Find Hotels in Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria

I couldn't have been happier for choosing this little hotel in the oldest street of Veliko Tarnovo, which overlooks a winding river and commands a vast view of the city monument across the river. The guest house room was spacious and came with a jacuzzi style big tub. The breakfast was very nice and healthy and is held in the stylishly furnished restaurant downstairs, which also offers great local food and drinks.

Mentally skip the "Grand" and you won't be too disappointed. We planned to stay two nights, decided to extend one more. Spacious rooms with nice view if you get one on the northern side. Initially we were not overly happy due to lack of cleaning in the bathroom (hairs from supposedly several previous guests on the bathroom floor, i.e.). But the nice service of the receptionists and the charm of the city made up for that. Good breakfast. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to others. Ourselves, we might check out Hotel Veliko Tarnovo with it's 1980ies architectural concrete extravaganzas. Its breathtaking looks might not be to everybody's taste, but it is located on a nice, quiet spot at the river. Rooms seem to be smaller, though, at least the one we've looked at.

The location is perfect, close to all major sights and restaurants. We very much appreciated the underground parking as finding a parking spot in Veliko Tarnovo could be difficult otherwise. We booked an attic room which is not very large. We expected the room to be a bit cleaner and were disappointed that Wifi connection didn't work on the top floor during our 3 nights stay. The entrance area (which also is the breakfast room) is not very welcoming (due to its furniture) and we were happy to have breaktfast on the verandah. From there you have a wonderful view over the valley. Staff were nice, some (not all) very helpful and welcoming.

This was a great little hotel. Clean, bright and comfortable. No fridge or kettle in the room but just down the hall there is one along with endless water hot and cold filtered water. There is also a cooler full of drinks for purchase. A very central location with numerous restaurants and shops close by as well as ATM’s. Parking it a bit tight but the staff helped out and found a secure parking spot for our motorcycle close by. I would definitely return to this hotel.

Lists as featuring a terrace, but I did not see it, it is not for guests use. Lists a shared kitchen, but it does not exist. There is a big coffee machine but do not know if it works. There is a tiny drip machine that works. Nothing else, no frig, only the bathroom taps and basin. Entrance is a bit strange. The parking is not free during the day. Descriptions need to be much more accurate than this!

Good points: Price and location! 5 - 10 min walk to city center, old town and to get taxi's. 5-10 min walk away from bus terminal south, which is where the Veliko Tarnovo buses come in to. If you're going to/coming from Plovdiv, you need to go to/arrive from bus terminal west. It's a ways, so get a taxi which should be under 5 lev. Suggestion: Put a sign in English with the hotel's name, I only noticed one in Cyrillic - Bulgarian. I recognized the place from the pictures posted online. Also, put a sign as to which building the reception is in. It's located in a small wooden building/hut behind the main buildings in the parking area next to a covered seating area and vending machines.

this was my 2nd stay at the premier hotel, and i would certainly stay there again. i feel that the hotel offers a great value, when you consider the price versus the location, comfort, good service, and facilities. the hotel has a great central location that puts it close (within walking distance) to all of the major attractions (including the historic sights such as assens’ monument, the tsarevets fortress, the old town area of samovodska charshiya, etc.), yet it is about a half block off of the main street, so it is also quiet. the hotel personnel, from the sales & marketing manager who i had the opportunity to meet, on down, were all very friendly, courteous, and helpful, and spoke good english. i arrived just before christmas, expecting to receive the nice “double room for single use” that i had booked, and stayed in before. instead, i was pleasantly surprised to find that i had been upgraded to one of the large apartment rooms on the fifth floor, with a very nice view of the city. the room had a large queen-sized bed, and large sitting area with a coffee table and 2 sofas, one of which would fold out into another bed. the bathroom was tiled and very spacious and open, and had a shower (no tub). a hairdryer and complementary soaps, shampoos, body gels, shaving kit and dental kit were provided. on the desk was a huge television, which had many english channels, including cnn, bbc, the history channel, axn, national geographic, and at least 1 or 2 (free) movie channels. there was a mini-refrigerator in the room. there was no in-room safe, but one was available, free of charge, next to the reception desk. the buffet breakfast in the hotel restaurant was fine, with a good selection of both hot and cold items. the hotel’s spa is especially nice, and includes an indoor pool, steam room, sauna, and massage area. a bathrobe was provided in the room, for use when visiting the spa. there is an outdoor pool for use in the summer, on the roof of the hotel.

this is the second time i have stayed at this hotel, this time with my wife, the staff a ver helpful and all speak english, they have a very good restaurant within the hotel, and a small pool on the roof ( cold water ) ther is a vegetable open market across the road and a small supermarket, plenty to see and do. the taxis are very cheap the hotel also provide parking on site, we both enjoyed our stay and will be comming back in the future.

as soon as we arrived we were made very welcome the hotel was very clean throughout, the room was great with great views of the castle all shops are in easy walking distance. they have a restauarnt on the top floor with full panoramic views all round we wanted to stay longer at this hotel but the were fully booked which i unterstood if you stay here you will come back so if you in V T use this hotel you will not be dissapointed.

we stayed here just for one night. the rooms were nice, spacious enough and clean, mini bar prices were the cheapest i've seen anywhere else in bulgaria, the hotel is centrally situated for the touristy bit of vt. breakfast was a bit strange, one piece of cake and a coffee but it was very nice. car parking is limited but we managed to get in although i don't know if the hotel was full or because the way into it was up a steep narrow road and when we were there it was covered in snow.

This is an amazing place to stay! It has ultramodern amenities, which are so well blended into the 18th century style of Arbanasi. The location is great- a lot to do in Arbsnasi, which is a perfect outlet to Veliko Tarnovo and the entire region. The atmoshpere in phenomenal, large inside court-garden, nice food, great front desk service. I have a couple of serious recommendations to the management about the kitchen. It is nice that the restaurant menu lists allergens for each food item, however, the kitchen does not stick to that. For example, I have severe dairy allergy and my meal had a massive amount of cheese that should not be there. The cook did not show concern to cook the food according to the menu, because 'this is how he does it'. The servers seemed to be afraid of him to address the issue. Another example is the breakfast. They have a choice of 5 breakfasts. I chose #1 but without cheese. I was told that I am not allowed to customize my meal because this is an instruction from the management and the cook will make a fuss. They gave me the standard meal and advised me to remove what I am allergic to. It is hard to believe that in 2016 the cook is making the choices, not the client.

The hotel is in a very good location in the center of Velikio Tarnova only a short taxi rode from the train station. Do not attempt to walk to the hotel from there. The room was well furnished but small. The staff was very friendly , helpful and available for assistance. Internet was not available in the room only the lobby. The shower was in the middle of the bathroom , with no enclosure and results in everything getting wet. This creates a real safety issue with the wet slippery floors. There is no elevator and if you end up on the 4th floor as we did it is quite a struggle getting baggage up and down the stairs. The breakfast is minimal .

We enjoyed the hotel - the location, staff, the room was large with a sitting area and balcony (which could use some chairs so it's easier to use) and the breakfast buffet had lots to choose from. It was very clean and had everything we needed. It was a little outdated, and while some things were brand new (the shower fixtures) others were a little worn. Well kept, but still worn. The internet was weak sometimes, and sometimes not there at all. The pool wasn’t full (is this a Bulgaria thing?) and hidden away in a dark windowless room – not very inviting. The gym was nice, but small. Overall a great choice – with a great view – for the city.

The highlight of this stay was Evgeni and how he picked me up from the train station despite being delayed by around 1 hour, and how he treated me to an organic dinner and a local dish for breakfast. Am not too crazy about the location because there was no view from that room's window, but everything was nearby and bicycles were available for rental and there were 2 bus stations nearby as well as parks & the center etc. Evgeni sure has a lot of knowledge to share as he is not only well travelled & educated, but he's also very kind and hospitable xD

Absolutely perfect! We were 5 adults in a 2 day getaway to Veliko Turnover, in search of our ancestors' homes (grandparents & great grandparents). The view was breath taking and it was very well situated to the center of town on a tiny cobble stone road giving you the authentic feel of this city with tremendous history! Full size kitchen. 2 bedrooms with 2 small beds in each and a hide-a-bed in the living room sofa. Great long balcony facing the stunning hillside and view of all the old homes. This home will make you feel like you've stepped back in time. It's very clean too! Slippers and towels included. :)
