this is not the ritz, but it is a clean, friendly, welcoming, attractive place near to the river and walkable easily to the bus station and train station. and near to the river so one can walk along the river to the restaurants along there to eat dinner in and up to the castle. vidin is a small town so all is in walking distance.||the reception folks are very kind and a bit weak on the english but do their best. if you have any complilcated questions about vidin you can go across the street to the high rise hotel and ask the reception there. the room was more lux than i expected, and the bathroom was fine, and yes it is that european variety with the shower just a part of it but that is no big deal. breakfast was ok, and i had a bit of dinner there and it was ok. they have the tv on in the bar and my room was just above it so i told them to turn off the tv at 10pm and THEY DID. very nice folks and a great money saver of a charming little hotel. i would stay thee again. it is NOT far from...
Read moreParking: There are free parking spaces near the hotel. Room: It was clean, the beds were comfortable and the AC heating worked fine. Also the TV was working. It was decently spaced.

Read moreI stayed here for one night on a cycling trip. We could leave our bikes in the back yard of the hotel. The staff was friendly, one receptionist phoned his daughter on the cell phone so she could translate since he did not speak english. The room was clean, quite modern, average sized, had a TV, free Wi-Fi reception was good. We had an 'interesting' bathroom, there was nothing that divided the shower from the rest of the room. Depending on how careful you are everything in the room will get wet (see photo). Breakfast is served from 07:30 - 09:30 and is ok, you get one plate with bread, an egg, some veggies, cheese, meat and jam.
