    As Bulgaria is black listed at the central bank in the country I am living so I could not make CC booking and after communicating with the Hotel they kept my booking and accepted cash payment at the end of my stay. (Non of my CC worked anywhere in Bulgaria..:(

    The Hotel is very very very very dated and reminds you of a bad movie form the 60's. several outlets are closed, the Japanese is run by a fast food chain and the mattress in my room was as old as the Hotel. I had to flip the mattress and use the spare pillows and place them as support under the mattress after the first sleepless night. No safe, no coffee maker only wired internet so don't bring your ipad (but speed was OK) Wireless in the lobby. Bathroom yellow tub and ceiling round and black corners, lighting all over very poor and on top broken bulbs in the room have not been changed. F&B price the highest in town - no wonder their outlets are empty - about 4 times as much as other places and good restaurants outside

    I had a pleasent stay at Kempinski Zografski. I had free car parking and free Wi-fi at the lobby. The pool was very clean and nice. The price was cost effective.

    I had stayed in a standart room. The room was clean but quite old. Breakfast was expensive.

    cute staff
    cleanliness issues

    The hotel was quite excellent at first glance, but

    The issues we encountered, such as cleanliness and maintenance, really detracted from our experience. The staff were cute, but the reception service felt overworked and could use improvement. It had potential but left us feeling dissatisfied.

    cleanliness concerns

    I spent a night at a place that had a lovely terrace. From there, I could see a beautiful garden where peacocks roamed freely. It was nice to experience a mix of nature and luxury at the same time.

    The bathroom needed attention. The shower didn't drain well, and the overall cleanliness was not up to par for the price.

    Good breakfast but expensive. Great fitness center

    We expected to have a sauna facility but it was not in operation. This feature should be removed from hotel description on bookings.com when not in operation.
