I have stayed at Gurko twice and I love the location, overlooking the beautiful valley. Get a room at the top, with a/c and just enjoy! The Mehana on the bottom floor has great food and nice ambiance. I thoroughly recommend this place! more

Recommended by a work collogue this hotel is nicely situated clean, reasonably modern with helpful cheerful staff. They were very efficient and did their best despite a lack of English and specifically my lack of Bulgarian! Even a parking place was provided in their own garage, had this facility not been provided this would have been a nightmare as the... more

A comfortable, clean hotel in a quiet location with good views. The staff were friendly and helpful, although their English is rather limited. The location is, however, not the most convenient for the town's sights and restaurants. (It is also quite difficult to find, at least if you rely on the highly inaccurate map in the Rough Guide.) The quality... more

We stayed in the Hotel Gurko as part of a private tour of Bulgaria. It was wonderful in ALL respects. We also had a great dinner in the restaurant. more

This is a fantastic hotel. I have stayed here probably twice every year for the last six years whilst visiting family in the area and i wouldn't consider staying anywhere else in Turnovo. The owner is approachable and takes pride in her family business. The location is on a quiet cobbled street with a beautiful gorge across the street which... more

Hotel Gurko was the best hotel we stayed in while we were in Bulgaria. When we arrived we were greeted in the street by name, and our luggage was immediately taken to our room. My husband, son and I were completely impressed with everything regarding this hotel. We were in the apartment Room N11. It was beautiful, spotlessly clean, with... more

Hotel Gurko is without a doubt the place to stay when you're visiting Veliko Turnovo. The location-- on a quiet, historic cobblestoned street overlooking the valley-- is absolutely perfect, although the rooms, while large and comfortable, are not nearly as atmospheric. The inside of the building looks entirely new and my impression of the rooms is that they were a... more

We stayed at Hotel Gurko in May 2008. Everything about this hotel was wonderful. The rooms were immaculately clean with a modern bathroom and quaint furnishings. This hotel is a beautiful traditional historic building, with all the modern conveniences for comfort. It is small and gives one the feeling of staying at the home of a good friend. There is... more

We stayed as a family group in early June 2008 (we booked eight rooms). From the moment we booked the rooms we received regular e-mails about our rooms, including just before we left for our trip. We had gone to Veliko Tarnovo for our son's wedding. With this in mind we were treated by the owner and her staff as... more
