Kashmir Wellness & Spa Hotel Adults Only

"Dear future guests of Hotel "Kashmir", Velingrad! With the best of feelings, I would like to warn you about the following: If you are traveling to the hotel with a teenager who on the way to Velingrad had the misfortune of losing or having his card stolen, you have no right to go to the trouble of getting to the hotel. He will definitely show you the way out, because your teenager does not have an ID card, and he cannot prove that he is over the required age of 14 /the hotel is adults only, so there is nothing wrong with it/, never mind that the young man in question is 2m tall, weighs two times his mother's and his chest is twice the size of his father's. But, madam the manager at the reception is iron! If the young man in question cannot prove that he has reached the coveted 14 years, he should go where he came from, and it doesn't matter if you come from 200 or 1200 km. Sympathy and willingness to help is NONE! Madam I merely turn my back on you, and go to her chambers / i.e. the little room next to reception/, proud and pleased with a job well done to offend and drive away the already worried guests. The case was solved after luckily we found a copy of the card in his phone / God bless technology/, and it finally became clear that the young gentleman is 17 years old. By coincidence we are in this hotel and will not repeat."

Balneo Complex & Spa Aquatonik

"Very disappointing stay. The staff were extremely rude and unprofessional from the moment we arrived, making us feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. Any questions or requests were met with attitude instead of help. On top of that, the food was very poor quality — bland, poorly prepared, and nowhere near what you’d expect from a hotel. Overall, the experience was frustrating and unpleasant, and I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. I definitely won’t be returning."

Santé Spa Hotel

"A wonderful hotel in a quiet and peaceful place. Kind staff, cleanliness at an extremely high level, delicious and varied food every day. The pools and SPA are excellent. Everything is done with the convenience and comfort of the guests in mind. Highly recommend!"

Two Room Apartment With Thermal Zone

Spa Hotel Elbrus

"I had made a reservation for 3 adults and yet they accommodated us in a small room even for 2 adults. The bathroom was tiny. You had to get on the toilet seat to take a shower. The food was not good and very uniform. The second day of our stay they started renovating the pool without informing us so we couldn't use it.

Grand Hotel Velingrad

"We have come back for a second year and unfortunately there’s been an overwhelming deterioration in the service this hotel offers. It boasts 5 stars but actually corresponds more to 3. Below is just a short explanation of the significant issues, which a 5 star hotel should not have. Before I start, I’m just going to mention how wonderful their spa service and facilities are - they made our stay worth it despite all the below issues. - [ ] Staff members at reception are just not present at their desk - they all sit in a room just behind reception and peek through if you happen to be around and shout “Hello”. Not a good first impression. Check in was quick but we were not offered to be taken to our room or asked if we need help with our luggage. Not a smile in sight when we were checking out. - housekeeping is inconsistent - room cleaning is just basic sheets being fixed and towels changed, the bathroom is not wiped, sink not cleaned, no replenishment of body wash throughout our 4 day stay. We were not offered complimentary bottles of water as we should have been. - issues in the room e.g soap dispenser not working (and cleaners warning us that it doesn’t work rather than asking somebody to fix it), no tissues (when we asked for some they told us they’re only reserved for guests on floor 4?), tv remote does not work and no one came to fix it until we wrote an email to management (more on this later). - Staff members by the pool (including lifeguard) are very much preoccupied with their phones rather than paying attention to customers - us and another family had to wave for 10mins+ at them to come and take our orders; when ordering drinks they just seem totally uninterested and partially annoyed at having to serve drinks. To a point where I felt like apologising for having ordered a coffee. Drinks are overpriced. - The buffet for dinner doesn’t have enough labels on foods - especially the dessert section. It just says “desserts” with about 7 options to eat. When we asked a waiter for more information on the food he said he doesn’t know and “even if I wanted I can’t learn them because they’re so many”. Ridiculous answer. He seemed inclined to argue with us rather than apologise for the lack of appropriate labelling. If you happen to have an intolerance or worse, a severe allergy - forget about informed food choices at this hotel. - The lobby bar has a very limited selection of drinks (which is fine) but when we asked for Ouzo we were told only the restaurant serves it, and they can make an exception only on this occasion for us to go and get it ourselves from the restaurant - totally unacceptable for a 5 star hotel. After sending an email with our comments to the management during our stay, management was helpful, met with us, and responded to most of our comments. Nevertheless we are really not going to go back - it’s a shocking service. This is unfortunate as the hotel really does offer wonderful facilities (even though they are slightly unkept)."
