Hotel Elena

Good location and excellent restaurant on-premises

Very hard pillows and narrow bed

We had a great stay at Hotel Elena in Veliko Tarnovo. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming — truly one of the highlights of our visit. We arrived late in the evening, and although the restaurant was about to close, they still made us a pizza, which was a very kind gesture. There’s a nice little terrace to relax on, à la carte breakfast in the morning, and smiles all around from the team throughout our stay. There’s also a convenient parking lot right across from the building, and the hotel is within walking distance to the city center. Highly recommended!

Very comfortable and clean. The room was spacious, with a nice terrace as well. Breakfast was pretty decent, and there are lots of parking spaces around. Very calm area at night, and the staff was overall friendly. Good value for money.

It's a bit far from the center (around 30 mins walking). It is very easy to jump from one room to another through the terrace, which made us feel a bit uncomfortable, even more since the terrace door didn't close properly. A/C was a bit noisy.

The hotel room was clean with good WiFi. Good coffee at the breakfast. Hotel staff was helpful.

The single bed in the triple room is uncomfortable, couldn’t get a decent sleep. Breakfast it’s a bad joke, I can’t see how some people find that amazing. How can three mini slices of ham means amazing breakfast? An egg won’t break the budget. Besides the beverages, breakfast it’s not a pleasant experience. I’m aware of the fact that this is more like a transit hotel, but some things could be better done.
