Was part of a group traveling bulgaria. Excellent hotel and facility. It is in the center so not for beach goers.

I stayed 2 nights at this hotel. In order not to repeat information already given in previous reviews let me add:
- Lobby is small
- Free internet in business center (1st floor, 1 computer)
- Very nice room for non-smokers (8th floor, facing cathedral)
- No tourist brochures with city map (out of them)
- Tasty breakfast (just OK)

I have spent several days in Golden Tulip Varna in the end of August 2010. It is a relatively new 4-star-hotel with 85 rooms and 5 apartments - built in 2003 and was formerly known as Business Hotel Varna (before joining the Golden Tulip chain in the beginning of 2006). The hotel has a great location - it is situated in the city center, several minutes way walking from the pedestrian zone and the famous cathedral of Varna. The rooms are cosy and clean, the staff is very professional, friendly and responsive, it has nice conference facilities with 3 halls (for 25, 55 and 120 people). The reception price per room is about 80 Euro (I strongly advise you to do the booking online or through a travelling agency - it would be significantly lower!) and includes also a breakfast (tasty, but lacking variety), free parking and free WiFi Internet access in the entire hotel. You are given a 10% discount coupon for the hotel restaurant and the mini bar once you check in. In general this is one of the best hotels in Varna, there are only two things that I have found strange or dislike -the parking is quite strange though and not very big enough for such a hotel (you are allowed to park in front of the hotel only for check-in and check-out), the other thing that I didn't like is that I haven't been awared my OK Plus frequent flyer miles as it has been advertised on their site, because I haven't paid at the reception, but by bank transfer...

I felt the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and comfortable. When I asked for information about Varna, the reception staff pulled out a complimentary map and showed us routes and checked local bus information for us. There is a business complex on the first floor with free internet use - just ask to use it.
