Boutique Hotel & Spa Tsarevets

a hotel that also has 3 star rooms that don't look good at all, only the bathrooms have been renovated. Torn wallpaper, mold, spiders, dirty and stained baby cot, uncomfortable mattresses and pillows, very hot rooms in summer and the worst thing is the breakfast and its service which is horror - I DO NOT RECOMMEND

Disgusting experience….. We were put in a room that was just awful. The room was extremely dirty, the sofa was torn, the sheets and blankets were dirty.... In the bathroom, everything was moldy and broken. There will be some hole with power cables that was opened! There were expired products in the mini bar! Just awful! Never again at this hotel!

I still blame ourselves how could we accept to stay at this hotel! I think there is some confusion with a hotel next by having almost the same name but much higher rating. We always make a research beforehand for our accommodation but this time we fell into a trap. We stayed two nights at this establishment during our holidays around the country and it was the worst choice of all. And we'd been to many hotels in Bulgaria. Let's start with the good points... Hotel is well located, within a short walking distance from Tsarevets fortress. It's also in the old city which allows you to reach it easily after going around. The neighbourhood is calm and away from the traffic of the main streets. Breakfast is so and so. Nothing to recall really but still acceptable. Now, let's get into the room we had. At first glance everything looks tidy and indeed the photos on the internet reflect what you initially see at the hotel. But, the photos don't show the hygiene, cleanliness and professionalism. It's like there is no management at this place. It's like everything is in auto-pilot. We entered our room quickly after checking in, to leave our things and go to visit the fortress. Upon arrival in the room, we notice that the bed sheets were crumpled. Bed was prepared and tidy but everything looked kind of used. You couldn't tell for sure that the housekeeping changed the bed sheets. It's out of my own logic to think that a hotel can put new clients in rooms where the bed sheets haven't been changed (!), so, we thought that maybe it's a policy of the hotel not to iron the bed sheets for energy consumption matters. We didn't see any obvious dirt to confirm our fear. We went away for visiting the fortress and city and returned back to the hotel late. Again, we had our question marks when going to bed if we are really sleeping in a clean room... It was late to start complaining to the reception so we decided next morning to share our thoughts with the receptionist. The next day, going down for breakfast we reported to the lady that we were unsure if we had a clean room or if it is a matter of policy for not ironing the sheets, because everything looked crumpled upon arrival. She confirmed that they iron the bed sheets but maybe in our case the sheets were still a bit wet and weren't enough ironed. She said to us that definitely our sheets were clean but she will ask anyway the housekeeper to change everything at the cleaning of the room during the day. Later in the day, returning to our room we found it exactly at the same condition as we left it in the morning! No new towels, old towels on the floor, no toilet paper, no shower gels, bed as we left it in the morning. After seeing this we were sure that indeed the room we had was not cleaned the previous day from the previous clients and no bed sheets changed. I went downstairs to the lady at the reception. I reported the situation and she was like surprised. I asked what is the policy of cleaning the rooms in the
