  : Location is great, just next to gondola and ski slopes. If you are staying for at least 7 nights, kids aged 4-9 get free ski school, equipment and ski pass. Rooms are big and cozy.
  : No coffee or tea in the room and they serve bad filter coffee for breakfast, so if you want to have a good coffee in the morning you have to get dressed and have it in the lobby bar (which opens at 7.00) where it is a bit pricey. And if you get up early and like to have your coffee in the bed, that won't happen.Breakfast starts at 8.00 and ski school for kids at 9.00 so you don't have time to get ready for skiing. Also, dinner starts at 19.00 which is too late considering that you finish skiing at 16.00 (or 16.30). Looks like they are trying their best to force you to spend more money on food and drink in the lobby bar.Food is good in general, but for the price there should be a better choice of food, especially meat. Some food is prepared too early (or they use food from previous meal) so it was cold even at the start of breakfast and dinner, and it happened every day.Swimming pool and spa are small for the number of people that come with children afrer skiing. It's usually crowdy untill dinner.I talked to a couple of people who visited this hotel before, and everybody says the hotel got worse, and all the things I've mentioned were as they should be: for 30% less you got breakfast, lunch and dinner (now there's no lunch), breakfast was at 7.30 and dinner at 18.00, food choice was better, etc..Overall impression, it's not worth the money. Hope they'll change something in the future because the impressions of all people I talked to are pretty much the same. On the other hand, there's no better choice if you want to stay on Stara Planina with children and looks like they know it.

  : The location is perfect!
  : You don't feel welcomed. The staff doesn't practice kindness and smiles, not a single staff member smiled during our stay, they were all cold, indifferent and serious all the time. Strange and completely in contrast with the rest of Serbia
