Хареса ми локацията, и това че има осигурен паркинг /безплатен/, ботаническата градина, спокойствието и тишината.

Няма разнообразие при храната, но хората се стараят и винаги кма какво да си вземеш.

Ruhig, Strandnähe, sehr altes Hotel

4.0

Es war ruhig und in Strandnähe

Alles alt. Bei den Matratzen spürt man die Metalldrähte. Der Kühlschrank wird über zugeschraubtes Gefrierfach gekühlt. Das Essen mag für bulgarische Verhältnisse gut sein, aber nichts für europäisches Niveau. Wir waren gezwungen auswärts zu essen.

Personalul, ok.

Am ajuns tarziu, si am fost socata. Cladirea o ruina pe exterior, aleile din curte la fel. Nici in interior, cladirea, nu e altfel, desi te intampina in holul de la intrare o expozitie - picturi ale unui pictor local, menita probabil sa infrumuseteze locul. Am avut mic dejun si cina. Micul dejun saracacios, intr-o sala de mese ponosita si urat mirositoare. La cina preparate ciudate cu miros greu de suportat, nimic comestibil. Gradina, Gradina Botanica de fapt, doar pe alocuri îngrijită, cu bănci vechi si neprietenoase, înconjurată de un gard vechi, ruginit care a supraviețuit vremii la fel ca si hotelul. Vedere la mare? In depărtare, printre copaci. Ieșire la mare? Nu. La marginea gardului care separa faleza de mare sunt resturi vegetale depozitate si gunoaie. Nu am avut curaj sa parcurg aleile grădinii. Am stat două nopți. Dacă pozele de pe Booking erau reale nu as fi ales niciodată această locație!

От няколко години отсядам в хотела. Доволна съм от местоположението, спокойствието, храната, чистотата и отношението на хората. Бих отишла отново.

Тази година водата в басейна беше мътна и студена.

Comportamentul personalului din restaurant.

Camera primită se află la ultimul etaj, clima nu funcționa, era foarte cald. Domnișoara de la recepție nu dorea să ne schimbe camera, spunând ca celelalte camere sunt la alt preț. În momentul în care am spus cat trebuie să punem în plus a spus ca vorbește cu șeful, atunci am primit o altă cameră la etaj 2 și nu am plătit nimic în plus.
