km from Shipka Peak and 21 km from Sokolski Monastery. Free WiFi and room service are provided.

I was in the area to visit the Buzludzha Monument, and this hotel is right at the top of Shipka Pass, which means it was right at the start of one of the two roads up to the monument. I was there between seasons, and the proprietor basically opened up just for me, had a nice room waiting with a heater, and made me a lovely bowl of soup. Looks like this place would be super fun during trekking season, with a bar restaurant and game room, huge wood burning stove and pool table. Great off the beaten track experience, would stay here again in a heartbeat.

    The hotel definitely exceeded our expectations - it's looks brand new, with spacious mountain style common areas, with expensive finishing, good food, very kind staff, decently sized room and quite big bathroom. There is a kids room with some toys and puzzles which our kid liked. I enjoyed excellent affordable massage, but didn't have a chance to check on the SPA zone. Edelweiss is located at a walking distance from the Buzludzha monument, but bear in mind this is quite high in the mountain and you should consider winter conditions.

    What did we like? To say EVERYTHING in capitals seems a little over the top but it’s true. We arrived after a hot and unpleasant train/taxi journey from Sofia and were greeted like family. The owners asked about dietary needs for breakfast, sorted out transport for the following day to Shipka Pass and the ‘UFO’ structure. Breakfast was delicious and home cooked. Authentic friendly Bulgarian hotel. If we are passing along the Valley of Roses we will detour to stay here. It’s that good!

    The hotel is located in a superb area, in the middle of the forest. We will go with the kids next time! The staff and the waitress are so so kind an nice. The bed are very comfy, the silence is so satisfying, you wake up with birds singings and nothing else. There are a lot of hiking/trekking trips to take, but also near by attractions reachable by car. The food was very nice and the atmosphere is fairy like.
