My stay at the hotel was overall quite pleasant, thanks to its fantastic location right in the center of Veliko Tarnovo. The rooms were clean and had good amenities, though some of the furniture felt a bit dated. The service from the staff was friendly and helpful, which made my visit more enjoyable. However, I found the dining options to be a bit basic and not up to par with a 4-star standard.

The hotel offers a great central location, making it easy to explore most attractions on foot. However, the rooms need a bit of an update and were overall not very romantic, plus the service could use some improvement as it felt quite uncomfortable at times.
