Nothing to add

Teodora is a sweet heart helping us with everything we need, every time we come to Balcik. Big room with a stunning sea view, very clean, comfortable beds, with air-conditioning, a fridge and a TV. The pool is very clean and has a perfect water temperature. Easy access to the seafront and near the entrance of Queen's Mary botanical gardens. Near the hotel is also a minimarket. Every year is a pleasure to come back!

Very friendly staff

Bring enough cash as the payment is cash only. There are ATMs around but low-fee ones are very hard to find.

Amazing view, very nice room and patio, great comfortable mattress. The hotel has its own swimming pool. It's merely a few minutes to the beach and the botanical gardens. The staff is very friendly and welcoming.

Decent hotel in a great location, with good sized pool and free parking. Stayed here a few times now and delighted to see the same friendly receptionist each time.

They did not change the sheets at all in 6 days, but it was ok, we did not went in the rooms with sand or dirt.

The hotel is next to the street of the castle. The lady from the reception is very kind. They have free parking. The room had a great view to the sea. The swimming pool was cleaned daily. The room was clean and had basic toilletries, AC, TV, small fridge.

The location is excellent! Clean and big rooms. The view of the sea is fantastic!

The bedsheets are too little, impossible not to remove them from the bed, if you make even one move. The trash bin also very small, one big trash bin in front of the building would help a lot.

Perfect curtains - they shut out the light perfectly. It is not possible to search in booking.com for "completely dark room", but if you look for that, it is the place. As the windows are also good, you have to deal only with the sound of the fridge and the A/C, Both work well. The pool is enough big, it works longer as it is posted, enough chairs around it. The sea is enough close, the stairs towards it are not so bad. The view is nice, the terrace is enough big.. Restaurants, shops are close. Really good place to stay. Our 4 days flew away quickly.

-we didn't experience any

All the staff were very friendly and patient. We were staying in the renovated part of the hotel and we had a great sea view. There are stairs in front of the hotel leading to the sea. Bare in mind that I didn't find Beach in Balchik ( in the convinient meaning of Beach) there are platforms to go to the water and there very little sandy parts. It is hard to find space to park in the city, that was the reason why we have choosen this hotel-it is extremely convinient. The hotel is very close to the main road as well, so it is easily accessible. Location wise - just next to the palace and the botanical garden. Just across the street there are few Supermarkets. A suggestion - just a water kettle would be very very nice!

Sun beds in the pool area could be updated with mattresses. AC was stopping working on every early morning as there are some kind of time settings which you could not change. WI FI was not working.

Room was spacious and clean, had very nice balcony with a sea view which we enjoyed the most. Location is nice and green, but keep in mind that you have to climb quite a lot of steps if you want to reach the sea or the main restaurants. The staff was very operative and friendly, helped with all the questions we had. This hotel is really worth the money you pay and we enjoyed our stay.

The view is amaizing !

Room was a little bit too squized for 3 persons, and we would have liked a water can to boil some water in the room.

Rooms are clean, pool is great, easy access from garden to the beach by stairs. Nice message from the staff on the mirror in the bathroom 😀

Parts of the hotel were not used and it felt like like a ghost place a bit. It was an old communist hotel with restaurants and cafes, which were closed. It has great potential but needs a lot more investment. It's great for a short stay, but I would not come back and spend a longer time.

The receptionist was super friendly and polite. The view from the room was amazing. Quiet place for great sleep. The place was basic but clean. It was very close to the botanical garden, but not so close to the city.

A fool included breakfast would be nice

A very quiet place

Stayed in June 2023

It is very annoying to have no breakfast options or at least a functional automatic coffee machine to get a coffee in the morning. There should be at least a kettle and some instant coffee / teas in the room. The administration is blaming it on corona regulations, truth is there is obviously a lack of interest to provide further services. Why bother when its so convenient to just cash in without investing / repairing / paying for further staff. Pool was supposed to be ready on the 1st of june but was not. The hotel should invest in repairing the stairs that go down to the seaside promenade and install some lights there, as they are super shabby and very dark at night. These stairs are the only way of access to the sea. There is only one other road at the other end of Balchik, so taking the road is a minimum 30 min detour. For older people or parents with a stroller that makes it very problematic to spend the evening on the promenade, and not everyone goes to the beach in a fat ass car. There s an obvious lack of interest to invest and repair which is a good thing and a bad thing for this hotel. Any modernization would probably make it extremely ugly and destroy the original elements, like everything else on the whole Balkan coast. There is no real reason to visit Balchik other than the Queen's palace and gorgeous gardens, which they also managed to destroy by taking over the space in front with disgusting hotels and restaurants. 0 interest to protect historical heritage, though they already make tones of money with the super expensive entrance fee.

Old school hotel living from its old school charm. Gorgeous location with breathtaking views from the rooms facing the sea. Further away from the seaside promenade, quiet, immersed in the green. The ground is built in stones, old school garden lamps, old school benches, old school playground so its a really charming experience for nostalgics of 60s-70s architecture (just a guess, i couldnt find any info about the history of the hotel). The lady from the reception was extremely nice and helpful. The view of the rising moon over the sea makes the price worth it (which is otherwise totally blown up for such a hotel, but all the prices in Balchik are blown up).

Not a problem for us, but it is good to know that it is not suitable for people with reduced mobility.

The view is wonderful and the hotel is very close to the palace.

The room was big and clean, and the bed super comfortable. Also the location was very nice, surrounded by trees and very close to the castle.

The kids playground could be a bit more renewed, the reception should be better signalised, also the whole place looked like maintained 50%. With a bit of effort and minimal costs the services could be much improved....!

Good room (in renovated part of the hotel), good location (pretty easy to reach everywhere in Balchik), clean swimming pool
