I’ve been visiting this hotel every year for the past 10 years and always considered it the best option in Sozopol – great location, close to town, and just a quick taxi ride to the trendy beach clubs. Unfortunately, this year I got an “upgrade” of a different kind. By booking through Expedia, I ended up with a tiny room and a view hardly worth looking at. Apparently, lower price = lower quality, and a decade of loyalty means absolutely nothing here. Too bad – I used to recommend this hotel to friends… now I’ll have to think twice myself.

The bedroom air conditioning did not work. Both televisions did not work. The toilet smelled of cigarrette smoke even after air freshener. They allowed a dog to swim in the pool. The breakfast buffet person was rude, unhelpful and charged for (1) coffee, which was reversed by the front manager, but left us with negative feelings. This was highly rated and more costly, but not worth it. We extensively travel Europe and Bulgaria, but this was such a disappointment.

Lovely hotel. Unfortunately they changed the air conditioning for heating the day we arrived which was totally unnecessary. It was incredibly hot during the night. Also we received an unscheduled guest at 10pm - the bellboy entered the room without knocking as he went to the wrong room. Was not impressed!

I recently stayed at this charming boutique hotel and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The hotel itself is small, but beautifully designed with a great interior that exudes both elegance and comfort. The restaurant on-site serves delicious food that truly exceeded my expectations, making dining in a real treat. The views from the hotel are simply mesmerizing, adding to the peaceful and serene atmosphere that makes it the perfect getaway. The service was exceptional—every staff member was very helpful and accommodating, going out of their way to ensure a pleasant stay. It was so delightful that I ended up extending my stay by an extra day. The location is also incredibly convenient, within walking distance to everything you could need or want to explore. Overall, this hotel is a hidden gem—quiet, charming, and an absolute pleasure to stay at. Highly recommended!

Beware of hidden parking fees

The hotel is ok but the view from the room/ balcony was facing a small internal yard and a wall. Parking cost was supposed to be included as advertised on the site and agreed with Hotels.com but they wanted a high fee for it. Luckily we managed to park by the restaurant with agreement of its manager. Some staff has a snobbish attitude towards clients.

Unashamed luxury with friendly service

What a fabulous hotel. From the moment we were arrived and the bell-boy whisked our car into the garage - yes, you have to pay extra, but it is underground and worth it for the security and keeping out of the punishing sun - we were made to feel welcome. The common facilities are excellent, with a few seating areas available, all comfortable and well designed. The room was huge and the bed extremely comfortable. The only gripe I have is that there are no comfortable chairs in the room. The sitting area is small and frankly hostile - a couple of thick seat pads pushed against a wall, with a couple of tiny cushions. But this is the only complaint. The service was excellent throughout, the pool area spotlessly clean and well equipped and monitored. The spa looked lovely, although we didn't try it. And the breakfast was absolutely superb. We will be back.

Great but with some surprises

Great hotel The breakfast staff need to learn how to prepare eggs though, as the choice of eggs is poor and rather overcooked, which for a France or UK price level hotel is a serious down point. Parking was a surprise at checkout that could have been avoided if alerted at check-in that there is a daly charge = 10% of the price per night... Everyone was wearing masks at all times which was really reassuring

Fabulous hotel in a great location

The hotel is fantastic and from the moment you walk in you relax. The rooms are really well designed and the beds are really comfy. We stayed in a standard double room which was lovely. I got a peep in to one of the apartments which look large and amazing and overlook the marina with large balconies. When I stay again I will pay the extra and book one of these. Breakfast is really good with a selection of cheeses, meats, fish, yoghurts, eggs, bacon, mushrooms, pastries etc. and free flowing Prosecco. The spa and gym is really good and well equipped. The pool on the roof terrace is lovely and there are plenty of loungers and day beds to sunbathe. Service was really good and friendly. Bobby was very good and made an effort to tell us about Bulgaria and places to visit. There is only one downside of the hotel and that is the air freshener/fragrance they use in the communal areas of the hotel. It is strong and sickly. I’ve also read other reviews that have said the same thing. They don’t need to use any as the hotel is bright and airy to gets a lot of fresh air. Overall this is one of the nicest hotels I’ve stayed in and I travel regularly so have lots to compare it to. I will definitely be returning and highly recommend it. It is by far the best hotel in Sozopol.
