The decoration of the hotel was absolutely charming and had a cozy, vintage feel. I loved the beautiful antique furniture and floral patterns throughout the hotel. The general areas were clean, well-maintained, and had plenty of comfortable seating. It was easy for senior people like me to move around and relax. The children working there were always ready to assist and made sure I felt safe and comfortable.

If I had to ask for one thing to make the vacation better for senior people, I would suggest having handrails in the hallways and staircases. This would provide extra support and stability for those with mobility issues.

We had a fantastic stay at this welcoming hotel in Shipka. The hosts were friendly and helpful, and the room was large, comfortable, and quiet with a lovely garden view. The breakfast and dinner were delicious, with great quality and service. The price was very reasonable and the hosts had excellent local knowledge. We enjoyed talking with them and felt right at home. The location was perfect for exploring the Thracian kings' valley and nearby monuments. We definitely recommend this hotel.

100% Recommend this hotel.

Well heated rooms in winter. The carpet was thin and it looked like it should have been replaced. We try to choose hotels with tiles or wooden floors but sometimes this is not possible. In newer or well-maintained hotels, carpets are not usually a problem for us.

Carpet odor

We had a rad time exploring the beautiful surroundings and getting our adrenaline pumping with some wicked cycling and hiking activities. The hotel owners, Ivan and Tosha, were so chill and made sure we had an awesome experience. The rooms were comfy and modern, with killer views from the balcony. And let's not forget the mouthwatering food and the cool swimming pool. A total teenage paradise!

If there's one thing we could ask for, it would be more late-night party options for us young and energetic folks. We had a blast during the day, but we were craving some wild nighttime fun to keep the adventure going.

The hotel facilities were excellent, with a lovely pool and well-maintained gardens. The location was perfect, nestled in a quiet neighborhood and with beautiful views of the surrounding valley and nearby mountains. The staff were incredibly kind, helpful, and knowledgeable about the village and the region. Breakfast was outstanding, one of the best we've had in years.

There was nothing we didn't like.

A well kept garden with seating facilities invites you to soak up the sun, just like a lazy cat enjoying a warm summer day.

Carpet odor.

The hosts at this hotel were absolutely lovely and made our New Year's stay truly memorable. They were friendly and engaging, providing us with valuable insights about Bulgaria and its history. The meals at their restaurant were delicious, both the dinner and the breakfast. We also enjoyed the fact that the hotel is conveniently located near Shipka Pass, making it a perfect stopover for travelers.

One aspect of our stay was not as pleasant. The carpet in our two-room apartment had a certain odor that was a bit off-putting.

I had a wonderful stay at a cozy hotel with a nice pool and garden. The view from my room overlooking the valley was breathtaking. The owner, Ivan, was incredibly helpful, giving me great recommendations and making my stay pleasant. The price for my stay was excellent, offering great value for money. I would definitely go back again!

The Shipka Peak monument is just a short drive away - so convenient. Loved the onsite sauna and steam bath, and the outdoor pool with stunning views. The restaurant was a treat. Activities galore! Cons: Absolutely nothing to complain about. Perfect!

Shipka Peak is a 20-min drive from the hotel, so convenient to conquer. Onsite sauna AND steam bath? Feeling fancy already. Outdoor pool with views? Bliss! Activities offered? I’ll try not to get bored. And to top it all off, an on-site restaurant. Heaven!

Ugh, the hotel is too accommodating. I mean, who needs that?

Lovely family small hotel with very kind, helpful hosts. Delicious food, both for breakfast and dinner. Excellent local knowledge and great conversationalists. Spacious, clean rooms with a beautiful view. Convenient location for exploring nearby attractions.

Felt so relaxed, no reason to complain.

Shipka It Hotel had everything we could ask for and more! The room provided comfortable accommodation, and the terrace offered a stunning view of the valley for a peaceful dining experience. The owners, Ivan and his wife, were incredibly interesting and kind, making us feel right at home. Ivan's fluent English and extensive knowledge about the area made our conversations a treat. His wife prepared a fantastic breakfast, and her hospitality made our stay even more enjoyable. The hostess also recommended a great restaurant for dinner, or offered to cook for us if we preferred. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and the hosts made our stay truly memorable. We would definitely recommend this hotel and look forward to returning.
