It was overall satisfying. The room was pretty big and bed too. Breakfast is not very good and we were practically kicked out around 10. Other than that it was nice and pool is very nice if you have time.

Good for the few hours we were there

We booked that hotel as we had a super early flight back to the U.K. the next day. The location is perfect with the petrol station next to the hotel to refuel the car, free car park and 10mins drive to return the vehicle at the airport terminal before check-in with Wizzair. So We literally only stayed there less than 10hrs. The room was a bit (a lot) dated but big. The bed was a super king size and very comfy. The bit we found sooooooo weird was the bathroom. It’s the first time in our lives we had a shower without curtains 😅 we tried to be super careful when we took our showers but not easy not to turn the bathroom into a pool 😅 Good thing we only stayed one night. The reception was very nice and offered us a packed breakfast because we couldn’t have it due to our early flight. It was nice to try some of the local pastries. Overall not a bad experience for just a few hours before returning home.

The hotel is very nice but very outdated. I was must upset after travelling a long way to find out I could not used the restruant because there was a wedding party and there was nowhere nearby to get food. Otherwise stay was very good.

A bit outside centrum, but with nice outdoor pool

We choose this hotel because it has an outdoor pool - but unfortunatly it only opened on June 1st, which was our last day there (no mentioning of this in description of hotel). The pool bar wasn't ready to serce either and still you were not allowed to bring own drinks and food to the pool area. But if you are staying after June 1st and want a nice pool then this hotel would be very suitable. However, be aware that the breakfast is horrible - worst we have ever seen (ended up not eating breakfast in the hotel at all) and the hotel is quite far away from any restaurants etc.

Fenster kann man nie offen haben, viel zu laut direkt an der 6-spurigen Hauptstraße, tag und nacht. Bett war sauber, in 9 Tagen 2x richtig gemacht. In der Dusche ist Seife von vorgänger geblieben. Außenpool super, sauber, viele Liegen und Sonnenschirme, Wasser sehr sauber, nette Kiosk mit Eis, Getränken und Snacks. Restaurantgarten super im Schatten unter der Bäumen. Frühstück reichhaltig, viel Auswahl, für jeden was dabei. Personal spricht leider nur englisch und bulgarisch. Keine wechselstube im Hotel.
