Too expensive for what you get...

The location is nice, you can park your car in front, and the fire pit is really nice! It has a really nice restaurant right next to the hotel.

A little bit of paradise - for me

Located a bit up from the main restaurant area, so it's peaceful in the evening. Had dinner on the terrace, listening to the nightingales and eating the best mish-mash ever. Good homemade rakia and wine, too. Bedroom was comfortable and the buffet breakfast was nice. (Repeat visit. Visited at the end of May.)

Old, but with an honest breakfast

The city is very charming and don´t offer many choices for hotels. This one was old, but also a little bit rustic, considering the city atmosphere. The breakfast, even though without many choices was very tastefull.

It was a nice, cool place to stay out of the heat of the summer. The room was lovely (junior suite), and had so many beautiful windows to look out upon the street, gardens and hills - and in particular, the birds dancing through the warm air at dusk. We like the location at the top of the street as it was a bit removed from the main section (very close walk) and quiet. Parking was simple & easily available in this location. The lady at reception was so welcoming and kind! A breath of fresh air since we found friendliness can be a bit hard to find here.

The unassuming hospitable lady who seems to work day and night made us feel welcome and cared for. Our room was comfortable and the hotel was well located in this little village. The food in the restaurant was delicious.

Perfect location and delicious food

Despot Slav is very climatic place perfectly located between Wine Museum and Kordopulov's House. Rooms are clean and cozy. The real highlight of our stay was restaurant with delicious food and wine. We spend our evenings sitting on the restaurant's balcony and enjoying beautiful view.

Pleasant hotel with everything you need.

Nice comfortable room with everything you need for a short stay, comfortable bed, hot water in the shower, a kettle and good Wi-Fi signal. It is within walking distance of everything and breakfast included was a bonus.
