Samakov not quite as nice, a bit more 70's era but would go back. Still central and in a great spot, just not quite the same view as the Rila and lacking a sauna!!

re: Rila and Samokov Hotels

We stayed at the Samakov last year. I haven't stayed at the Rila. The Rila looks a bit smarter. The Samakov is clean and friendly and everything in our room worked. The food wasn't brilliant but there was lots of choice and always something I would eat. We are planning to stay there agian this year.
