Lovely large room - although some of the decor was older, it was all very clean and well presented. Good air conditioning system kept the room nice and warm. 2 doors separating the hotel corridor and the main bedroom, (bathroom and wardrobe in between) so it was beautifully quiet. Free parking on the road (the owners will assist to make sure you are parked safely). In the morning i was made a beautifully presented, abundant breakfast for only 10BGN additional, which set me up for my day. Both owners are friendly and want to ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible, and reminded me of staying with family. Ideal spot for my stop over to see buzludzha monument and shipka church.

In the short period we stayed, we managed to see all the sights around the town. The responsive staff advises us on how to get around everything so that we don't waste our time and where they cook the most deliciously so that we don't go astray. Luckily for us, the place to eat turned out to be no more than 15 minutes from the hotel itself. The short walk between the hotel and the restaurant gives an opportunity to see a small part of the city, revealing part of its unique charm.
On the negative side of things, I would be hard pressed to describe any. I would be lying to myself if I said we experienced any kind of inconvenience.

Nice located, just near "Valley of the Thracian kings", you can visit the Thracian Thombs / tumulus that was excavated until now, you can visit the Roses Fields (if you are there in June / July) and the Roses oil museum in Kazanlak, do not forget to visit also the beautiful Shipka Orthodox Church.
And of course, Buzludha and Socialis Torch monuments, also the Shipka Peek monument need to be visited!

The Shipka Memorial Church is absolutely magnificent, and its golden domes can be seen from miles away. While you are there do go down to the crypt to see photos of it being built and of its inaugeration in 1902, and you can read about it in Bulgarian and English. It was started in 1855 and completed in 1902. You have a choice of three ways to get to it: 1. up about 160 stone steps. 2. up the road to the right of the steps that leads to a zigzag path to it. 3. drive up the steep cobbled road to the left of the steps to a parking area with souvenir shops and a fruit stall, then walk up a few steps to the church and a small restaurant and another souvenir shop.
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!
There was no breakfast as the restaurant is being renovated. Vesalina who runs the hotel directed us to other local restaurants for meals, and her husband assisted us to get our heavy luggage up to our room. We had the same room as before when we stayed there in 2019 with wonderful views over the vast valley. The magnificent church is an easy walk up the mountain above the hotel. Our room was cozy and warm, and very well equipped with all that we needed.
The location was perfect for us to see everything we wanted during our stay. We visited the ethnographic village at Etar, the liberty memorial at Shipka Peak, four of the Thracian tombs/burial mounds and Kazanluk. The Shipka church, just a few minutes walk from the apartment, was a real highlight. There is a small car park with disabled bays at the church for anyone unable to climb the steps.
Charming house near the centre of Shipka. Helpful and friendly owners, who were able to offer some useful advice. Fantastic outside cooking (BBQ) facilities and a beautiful garden in general. An easy drive to the Shipka battlefield/monument, for history buffs, and also for other activities, such as horse riding. Well-stocked shop a few metres walk away...
Great hotel in a historic town in Bulgaria. Great size room and bathroom. Top notch hospitality at all hours of the day and night. Also, the ground floor had a pleasant surprise, a souvenir shop with authentic Bulgarian clay pots and other merchandise. We will definitely be back.
Location was great, close to Buzludzha. Very clean, quiet and tranquil hotel.Compliments to staff for being so friendly and nice.Lovely restaurant with large terrace with tables for eating outdoor. Highly recommended.Great selection for breakfast-continental, omelettes,etc.
Lady at the reception is very kind and helpful. The rooms are comfortable. Next door is a good restaurant, here you can also eat à la carte breakfast for a good price. Free parking in front of the hotel. Short walk to the local church with shiny golden roof.
Beautiful surroundings, the hotel is a gem, secluded, placed near the forest. All is very clean, the staff is very hospitable, attentive, delicious food. You can visit the Buzludzha Monument which is in walking distance from the hotel, around 40min.
I arrived quite late at the hotel and there were not any guest. The hosts were extremely welcoming even though we couldnt comunicate because if the language barrier. I got a better room for my needs and also she prepared a nice meal in the evening.
Friendly staff. Ready parking (February). Restaurant open all day and evening. Helped with gluten allergy friendly meals. Good location for visiting Russian church. Shipka and Budluzhda within easy driving distance (weather permitting)
The location was perfect, very quite. Host was very kind, room spacious, breakfast delicious, the poll was great after a long day trip. Very well equipped hotel with everything needed. I really recommend it.
The hotel is in the perfect spot high up the mountains in close proximity to the Buzludzha Monument and with amazing views of the forest around. The rooms were clean and the beds were extremely comfortable.
Tosha was very friendly! We were there for Bulgarian Easter and were treated great. Also slept like a baby - the air so near the mountains was amazing and the town is very calm⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Amazing hotel located in a beautiful mountain! It is very rare to find a place that is both so close to the nature and so luxurious. We would definitely visit it again.
