Hotel berhampiran Градински Център и разсадник - SUNDAY, Varna

Grand Hotel London is a gem, but a gem that needs polishing, and one which needs supporting if it is to complete a successful comeback after the pandemic. The building is a Belle Epoque triumph, the bar, the rooms have to be seen to be believed. We had a splendid suite overlooking the square (#1) which was wonderful to stay in. The bathroom was modern and entirely satisfactory. Staff were very helpful during our stay, and we found the breakfast quite adequate ( though it required passing downstairs to the lobby and then up to the breakfast room) The bar was architecturally magnificent, but almost always empty, and the restaurant hasn't reopened for evening meals. The location is very convenient for the beach, museums and galleries and the Railway station. One final point; there is a large tree immediately outside the hotel which needs radical pruning to improve the view into and out of the hotel.

We stayed for 5 nights and our first impressions of the hotel were great. The lady on reception was friendly and professional and we were asked if we wanted help with our luggage. We had booked a deluxe double and it was on the 8th floor. The first thing that wowed us was the view !! It was stunning. Spectacular views over the Sea Garden and Tge Black Sea. We were impressed with the size of the room. The bathroom had a bath and a separate walk in shower. There was plenty of storage in the walk in wardrobe. There were robes and slippers and a range of tea and coffee. We didn't use the mini bar but it had a good range of products. We did get a bottle of water replenished each day. My daughter and I used the swimming pool most days which we enjoyed. Breakfast was good although I'd have liked the option of breakfast cereal but even without there was enough choice. The location was perfect, right opposite the Sea Garden and only a short walk into the centre of the city. Overall we throughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend and would stay there again.

Das Hotel ist sehr günstig und die Duschen sind schön kräftig und schnell warm, was nicht überall in Bulgarien der Fall war. Auch die Minibar im Zimmer hat diverse Snacks, wenn man spät ankommt und nichts mehr offem hat ist das super. Leider endet die gute Bewertung hiermit. Das Zimmer und das ganze Hotel ist extrem veraltet. Das schlimmste war der starke Gestank nach abgestandenem Rauch im Zimmer. Ich bin selbst auch Raucherin, aber dieser Geruch im Schlafzimmer geht gar nicht. Der Fussboden war zudem sehr klebrig, fast wie in einem Club. Die Gegend ist eher verlassen, ich kam u. ca. 21:30 an und es gibt nirgends einen Laden oder ein Restaurant. Ich habe 2 Nächte gebucht, bin aber nach 1 Nacht in ein nur wenig teureres Hotel näher am Stadtzentrum, welches hervorragend ist. Wenn einen den Rauchgeruch nicht stört und für eine Nacht ist es okay, aber ich bezahle lieber CHF 20.- mehr und habe dafür eine freundlichere, angenehmere Unterkunft.

From the receptionist to my room - 10/10. Stay nice with them ＜3

A BAD BAD EXPERIENCE - NEVER GO BACK HERE Let's start in chronological order: you arrive at the hotel, but you need to be careful because there are many options that the GPS provides you (here I was lucky that a friend who was already staying at the hotel shared their location from the parking lot near the reception), paid parking where you need to take a parking ticket that needs to be validated at checkout to avoid charges (I don't know what to do if you want to drive around nearby places, maybe you can validate it every time you go to the reception, but I'm skeptical that it would work); the first interaction with the reception staff follows (they are a bit awkward in communicating in English, but we somehow understand each other), there is no bellboy or person to help you with your luggage as you typically see in 5-star hotels, not that I needed one (I did see someone later in the corridors, but they didn't do anything, and also another guest carrying their luggage on their own rollbox - ridiculous). After a normal wait, I finally receive the room and to my surprise, even though I paid for a sea view, I get a room on the ground floor with a view of the bar terrace and the access stairs (I mention that there are Astor Garden Villas between the hotel and the sea that block the view); I return to the reception where the staff is aggressive in their language, and they tell me that you can see the sea... I manage to convince them to come with me to the room and they show me that you can actually see a small portion of the sea if you make an effort... with frustration, I manage to persuade them to give us another room... which turns out to be on the first floor where I can see a bit more of the sea (although Astor Garden Villas are still quite visible)... I give up and accept the room that was given to me (I regret it now because later, being above the restaurant, the noise was terrible - tourists dragging metal chairs early in the morning or employees throwing dishes and cutlery as if they wanted to break them - they did this throughout the day in the restaurant or outside); Spacious room, new furniture, clean (when I received the room), after that I was constantly chasing the housekeepers to clean or change towels and replenish shampoo, toilet paper, drinking water, etc.; I asked for cleaning on the second-to-last day of stay and was told they would finish tomorrow and couldn't do it - another drawback), large bathroom with a shower cabin and a bathtub (the bathtub doesn't have a shower head) and when you shower, water splashes everywhere in the bathroom, making it very slippery; I also wish the carpet wasn't so rough when you step on it barefoot; ATTENTION!! There's a minibar in the room, but everything inside is chargeable, so maybe make a small inventory when you enter to avoid paying for things you didn't consume, the air conditioning in the room, as well as in the hotel, seems to be working with the brakes on, it doesn't cool enough, and i

We stayed at Umani for 4nights in august and we were really impressed by the whole concept. The room we booked was pool side and it's a very spacious one. Balcony as well. Towels were so fluffy and the bed so comfortable and large. Everyone was so kind and smiled all the time, very welcomy and warm people. Food is a la carte and it varies, lots of options. Waiters are so nice and Ivan is the best! The pool was heated and clean. The beach was close 5-10min walk and there is a small bar there with friendly bartenders. When at the hotel i recommend eating at Danton Fish restaurant, close to the hotel, it's a hidden gem!

The hotel is very central, looks nice from the outside & foyer, and the room was a good size & kept clean. That’s where the good stuff ends! The first morning we were woken up by the cleaner banging on the door for room service at 0830!!! We put the do not disturb sign on after that but they shouldn’t be there at 0830. The pool area looks nice but the whole time there is banging music playing so not relaxing. The lifts are few and small so you routinely have to wait ages for a lift. The real let down was the food. The restaurant caters for Middle Eastern guests who must like their food cold - Everything was cold! Breakfast was especially bad - cold eggs, pancakes, omelettes, the list goes on! Even to get toast was a challenge - 2 toasters were so low powered it generally took 4 passes to get bread looking brown! Each morning I left breakfast angry and still hungry. The hotel clientele is predominantly from the Middle East which I have no problem with, but if the hotel, supposedly a 5 Star hotel, are unable to provide hot, even warm, food then I would advise any British tourists to stay away
