    Perfect location, suitable rooms - all you need for a weekend

    I'd say it worth doing some renovation, all the things are not new. It isn't a big problem, just a perception. Actually, from a functional point of view all was good, no complains. Just align your expectation with the fact that Melnik is a quite tiny town and there are no 5-star hotels at all. Also, actually there is no dedicated parking, you just park your car on the streets near the place. However, it works pretty well :)

    The location is perfect, the rooms are ok for the price, breakfast is also ok (not superior but fine), the town itself is amazing. I saw a lot of hotels and this one is good for the town and the price. If I'll be there once again, most probably I'll choose this hotel.

    Would have been nice to be able to make own tea and coffee, but that’s a minor point.

    Good location, top of the Main Street and walking distance to local attractions. Parking outside on the street was fine. Lovely clean and spacious apartment room, with excellent breakfast. Good service. Good wifi. We enjoyed Melnik - good restaurants, lovely monastery walks, interesting local wine and wineries..

    Lovely hotel but no hot tub / jacuzzi :(

    Note that despite the hotel being advertised as having a hot tub / jacuzzi, it is only working for a few months in the summer. Therefore, this information is quite misleading and should be updated properly. The mattress was tired and saggy and the base sheets didn't cover it properly, so I woke up with them twisted everywhere. Bigger sheets would be a good idea.

    The person who greeted us at reception (and made breakfast the next day) was lovely. Little English but very helpful. The room was large and clean. The shower was hot. The breakfast was called 'Complet' and consisted of toast, jam, tomatoes, cheese, peppers, cucumbers, hard boiled egg, etc. (this was the vegetarian option). The hotel is in a good position to explore the village.

    The mattress was too soft for my taste. It is true that it depends on personal preferences - it was good for others from our group.

    Very interesting town. The hotel respects the local architecture. Super staff and great food. The owner is very welcoming.

    Staff's english knowledge is very poor, room was small, and not too clean. Fridge was smelly. Shower and toilet is in one small room, actualy you can have a shower sitting on the toilet. :D Waiter in the restaurant was helpful but pretty slow.

    The staff, the restaurant, and the location is outstanding! Dinner (Bolyarka speciality) was awesome, house wine was very good, and the staff was very helpful. They accept dogs without extra costs (in the resturant too). Melnik is wonderfull, you have to try it!

    The bed mattress was a bit uncomfortable, the sheets a bit too short and we kept hitting our heads into the ceiling lamp in the middle of the room.

    The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast and the homemade tea were delicious.

    The room we selected was a two room apartment, which gave us plenty of room to spread out for reading and working while there. The hotel was right in the center of town and an easy walk to everything. The host was very friendly and helpful. We had breakfast included with our rooms. They offered a choice of cooked breakfast selections, and the second day we had homemade banitsa, a Bulgarian specialty. Theirs was delicious.

    It was the worst breakfast we have experienced anywhere in the world. Mekitsi tough- how can that happen? Inferior sirene and watery jam. Only to be topped by the undrinkable coffee and we had to pay for each coffee we had from the machine behind the counter. Then there were the flies and the uncovered meat. We declined breakfast on the second morning only to enjoy our breakfast at the closest OMV garage, with smiley and helpful staff! The bathroom had mould all around the bath and handbasin. Two old bits of soap, half used toilet rolls, no shampoo conditioner and no hairdryer. No kettle as advertised. Pillows were lumpy. Unfortunately, we also booked a table in the restaurant on our first evening ….. average to poor in all respects, especially the Pork in mushroom sauce and French fries, which was a few French fries, covered in what seemed to be a barely reconstitute packed of mushroom soup and a few bits of meat, which we were assured was at sometime in the past a pig! The homemade wine was however, quite good.

    We enjoyed the amount of space in the suite, and that it had very efficient air conditioning. The bed was moderately comfortable.
