Хотел "Никс" — Hotel in Sevlievo

Niks 4 Star Hotel Restaurant – A Four-Star Enigma in Sevlievo

Sevlievo. A town that, according to Wikipedia, is one of the wealthiest in Bulgaria. A hub of industry. A beacon of economic prosperity. A place where foreign investors pour in their euros like well-meaning relatives at a wedding.

Sevlievo. A town that, according to my own two eyes, looked more like it had just survived a particularly ambitious apocalypse movie.

To be fair, perhaps it was the time of year—the kind of cold that makes buildings hunch over like old men shielding themselves from the wind. Perhaps it was just our timing, catching the town in the awkward twilight between industrious hustle and well-earned rest. But as we drove in from Sofia—a two-and-a-half-hour journey through varying shades of grey—Sevlievo did not quite match its online biography. The streets were eerily quiet, the houses a charming mix of “historically quaint” and “structurally concerning,” and the overall vibe suggested that the town had spent all its wealth on a secret underground bunker that we were not invited to.

But the people—ah, the people! Hardworking, determined, and clearly engaged in pursuits more meaningful than writing sarcastic restaurant reviews on the internet. There was a tangible sense of community, the kind that makes you feel like an outsider until you’ve eaten at least one meal among them.

Which brings us to Niks 4 Star Hotel.

Now, I don’t know who Niks is. And I did not ask. Some mysteries are best left unsolved. What I do know is that this so-called “four-star” establishment promised us a good meal, and after the drive through the Bulgarian tundra, I was more than ready for it.

We stepped into the restaurant and—oh!—what a lovely surprise. The dining area was warm, inviting, and pleasantly full. It had all the hallmarks of a place that took itself seriously, with an air of quiet confidence that said, “Yes, we are four stars. No, we will not be explaining how we got them.” - Read below for the...

Located in the centre at the busy street. The rooms are okey, but our bathroom was not properly arranged. Good breakfast served at cozy restaurant downstairs. The staff friendly, but service slightly slow. Parking on the street, in front if the building, but with limited number...

Hotel Niks was our restaurant of choice while on holiday in Sevlievo, Bulgaria. We have been coming to Hotel Niks for a couple of years now and the standards of service, food and decor is hard to beat.

I’d fully recommend...
