Zoltán Hungary

The best location in Borovets. Close to the lifts, mountains and great location for hiking. The spa center was amazing and very relaxing. I would love to stay there agin!

Victoria United States

+ location (directly in front of the slopes) + room size (for a superior room) + breakfast (plenty of options, large spaces) + facilities (spa, pool, kids area, restaurants, bars, terraces) + free parking

Paul Romania

Great location, super comfortable room, good facilities, nice view, good breakfast.

Victorandrei Romania

The room was clean, comfortable and beautiful. Staff was nice, helpful. Spa was great. Breakfast was just ok but we didn't stay hungry :-). Very good location and a great view.

Alon Israel

good breakfast; nice position near the ski slope; different activities for kids, like climbing, or bike rental, or arch using; nice spa zone with a lot of sauna which weren't agglomerated for the time being there; nice jacuzzi.

Popescu Romania

Landmark hotel in top location. I love Borovets, Rila mountain and surrounding hills and plain. Samokov has also changed since my last visit to Borovets 4 or 5 years ago. It is atractive to visit or stop for rest. Sapareva Banja should not be missed. Even a half day soaking in the thermal springs does mirracles. The 7 Rila Lakes take my breath away everytime although I have hiked there a few times.
