I stayed here with my Sister, Mum, Dad, Grandad and Grandma and it was a week of luxury for all. Rooms cleaned everyday, clean bedding everyday and mostly clean towels everyday. Staff were very kind and food for breakfast was nearly a full english everyday, variety of cereal, yoghurt and more. when i walked in it took mine and my... More

typical Socialist times hotel. Bad rooms, bad dining area, terrible service, everything dark and grandiose looking but actually quite outdated. The pools are OK and the park around the outside pool as well. The hotel though is 200-300 meters away from the sea itself where the beach is quite crowded. I travelled in 2009 or 2010 (can't even remember exactly... More

My wife and I visited this hotel with my Son and Daughter in Law and Grandson in August, on a package holiday with Balkan Holidays. As some of the other reviewers have already stated, the hotel its self is ok, but cannot be compared with either 4 or 5 star hotels in Europe. The food varied in quality, but never... More

Very old place... looks like it used to be something... special.... and unique... but very outdated,... poor service... no value at all! Good location though!

I don't usually write reviews after a holiday, but after reading all the bad reviews about the GHV I felt the need to, because i couldn't disagree with them more. I think for a start you shouldn't expect a five star hotel in Bulgaria to be the same as a five star in England or America. And as for value... More

On searching various sites to find out about the GHV I was expecting a casino, bowling alley, several bars, entertainment each night and generally a typical 5* hotel, The elite…. NOT SO. No casino, no bowling alley, ….read on. To be fair before you read my onslaught of this hotel I did speak to people who had been several years... More

I stayed for 8 nights in a room on the southern side of the hotel at an upper floor in early September 2011. It was a "Premium all inclusive" ticket. Good things: Almost all of them can be noticed on the hotel's internet site. - Large and nice garden, large pool with sun beds, bar, etc. - Large rooms, they... More

Hotel Grand Varna is not grand. It looks like a multiple storey car park and just as bleak inside. We met two nice members of staff Tordor on bar duty in the loby and our room attendent. The rest of the staff could not care less. The hotel guest list was dominated by Russions and Rumanians and they were always... More

All considered it was a very lovely holiday, the sun, surroundings and the Bulgarian locals were so happy and hospitable. I am an English female traveling with my 9 yr old daughter, I found it frustrating at the bar, being ignored and made to wait for familiar speaking to be served first, not just in the evening, but at the...
