Sofia

The room was clean and adequate for a night’s sleep after a long day of hiking. However, we were very dissatisfied and disappointed that the spa pools closed at 8 pm and only reopened at 10 am. We arrived around that time, and we specifically booked this place because of its amenities. The restaurant also closed at 8 pm, and breakfast was only available until 9:30 am. This meant we were unable to use the hot pools during our stay, and we could not have breakfast there either. I would not recommend this hotel, nor would I stay there again. Considering it was a Saturday night, I expected longer opening hours.

When visiting this part of the country, it is very remote, and the park hotel was the perfect spot away from everything. While the rooms are small, they are comfortable and easily accessible. The restaurant also is very good and has breathtaking views of the mountainside from their patio area. While there is nothing really around other than a small convenience store, the hotel more than makes up for that with their excellent service. Would highly recommend!
