Hotel berhampiran Паметник на граничаря, Varna

Disappointing. Definately not a four star. This hotel is so overrated and overprized. There are other hotels close by giving better value for money. On the positive side there is a nice reception area. And the bed is quite comfortable. The view is overlooking a crossroad. On the other side the hotel is old and worn. In the room there are no sockets near the bed. AC is central govern. Not possible adjusting temperature in the room. I left it on max cold for 24 hrs. No difference. It’s just a fan blowing. The hotel is located in the street. You get a lot of traffic noise from the crossroad outside. Furthermore curtains are not lightproof. You wake up at 6am by sunrise. And then there is breakfast. Breakfast is the worst I had in ages. Simple, cheap and a complete mess. They are trying, but definately struggling. Cheap, greasy low quality products . In addition they deny to refill after 9.30 and turn off the lights 10.05 while guests still are eating. Breakfastroom is crowded, lacking tables. Staff is hostile passive aggressive and shows horrendous behavior. But coffee was ok! Under the surface they really need to improve their quality. I am glad I only stayed two nights.

- Overall the Hotel is newly built, the exterior looks really appealing, interior of the hotel and the rooms are kept very clean. - The food is very good, fresh. Just a small thing I’d like to mention, on the first day of our stay, there were not many people in the restaurant, but the food (salad, appetizer, main, desert) were excellent. But on the other days, where more people were in the restaurant, the quality of the food went down a little bit, most probably because of the rush, but still it was very good. - “Sea Salt Restaurant”, the one which is in the hotel, once again, the quality and price ratio is excellent. If you are comming from a richer country, the prices in the restaurant and the food which is served is really great. We could not havr found a better restaurant in Golden Sands, which has really good prices, and the excellent quality of the food (tip: I highly recommend getting the Half Board or All Inclusive) - Staff is very friendly, expect for one waiter, who probably is the administrator of other waiters, he wasn’t friendly with us, most probably because we were as a young couple. For instance, we came to the dinner, and he saw us, but did not let us to a table, while an older couple came in and he let them to the table and served them. In other days, he was the same during breakfast and dinner times. But all the other waiters were very friendly and chatty. - A heated pool is outside the hotel with sunbeds. It is not big, but it works because the hotel is not big as other hotels in Golden Sands. - View to the sea is amazing (I recommend getting the room with Sea View on the 4th floor, trust me, it is worth the extra money) - Cleaning lady was cleaning rooms every day. - Beds were very comfy, but the pillow was a little too thin. - Balcony was quiet big. - Overall the hotel is in a calmer place, but there was an ongoing construction in front of the hotel, but they were working only during the day - The distance to all the clubs, restaurants and the overall fun is about 20 minutes. - All in all, we were satisfied with the hotel and if you are planning on visiting the Varna and would like to have more peace and calmness during your stay, choose this hotel.

We had a great time here although there was a few blips at first. The blips we had was when we arrived, our room bins hadn't been emptied, but were done so immediately after we informed reception. The cleaning of the rooms seems to be a bit erratic and we nearly ran out of toilet paper, but this was easily sorted by asking the cleaners for some. We thought the facilities were great ie the gym right opposite the dining room, and the sauna and steam room right opposite the swimming pool. Getting a sunbed was never a problem, the staff were generous with the drinks on the all- inclusive deal, and also very friendly. Generally the food is good, especially the fresh fruit, vegetables and the pork and lamb dishes, as well as the white cheese, pastries and rye bread at breakfast time. A nice final touch was when the management informed us we could keep our room till we wanted to leave as a complimentary gesture, which made a great difference. We'd definitely return.

A hotel of 50/50 opinion. But i wont choose it again. The reception staff is kind. No objection. No free parking at the hotel and even so it is small and we had to search to park in other place. Every parking lot is of 20leva/day. If you park somewhere outside a parking lot, wont pass several minutes and your car will be evacuated, 50eu and you can have your car back)) so dont risk. The pool, didnt like it. The water is clean but the rest is dirty and old. The hotel is really old fashioned, good rooms are those that look at the beach and pool. Be sure when you make reservation so the room is with balcony. The restaurant: it is mentioned that is 3 star (even the hotel is 4star) but i could give only 2 stars here. I am not a picky person but i never saw such a dirty restaurant. Always food on the floor and nobody cleans it, the tables dirty and sticky. The plates are dirty, the food is not tasty at all, i could eat only that dish that cant be messed up))) eggs, spagetti)) in the morning is totally everything the same, only the sweets are changing sometimes. From fruits in the morning: oranges and grapefruits. Evening: plums, peach, once grapes. From meat i could eat only chicken. So the restaurant per general is awful. Sorry but thats true. The room was ok. Nothing special. The only good thing of this hotel is the location, first line, not in the center where is very noisy but in 5min you can walk to the center.
