I loved my stay. The room had a balcony looking towards the sea. The air-conditioner in the room worked very well and was very quiet. The bathroom had hooks and racks for towels, so it was very convenient. The food was abundant and very tasty - Bulgaria cuisine mainly, and varied, too.

the lifts did not work properly, in that the call button did not register the call each time. from the 11 th floor, so I had to go down the stairs to the 10th floor to catch the lift.

Wonderful little town with tones of trees and flowers (it's like the town in located in a big park on the sea side), beautiful architecture, the bays and the sea are amazing. Small sea water, perfectly clean, no rocks. Lovely old church of Saints Constantin and Elena is a small, peaceful place, wonderfully preserved. Hotel is very close to the sea (3-5 minutes walk), close to downtown and to good stores for groceries / gifts, nice coffee places and restaurants (7-10 minutes walk). We were pleasantly surprised to find many vegan and raw vegan choices in local stores and restaurants. The hotel is old (like, from communism age old and it has the characteristic style and look) but in good condition. We had sea view, which was gorgeous. Staff was always very friendly and very helpful. The food was great, home cooked style, good variety, everything very fresh, plenty of meat / vegetarians choices. Cleaning was decent (not spotless, but decent - the bathroom was very clean and this is what we're most interested in when it comes to cleaning. For us, some spider nets here and there won't kill our vacation vibe :) The indoor pool was wonderful. We chose this hotel for the mineral water pool and we were not disappointed. 30-32 degrees water temperature, we spent at least one hour a day swimming in the pool. Swimming in the mineral water really did wonders for our bodies :) we are young but working on the computer 10 hours a day has it's price in back and leg pain :) so the pool was absolutely perfect for these issues. Wi-fi was decent, we could even watch some Netflix on the laptop (with breaks from time to time, but still ok) The hotel is not a luxury or fancy place. The town doesn't offer night cubs or such "modern" activities. So if you are looking for this, it probably won't be your cup of tea. Our vacation purpose was to swim as much as possible, to rest, to walk in nice places, to eat :) and to escape from the city.

The mattress were not good at all, nor the pillows. I will bring my topper and my own pillow next time :) TV was pretty old and only featured some Bulgarian channels (most of them doubled in Bulgarian language). We knew this is a big possibility so we brought our Netflix and watched a few movies that we didn't have time to watch back home :) Some WiFi ups and downs, so if you have to work (or watch movies) have your own data connection as a backup. We didn't need it much, but if was useful to have it.

Frühstück und Abendessen waren sehr gut! Ich bin sehr zufrieden! Besonders am Abend war mehrere Gerichte wie Nudel,Fleisch,Salate,Obst,Getränke gewesen.
