Hotels Near Retail Park Varna in Varna

Grand Hotel London is a gem, but a gem that needs polishing, and one which needs supporting if it is to complete a successful comeback after the pandemic. The building is a Belle Epoque triumph, the bar, the rooms have to be seen to be believed. We had a splendid suite overlooking the square (#1) which was wonderful to stay in. The bathroom was modern and entirely satisfactory. Staff were very helpful during our stay, and we found the breakfast quite adequate ( though it required passing downstairs to the lobby and then up to the breakfast room) The bar was architecturally magnificent, but almost always empty, and the restaurant hasn't reopened for evening meals. The location is very convenient for the beach, museums and galleries and the Railway station. One final point; there is a large tree immediately outside the hotel which needs radical pruning to improve the view into and out of the hotel.

This hotel is a complete gem. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, the service was impeccable and professional. In Varna for work, we arrived in he middle of a rainy weather. The hotel was welcoming and throughout our stay the staff were polite and accommodating. In every sense of the word, this is a boutique hotel. Small, intimate and quite luxurious. A real haven of tranquility. My room was an apartment with every convenience supplied. Standards of cleanliness were exceptionally high. Well-appointed bathroom, fine shower and minibar plus Nespresso machine. A really impressive aspect is breakfast. Selection was simply outstanding and food was fresh, abundant and varied. Nice emphasis on Bulgarian produce. Hotel location is wonderful - opposite the Maritime Park (which is glorious). All in all, an excellent hotel in a delightful city. The final word must go to the staff and management. Nothing was too much for them - friendly and outgoing, supplying umbrellas and making every encounter so pleasant. I shall certainly return! Thank you!

Disappointing. Definately not a four star. This hotel is so overrated and overprized. There are other hotels close by giving better value for money. On the positive side there is a nice reception area. And the bed is quite comfortable. The view is overlooking a crossroad. On the other side the hotel is old and worn. In the room there are no sockets near the bed. AC is central govern. Not possible adjusting temperature in the room. I left it on max cold for 24 hrs. No difference. It’s just a fan blowing. The hotel is located in the street. You get a lot of traffic noise from the crossroad outside. Furthermore curtains are not lightproof. You wake up at 6am by sunrise. And then there is breakfast. Breakfast is the worst I had in ages. Simple, cheap and a complete mess. They are trying, but definately struggling. Cheap, greasy low quality products . In addition they deny to refill after 9.30 and turn off the lights 10.05 while guests still are eating. Breakfastroom is crowded, lacking tables. Staff is hostile passive aggressive and shows horrendous behavior. But coffee was ok! Under the surface they really need to improve their quality. I am glad I only stayed two nights.

This hotel is great, the view is great, the room is large and comfortable, it is very comfortable to sleep here, the service is great, the roadside parking is charged and free on holidays, this is a very good holiday place

- Overall the Hotel is newly built, the exterior looks really appealing, interior of the hotel and the rooms are kept very clean. - The food is very good, fresh. Just a small thing I’d like to mention, on the first day of our stay, there were not many people in the restaurant, but the food (salad, appetizer, main, desert) were excellent. But on the other days, where more people were in the restaurant, the quality of the food went down a little bit, most probably because of the rush, but still it was very good. - “Sea Salt Restaurant”, the one which is in the hotel, once again, the quality and price ratio is excellent. If you are comming from a richer country, the prices in the restaurant and the food which is served is really great. We could not havr found a better restaurant in Golden Sands, which has really good prices, and the excellent quality of the food (tip: I highly recommend getting the Half Board or All Inclusive) - Staff is very friendly, expect for one waiter, who probably is the administrator of other waiters, he wasn’t friendly with us, most probably because we were as a young couple. For instance, we came to the dinner, and he saw us, but did not let us to a table, while an older couple came in and he let them to the table and served them. In other days, he was the same during breakfast and dinner times. But all the other waiters were very friendly and chatty. - A heated pool is outside the hotel with sunbeds. It is not big, but it works because the hotel is not big as other hotels in Golden Sands. - View to the sea is amazing (I recommend getting the room with Sea View on the 4th floor, trust me, it is worth the extra money) - Cleaning lady was cleaning rooms every day. - Beds were very comfy, but the pillow was a little too thin. - Balcony was quiet big. - Overall the hotel is in a calmer place, but there was an ongoing construction in front of the hotel, but they were working only during the day - The distance to all the clubs, restaurants and the overall fun is about 20 minutes. - All in all, we were satisfied with the hotel and if you are planning on visiting the Varna and would like to have more peace and calmness during your stay, choose this hotel.

We had a great time here although there was a few blips at first. The blips we had was when we arrived, our room bins hadn't been emptied, but were done so immediately after we informed reception. The cleaning of the rooms seems to be a bit erratic and we nearly ran out of toilet paper, but this was easily sorted by asking the cleaners for some. We thought the facilities were great ie the gym right opposite the dining room, and the sauna and steam room right opposite the swimming pool. Getting a sunbed was never a problem, the staff were generous with the drinks on the all- inclusive deal, and also very friendly. Generally the food is good, especially the fresh fruit, vegetables and the pork and lamb dishes, as well as the white cheese, pastries and rye bread at breakfast time. A nice final touch was when the management informed us we could keep our room till we wanted to leave as a complimentary gesture, which made a great difference. We'd definitely return.

The International Hotel ****** is highly recommended. I spent 6 days by myself in a room with a park view and had an amazing stay. The hotel is very clean, well-managed and well-located next to the beach. The staff is very friendly. Regardless to your passion to ******, you'll find the hotel well-suited for your vacation. The infinity pool is gorgeous and gym is well-equipped. I literally have no complaints.
