The purpose of our trip was skiing in Borovets.
The purpose of our trip was skiing in Borovets. Samokov was a good value alternative to Borovets as we had a rental car. The drive between the two is very easy 10-15 minutes.
There is some nice traditional restaurants in Samokov and much better value than the restaurant in the Borovets resort. If you don't mind staying outside of Borovets this is a good option to save money.
There are 3 big supermarkets next to eachother in Samokov, Lidl, T market and Billa so you can get everything you need if you are self catering.

Close to Borovets, but quieter and more traditional. Lots of lovely restaurants serving local and european dishes at great prices. You cant always recognise a restaurant from outside as they look just like normal houses (not in the town centre, no menus outside, no windows looking out on to the street to see through, so best to check online or ask advice).
We had a nice walk through the town centre with it’s statues and fountains, parking on the street was fine and very quiet at noght.

Samokov is a short drive to the ski resort of Borovets and if you prefer not to be in the bustle of a ski resort at night there are plenty of restaurants. Whilst we we there it snowed all week but I could imagine that in the summer that there are some lovely parks and walks nearby

Lovely bulgarian town, busy market there to look around, good bus route to it from Sofia.
Can also get the bus to Borovert for about 2 levs.
Lovely old buildings to look at, lovely swimming area in the town for in summer and good big food shopping places. The younger people speak some form of English, but there nodding for yes and shaking for no is the other way so can get confusing. Worth a visit.
The rooms were amazing!!! They were so warm and cozy! The owners were so kind and helpful. We also had dinner at the restaurant and the dishes were mouth watering! The portions were gigantic! The homemade ice cream and chocolate soufflé were divine and the Bulgarian breakfast was fulfilling and delicious! We were so lucky to have found this amazing hotel!!! Highly recommended if you want to have an unforgettable experience in Bulgaria. We will definitely come back!
Stayed here for a long ski weekend in Borovets. A nice modern hotel. Really good value. I wouldn't really complain about not getting breakfast, as for the money we paid, it was just an added bonus. Close to some nice retaurants and a 24hour supermarket, which you can purchase most items, including food, very cheap. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to stay in Samokov.
It was clean and modern.
+ the attitude of the staff towards us - everyone was extremely kind and helpful
* they allowed us an early check-in & a very late check-out
* prompt reply of our message via the Booking.com app
+ the cleanness of the room & the whole hotel
+ the fresh & tasty food (especially the local trout fish & the veal meatballs)
+ the green and cozy garden
+ the free parking lot behind the hotel building
The room was clean and the bed was comfortable.
We had a car so the location wasn't really relevant as we stayed here and drove to Borovets to ski each morning. It was only about 10 - 15 minute drive to Borovets so this is a good value alternative to staying in Borovets if you have a car.
The shared kitchen and facilities were good.
Free parking on the street outside the hotel.
-Nice position, near big supermarkets as Lidl and closed to the bus station of Samokov. (Only 15 min to Borovets!!)
-The receptionist was super gentle and helpful.
-The room was quite big with a balcony, a small but clean bathroom and a living zone with sofas and tea table.
-The breakfast was also good for the price.
Spacious apartment,fully equipped kitchen,easy to find,onwer very polite and discreet,parking was a plus! Right next by there's a 24hour shop(also useful). Definitely better to choose Samokov just 10 minutes away from ski center and quieter.
Nice balcony, spacious bathroom, feather pillows and duvets, comfortable area for breakfast, easy reach to resrauranrs, supermarkets and Borovets, helpful hosts. We had a lovely stay, thank you!
Very nicely renovated flat in samokov. Kitchen was well stocked and had everything you needed to cook simple meals. A baby crib was provided for free and the host communication was very easy.
Very well positioned rooms and three bathrooms which makes it easy when you have 5+ people on the property at once. Big back yard and plenty of space for four vehicles to park in it.
Nice apartment, clean, hot water in shower (with okay water pressure), washing machine available, great host, easy to get in, good parking space, great base for skiing in Borovets
Onsite restaurant offers good selections and drinks and food at very good prices.
Room is large even for a single room. Internet is amazingly fast in all areas of the hotel.
Clean, quiet, spacious room, comfortable bed, balcony with nice view, accurate photos and description, friendly host, good wifi. Highly recommended. I would stay here again.
