“A little smokey”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

I stayed at this hotel for the New Year celebrations December 2011, having stayed there for the same period the year before. The hotel is spacious and the suite I occupied was well equipped but shabby and some defects from the previous year still hadn't been repaired. It was however clean and this was well maintained during my stay.
I was disappointed to discover that they allowed smoking in the breakfast dining area. I can't remember this previously but noticed that, generally, they are very lax in allowing smoking in public eating areas.
On the whole, the staff are very attentive and pleasant.
The bar is well equipped with an inviting atmosphere, if not a little dated. They don't serve cocktails!

“Not like the photos!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 December 2011
2
people found this review helpful

My Husband and I stayed here for one night on a business trip. Although the conference room photos are correct, our room in NO WAY resembled the other photos that are shown here. Perhaps we missed some way of choosing a refurbished room? If you are booking there, definitely ask this question. We have found that some Bulgarian hotels are in the process of refurbishment so you can pay a little more for a new room. We definitely got an old room! The service is fine, but totally uninspired. We asked for nothing out of the ordinary, so didn't have much experience of this. Overall, this hotel is nothing special at all. The room was depressing and old and the bed was very uncomfortable. The view is amazing though and the location in the centre of Bourgas is excellent.
Also beware - if you use the lobby toilet - I think it is actually the toilet to the Happy restaurant and although there are no signs, you are required to pay! The female toilet attendant chased me into the lobby demanding money from me (sadly I didn't have my bag with me, so she was not in luck).
Overall - this is NOT a place to stay for a delightful experience. Stay here if you have to. otherwise, definitely go somewhere else.

Dear guest,

Thank you for choosing hotel Bulgaria for your stay in Burgas and for reviewing our hotel. I am so sorry that you left with the feeling of disappointment !

I would just reccommend to you, next time you come to Hotel Bulgaria and you find difference between the photos and the room that you are checked in just ask at the reception desk to have the same room as the one from the photos. I can assure you there will be no problem for that.

Still, if you have seen the pictures of one our Presidential suites or one of the deluxe suites you cannot get them at the price of a double room.

I hope to see you again as our guest.

Kind regards,
Kiril Valkanov
Marketing manager

Dear NadiaVarna,

Thank you very much for choosing hotel Bulgaria for your stay in Burgas. We are glad that you liked our hotel and we hope that you really enjoyed your stay !

Please be advised that all of our rooms are renovated, so next time you choose your floor, you may chhose upon see view or town view rather than higher or lower floor. Of coarse the view from i higher floor is much more picturesque and attractive. :)))

We hope to see you as our guest soon again.

Room was nice, bed was big, shower warm but the curtain flies in on you. Maid service was regular. The front desk ladies are horrendous. They alone will stop me from returning, the really are that rude. Refuse to give directions and to check me out. Upon leaving I was actually ask why I picked that time to leave as she had work to do.

Dear Lissaford,

Thank you very much for choosing hotel Bulgaria for your stay in Burgas and also thank you for the feedback. We appreciate all the feedback that we receive from our guests in order to improve even more the services that we provide to them.

I am sorry you got disappointed from our reception desk staff. It would be good if you asked for a manager and make a complaint right away, so that we could sort out the problem and take immediate and appropriate action.

Our reception desk staff have always been polite and are the team that usually gets the best customer reviews. That is why I am supprised from the services that you got.

I sincerely hope that you are going to choose hotel Bulgaria for your next stay in Burgas as well. We would definitely provide better servise to you.

Kind regards,

“Good value, excellent location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 October 2010

We chose Hotel Bulgaria as a cheaper option to the Grand Hotel Pomoritz, for a stay during the fantastic Spirit of Burgas festival. Room was very clean, air-conditioning worked fine, staff were friendly enough. I would suggest to people who complain about the staff (anywhere) being gruff to try a few words in the local language (hello, thank you , please)..the small effort makes a huge difference. The air-conditioning in the lobby and bar wasn't very good, but that seemed to be the norm in Burgas. We had a room on the 10th floor with a fabulous view. Great location, lots of cafes nearby, and within walking distance of the train station. Warning that the pool was not open during our stay, which was quite annoying as part of the reason we chose it was for the pool, but we managed. Otherwise, recommended place to stay.

Dear Sir/Madam

We are glad you were satisfied with your stay in hotel Bulgaria and with our services. At the period you have stayed at the hotel the swimming pool was in a current repair which we could have not planned in advance.

Now the swimming pool is opened again so be welcome :)

Kind regards,
