“Not 4 star more poor star”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 October 2010
2
people found this review helpful

Stayed at this hotel in August this year, through Balkan Holidays, with doubt the worst 4 * hotel we have ever stayed in, food selection was extremely poor, unless you like eggs cooked five different ways for breakfast, the bacon made spains look like best danish! Dinner was no better very little choice and worse was that that due to the daft evening meal times 6 - 8:30 if you went down at normal time say 7:45 chances were that there was not much left. The rooms were ok , but sounds from the many bars at 5am in the morning will keep you awake, I wrote and complained to Balkan Holidays but they've had our cash and are not in the least bit interested. To sum up this hotel is advertised as a 4 * But what Balkan don't tell you is that it is Bulgarian's version of 4*!! the joke among the Brits was I won first prize in the raffle - a week in the Alba second prize was two weeks!

“thoroughly enjoyed”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2010

This was my first time to this hotel and thoroughly enjoyed it. The hotel is slap bang in the middle of the centre which was great for older members of my family who can.t walk for too long and for everyone else who were going out at night and didn't want to walk too far to get back after a few tipples. The hotel is lovely inside. We had apartment rooms which were massive. The bed in the bedroom was the biggest I have ever came across, about the size of 2 double beds, Fab! It also had a pull down double in the lounge area. It was clean enough, The cleaners could have hoovered a bit more as I had a small pile of sand in my room for about a week but beds and towels were changed daily. The reception staff were very pleasant and helpful. The food was fabulous with a great variety each night. Breakfast was the same each day but to me was a great choice. Not enough waiters to serve drinks with dinner but the ones who were there worked hard to keep up. As it is in the centre it could be loud at night if you're a light sleeper which I am but you do get used to it and the windows and doors in room have really good sound proofing. As for sunbathing, there are plenty of sunbeds for everyone. The pool was lovely but really really cold. Ok if you're brave. We all really liked this hotel and are planning to go back same time next year. We have been to sunny beach a few times now and will probably only go to this hotel now as it beats all the others we've been to. Hope this helps x

“CLEAN AND WELL LOCATED”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 September 2010

people found this review helpful

we were going on holiday with friends but booked at the last minute. Our friends had booked into the belle ville but we couldnt get a room there, we ended up in the Hotel Alba. I had read the reviews and wasnt looking forward to it. However, what a lovely surprise we had in store. It is on a main road and some of the reviews had said it was noisy, and at my age I need my sleep. We were pleased to find that our room overlooked the pool, we never heard any noise at night and slept like logs.However I would say that if you were on the land view (i.e on the busy main rd) I am sure you would hear noise there. We didnt eat at the hotel as we wanted to spend as much time with our friends as possible, but on the very last night whilst waiting for coach to take us to the aiport, we decided to go into the restaurant, and to be honest everything looked fine, and what we had was delicious. I would def recommend this hotel, sheets changed every day, and the room we had was immaculat, and very large. Dont be put off the Hotel Alba by the bad reports, we never had a problem, maybe we just arent fussy, but we couldnt find fault it and had a great time.

“Excellent Holiday”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 June 2010
3
people found this review helpful

With both me and my boyfriend being 21, we knew the Alba would be a perfect hotel as its very central in Sunny Beach. Having read a few bad reviews we decided to go with an open mind. With having a late flight we did not arrive at the Alba until 3am. The receptionist was extremely helpful, we were checked in within 5 minutes of arriving and were straight to our room, which was a good size, clean and had a good sized balcony. Having been our first time in Bulgaria we thought the country was beautiful and the hotel staff were really helpful and our maid was brilliant. Overall we would recommend this hotel to anyone, as long as you don't mind a bit of noise, which you expect with the location being so close to everything. The holiday itself was just amazing and a return to Bulgaria and the Alba is a certainty.

“Lovely hotel, shame about location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 June 2010

Saw this hotel being built several years ago and decided to try it this time. Very clean hotel. Maids in every day, even left towels as swans or some other design every day. Staff in reception and bar so friendly, taught us some more bulgarian words. Try learning the language a bit, it gets you a long way. Our room was on top floor with a fantastic beach view. Breakfast was usual hotel fayre - cereals, eggs every which way, fruit, yogurt, some sort of sausage and bacon!!, salads, cakes etc. Passable but had a full english twice to break up the monoteny. Had happy hour on beer twice a day as well as cocktails all day and not expensive considering a 4 star.

Downside was its central location. We have been to Sunny Beach for last 8 years and was so suprised how the 18-30 mob has taken over the centre with its party crews and bar crawls. We love the resort and the locals but wont stay in the centre again as bars playing loud music until 4 in the morning.

We are going back in September but will stay a bit further away from the centre next time.

Love the place and the people though.
