Hotel Andon Angelov — Hotel in Sandanski

The "Kingdom" of the "Guardians of the underworld" As soon as you approach the entrance of the hotel you are greeted by the Sef and Tuau (the mitical guardians of the underworld)! The restaurant is literally invaded by 30 cats of different sizes and ages that makes you feel like preparing to meet Anubis for the final trip! Eating breakfast or dinner is an ultimate experience of the fusion of the post-communist Bulgaria with the ancient Egypt of Koufu where the guardians of the underworld were spread everywhere! To make the atmosphere much more authentic, the food and drinks are served by a totally wasted waiter after he pets several cats! Eating is a real struggle cuz every second one of the beasts that are under the table, under the chair, in the brushes, etc is trying to grab your stuff!!! Definitely is the ultimate experience, but for sure you need to stay away from the restaurant! The "guardians of the underworld" are sleeping on the chairs, on the tables, on the benches, and I assume they are roaming free through the kitchen too! Eating there is a matter of public health hazard!!! I cannot imagine what kind of public health rules and regulations they have in Bulgaristan, but they are poorer than those of Antique Egypt! The hotel rooms are not great, not terrible, but only for one night! There is no elevator, so better ask for the first floor! The roads from the highway to the city center remind me of rural Albania in the sixties! If you need a place to sleep over, better avoid the rural Albania landscape of Sandanski! If you travel for many hours, and wish to avoid getting poisoned 🤢 with contaminated food, pack your sandwich 🥪 on your own terms and conditions! Don't rely on...

The rooms are simple but comfortable. Unfortunately, there was a noticeable smell of tobacco in our room, which was disappointing. The breakfast, while sufficient, was too basic and could definitely be improved. For instance, the juice ran out, and no effort was made to replenish it, which, combined with its low quality, left a poor impression.

The cleanliness of the restaurant also left something to be desired, as it didn’t feel well-maintained. The style is very old, we are not in 90s(

However, the staff were polite and attentive, and there’s nothing negative to say about their service.

Overall, the hotel is good and has great potential. However, the management should prioritize cleanliness and enhancing the breakfast experience rather than focusing on details like hanging the flags of the USA and other countries (showing their political view). Attention to these aspects would make a significant difference in the overall...
