The hotel is well-situated just a few blocks from the beach and up several flights of decayed marble steps to the main square. The service was exceptional. Beach towels and large umbrellas were provided, and the staff worked very hard to ensure a good stay. This was our first time in Bulgaria, and we were treated pleasantly and with respect. The breakfast is superb, and the Nespresso machine in the room was very welcome. Linens and bedding were of very good quality. The bed was an actual double, and not two singles pushed together as is often the case. The shower is not encased, so the bathroom got quite wet; the bathroom could also use extra space for toiletries - we improvised with the luggage stand.
Overall, we were pleasantly surprised.
