National Palace Wine & Spa Hotel

Nice experience with nice bedroom, good restaurant and confortable spa facility. The Bulgarian cook is fine and the waiters are very sympathetic. The menu is diversified. The room are quiet, the bed not too firm.

Great location. We were in a superior room. Large and clean, with the option of using the spa area. Excellent staff. Very well selected. Everyone is responsive and attentive. They also helped us find a parking space for the car. We had dinner in the restaurant. Congratulations to the chef. The waiters were great. Everything was very tasty. We also tried wine from your winery. It was excellent with the right temperature. On leaving, we bought a few bottles to take home. We also visited the spa. It is very good. We had information that it was good, but nevertheless we were very pleasantly surprised. Great steam bath and herbal sauna. We liked everything we tried.

Amazing boutique hotel! Nice people at your service, good atmosphere, great spa and tasty food. Not so much to do at this town but the area is beautiful and peaceful.. We'll be back for sure. Recommended!

We have booked 6 rooms. Business team building. I’m at the Room 703 and is extremely noisy from the music downstairs at 23:30. I have made a phone call to reception to complain , they said is nothing they can do until 00:00. The whole room is shaking and impossible the get rest ! So disappointed!! Will never visit again !!

I picked this hotel because it’s number one on TA. Boy, am I sorry I did it! A Bulgarian friend made the reservation on the phone, in my presence. He clearly described our party and our needs and he was quoted a firm price for a suite. Upon arrival, we discovered that the “suite” was actually two room separated by a door and with one bathroom. Since this wasn’t going to do it for us, we were shown two other choices and assured the price will stay the same. The hotel is new and features some extremely poor architectural judgment: on a two and a half story hotel you have to CHANGE ELEVATORS, to get to your room. Once you walk inside the hotel, you are enveloped by the steam coming from the spa located at the lowest level. The rooms lack elementary facilities: no table, no desk, no credenza, ONE chair, one bed, a built-in closet and TV. But the worst is yet to come. We go to dinner at a picturesque place out of town (Vodenitzata, separate review) and upon return decide to have a night cap in the outdoor bar/garden of the hotel. We order Hennessy VSOP from the menu of drinks. The cognac we are served is the lowest grade, probably Napoleon or VS. True disclosure: I’ve been drinking cognac for the better part of my life, and that’s a long time, trust me on this. Hennessy is my favorite, so you might say I'm more than familiar with its taste. When the check comes, it features a price for XO grade (the highest grade of cognac) and the price is TRIPLE what’s on the menu. When we question it, the waiter first brings an EMPTY bottle of XO and pretends that this was the bottle they served us from. Half an hour later the Manager of the Restaurant runs over, apologizes for the empty bottle attempt and proclaims she’d refund our money. Given the extend of the offense, I expect full refund, after all we’ve been wronged about 60 Euro and our otherwise beautiful evening has been spoiled. Imagine my surprise when, after another half hour, she brings us 10 Euro and some coins… Absolutely disgusting. Next morning, when we are checking out, the bill for the rooms is, you guessed, far higher than the quoted price… I am on a tight schedule and cannot waste any time to look for redress, so I let it go. But I have to say this: for the ten days I spent in this country, both in the capital and traveling around, I did not see a single attempt to cheat us, except this place. Darn shame. Don’t walk, RUN AWAY from it. **
