This is a traditional funky roadside hotel, right on the main road so all manner of traffic zoom past. Adequate in a pinch.

I liked the appartmanet overall, it has place for parking one car inside the garden, there is a small barbeque there aswell. Inside the appartment you will feel comfortable enough. There is a small issue in the bathroom where the boiler (i think) drips small quantity of water and by the end of the day when you get back from skying you have to wipe with the mop. Other than this, nothing is wrong with the appartment, the kitchen is equipped with all the neccesary. Incredible value for money. The bed in the bedroom has 5 massage functions and heating which is very nice after an exhausting day. The host is very friendly and will be available for help all throughout your stay. Thanks for hosting!

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.

We were visiting friends so we had a reason to go out of skiing season but still manged to get into the beautiful mountains around Samokov - the town itself is quite busy with everything you will need - the people are friendly and helpful which made us feel safe wherever we were

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.
Great staff - very polite and very welcoming. Stanislav and Katia makes you feel you are at your own home. Spacious, clean and comfortable room with balcony overlooking the beautiful surrounding mountains. Free parking space and in both sides of the hotel there were supermarkets. If you are planning to go to Borovets, I think this is a better option than the overpriced resort hotels and only 10 - 12 minutes by car from the slopes. Delicious home made food for dinner
Perfect for skiing at Borovets with limited budget if transport is arranged. There is a mini market just in the same building. There are enough parking places. Lots of TV channels. The appartment is really big.
What a gem! We found this hotel quite by accident and it's just great. The restaurant is outstanding - excellent food and super nice and friendly service. Highly recommended!
