3 star hotels in Bulgaria

+ It is very good for families with kids. Close to the beach and city centre. Big free parking. Two big pools. - Most of the staff are new and not so customer oriented also not kind. Low quality of breakfast.

We had a lovely holiday,thank you. Rooms nice and clean, staff very friendly, great location close to the beach and town to walk. Breakfast big variety and ok. We did not try the restaurant

Great place to create happy family memories. Nice location. Lovely view from the restaurant's terrace. Clean swimming pools. Playgrounds. Free parking for the guests of the hotel. The loby bar is managed by professionals. Good value for the price.

Well, to be honest, we were here 15 years ago with our children (which is definitely a good idea) and this time we are travelling with friends and are once again very satisfied. The breakfast is simple, Bulgarian and fresh. Tomatoes, cucumbers, olives and feta cheese or Bulgarian yoghurt with oatmeal and fresh fruit, but also bread, cake or pasta are on offer every day. The fact that you can now have...

Very good family hotel, great location in front of the sea and close to the old town, kind personnel, swimming pool and good facilities. The food offer for the all-in formula has substantially improved!

The hotel is situated in a very convenient area. It's 5 minutes away from the beach and 4 minutes away from the centre. The staff was exceptional. Young people with a brighter smile than the sun and very polite. They were very cool and patient with our child as he was constantly moaning, walking around and touching the windows and everything where you can leave your fingerprints on. Furthermore they...

Exceptional service and attention especially from the manager and Krasimira. They catered for all our needs. The apartment is 5 stars even in a three-star hotel. An extended thank you to the cleaning team. We will highly recommend the Briz beach to our friends and family. We will sure to return one day again.

Only spent 2 nights here but one of the friendliest receptionists in BG. Rooms are modern and clean, well above average. Front line, step onto the beach location. Will definitely use again and highly recommend.

We had a fantastic stay at Briz beach, just a stone's throw from the sea. Excellent service and perfect cleaning even though we often woke up late, but as soon as we hung out the sign the cleaning lady showed up within 10 minutes. The restaurant had just as nice staff and super good food, both several vegetarian and vegan options. Can't recommend enough / Jonathan

We are satisfied with the hotel. Clean, beautiful and tidy. We took it because of the sea view. The view is amazing! You take part in a movement, in a party. But it doesn't interfere with sleep at all. The service is excellent! Cleaning every day as promised. Everything is adequate for a family holiday. We'll be back!

In general, not bad, the cleaning is good, the staff is friendly, with the exception of one thing. He communicates only in English. But the pool is a complete disaster, very small and dirty, located right in the restaurant... no matter how strange it sounds. And no green area.. We were very disappointed by this, the children's holiday was ruined.

Love this Hotel, spend every summer here and always feel like at home!

+ very very nice people Clean, modern rooms Big facilities - A little far away from the center breakfast could be a little better You hear everything outside of your room

Location was very convenient for my needs, however the shower in the room was a bit see-through

I was in Plovdiv on business. I chose the hotel because its location suited me very well. Not only were my expectations met, but it turned out to be even nicer. The breakfast was delicious, there was a great choice. Both the rooms and the lobby are very creative and modern, they used an interesting solution regarding the bathrooms - enclosed with glass, I would visit with my partner. There is a large...

Mid level stay Hotel’s facilities are not good. The restaurant was closed. The pool is open for everyone with a fee and closed at 19:30. The receptionist does not know english and rude. The room is big enough but there is no private bathroom, just a glass place with filming.

Great staff,modern ,clean,value for the money,nice swimming pool, restaurant next door,

Looks more modern Hotel looks modern but lacks some practicalities, restaurant was closed, the bathroom was enclosed in glass with sticker on it. Sink was inside the room near the door where the lighting switches on with a sensor and goes off after 10seconds. Not practical. The receptionist helped us to get some food although not know one word in english. Google translate really helped in these...

Stayed here on a lads holiday for 8 days, hotel manager and workers were all great and looked after our needs and room was cleaned everyday. The food is good and always fresh. Drinks available all day and staff are friendly. Best part about this hotel is the entertainment, vlad was great with us and anything we needed he was our first port of call and made our holiday a great laugh, will definitely...

I visited this hotel in 2021 so I hope now it's different but... This hotel offered us many great activities and I'm satisfied about the hotel. Only problem was the food. Our all-inclusive was same whole week, same breakfast, lunch and dinner offer every day. I'm also not sure about the sources of food but food was just a only problem for me. It's not a little issue but everything other was great ...

It's a good hotel for the price. The best it's at the beach and has all facilities needed to spend lazy and relaxing time or sleepless night thus satisfying almost any taste. Shower in my room needed to be replaced as adjusting water temperature was not trivial. Airconditioner was very noisy, hence, night couldn't be quite - either loud partying music with open window or nasty airconditioner or very...

Beautiful hotel close to the beach, I highly recommend it. The food and drinks are good compared to some of the other all-inclusive hotels and the customer service in particular is top notch! Thank you!

Grifid Foresta is the perfect place for a peaceful and relaxing holiday in Golden Sands. Surrounded by greenery, it's quiet, cozy, and beautifully designed. The staff is absolutely amazing - always smiling, friendly, and always ready to help, making every guest feel truly welcome The rooms are clean and very comfortable. The free minibar is a big plus. The food is fantastic - fresh, flavorful, and...

This hotel is situated in a very quiet place, away from the crowd in Golden Sands. When we arrived during the night, there was a dinner for us in the restaurant. The receptionist was very kind and helped us with the luggage. They have 2 times shuttle to the beach. Food is delicious and with good quality and enough for everyone. There was a singer one of the nights. On the bar the bartender made...

I like very very much hotel Foresta, extremely nice and good personnel, very good service at the bar, in the restaurant. Pool is very good, always good drinks and cocktails. The food is very delicious, very good variety. Bulgarian night was very good organised with welcome drinks. Also when we arrived they welcomed us with champagne. Reception very kind and gave us information about anything we...

Location was very good as it is located 10-15min walk across the party street. Since it is an adult hotel it made our experience better as we found it much quieter. The service was very good from the staff working at the reception! The rooms were also very large and clean. I recommend this hotel to people who want a quiet holiday at the hotel and would rather go to parties and nightlife. Shuttle bus...

Wonderful hotel. Nice rooms, tasty food, friendly staff. I would certainly recommend this hotel!

Decent hotel with reasonable price. Location is good - hotel situates near beach and shopping streets. Little disturbing was that sunbeds around the pools were always occupied (reserved with towels etc) and nobody did not seem to care. Pool bar was nice. Rooms are very clean.

Great Value Hotel Close to both the beach and local amenities Food was good and rooms were kept tidy on a daily basis Hotel bar was great and offered a wide range of cocktails Would highly recommend using this Hotel to explore Sunny Beach and Nessebar Will definitely use again when visiting beautiful Bulgaria.

We had a lovely time at Hotel Lion as a group of 3 in August 2024. The hotel is lovely and clean, our room was spacious and comfortable with a pool view, balcony was a bit small but was still nice. Food was varied and delicious at all meal times, however at breakfast it was especially busy and sometimes hard to find a table to sit at. The pool snack bar had excellent food choices and the food was quick...

The hotel had a good location, and the food at the hotel was quite okay. There were issues with check-in, as it starts at 3:00 PM and check-out is at 12:00 PM. The staff spoke very little English, which is somewhat understandable. When we checked into the room, the air conditioning didn’t work. The staff said they would send a technician, who claimed to have checked the room but couldn’t fix it....

Hotels restaurant is too small for all the guests. All the table are full at breakfast and there is lots of noise and people. It wasn't a relaxing breakfast at all. There is three Coffee machines in a restaurant, but it takes ages to get your Coffee. Elevator is really slow and we ended up walking to 5th floor almost every time. Do not leave any open food products on the floor as there will be an...

on our second day here we arrived back to the hotel our room door was left wide open by housekeeping, no safe in the room so meant our valuables couldn’t Be properly stored away. NO ENTERTAINMENT- no atmosphere, nothing to do, the pool is the only source of entertainment - no music no bands, nothing. I’m not picky with food but even I couldn’t find anything to eat - there is no variety and was the...

When I read the negative reviews I saw here whilst at this resort I thought I had to write about my recent 10 day stay at Sun City. 1st of all we were looking for a lazy holiday of relaxing by the pool mostly so were happy that Sunny Beach is a party town but we weren't looking to get involved much. This is a great thing about this hotel. LOCATION. Its a few streets back from the main strip so is pretty...

Best quality and sensible price. Very good food and there was few events organised by the hotel. The pool was nice and clean, we had nice view and the beach was near. I can recommend for short and long time stay.

Terrible while trying fall asleep and hotel guests are screaming even at 3am

Very nice hotel. Rooms are very clean. They are thoroughly cleaned in every day. If you like silence and calm Sun City will be the best option in Sunny Beach. The staff is helpful. In my opinion 4,5/5 because the food is monotonous and specific. Generally very good opinion. I recommended this place.

I've visited in December. Cold and not very clean but the view is great and it's right on the sea side. The food wasn't too good

stayed for twelve days in may.2013. the hotel is being updated and the room we had was excellent, the staff are very helpful and the manager/owner will arrange all trips,taxis and any visits you should need most enjoyable stay and look forward to visiting again

This is a good place to stay for a few days. Very comfortable and cozy room with nice 24 hours service. The wide underground parking place. There two restaurant at the first floor.

The rooms were clean and with nice furniture, just one of the bathrooms was smelling and doesn’t include breakfast. Other than that everything was good and there is parking and park for children in front.

The reception doesn't know where is free parking. I parked next to the building after asking reception and getting confirmation it's okay to park there. In a couple hours got a fine ticket (looked like because I was a foreigner and no cars with BG plates had the ticket)

We had an absolutely phenomenal stay ! Our experience was made a whole lot better because of the lady at reception called Alex. She was so helpful & accommodating ! The room, bedroom & bathroom looked exactly like the pictures, if not better. As it was freezing temperatures the heater warmed the entire place up in no time ! It was a perfect location as we had Kaufland on our door step.

Nice room, very new, comfortable bed, there are 2 restaurants downstairs there is no breakfest, starbucks in walkingt distance

Cozy apartments - modern and comfortable. The area around the hotel is well lid and brand new. There public parking spaces but pay attention to the signs.

We chose the southernmost hotel in the Kranevo resort, Bulgaria: the Palma Beach Hotel. With 4 floors, but on the beach! With the finest light yellow sand, sifted every morning. With silence in the hotel and on the sun loungers that start from the terraces, with an incredible service culture. Breakfast is with at least 4 types of fruit, even figs, with 2 types of vegetables, with real Bulgarian...

This is my second time staying at the hotel and I can't recommend it enough! The most attentive, kind and reliable staff. The hotel is situated super close to the beach and that really helps after a long day at the beach. Basic but delicious breakfast, really good dining prices, clean rooms and lovely atmosphere! My family and I are definitely coming back! Thank you to the entire staff for making my...

The hotel is fair priced and nothing special in terms of luxury, but it was close to the beach and clean. We got a double room with big balcony and there was a mini fridge and a TV inside. The rooms are cleaned on a daily basis and there is an elevator in the building as well as a ramp for wheelchair. A slight minus was the fact that the pool was not operating at the time of our visit but there was...

Great location,but not the best hotel ever

Nice clean rooms and close to the beach

Spa services were not available, quaint remote location with fresh air and mountain forest views

The setting is lovely, a typical resort hotel nestled in the mountains, next to a lake. The rooms are classic European style, rather basic, but clean and tidy. The surroundings are particularly nice. It's a shame I was here on business...

Beautiful, quiet location, exceptionally clean and well maintained. Very comfortable beds- we had a 2 bed apartment with kitchen facilities and a sitting room with a balcony. Good quality toiletries were provided also a good selection of teas, coffee and soft drinks free of charge. Breakfast was excellent and dinner reasonably priced.

This is an oasis in the Forrest! The rooms are huge, so comfortable and peaceful. The staff are very helpful and speak English well, and the surroundings are just stunning.

A great place worth visiting and personally I don't regret it one bit! The location itself is ideal, if you are looking for peace, great nature and a good starting point for mountain walks. The service from the staff was polite, always accurate and very correct. The spa part was on a level, I am extremely satisfied - a clean pool with enough warm and pleasant water, enough options for a steam bath...

Great place, nice view, clean and new rooms. Receptionist really helpful and speaks English as well. Restaurant has a good variety of options. Within 10 minutes of car from multiple attractions.

We had a rest in August 2025. We liked it very much. The sea is close here, the pool is clean, the food is delicious, and there is a disco in the evening. My children and I had a lot of fun on our rest.

The hotel has a lot of negative reviews, but I give it a positive one, I don't think it deserves all these bad reviews. The hotel is clean, cleaned every day. We had a two-room studio, terrace and balcony. Pool cleaned daily. The canteen in a separate building is large and spacious, the food is good. All inclusive option lots of food all day long. Good alcohol, various drinks. Nice and helpful service...

A somewhat old hotel, torn wallpaper, worn carpet... Value for money okay. The bar by the pool is negative because you have to pay there. This makes the bar very crowded upstairs. This is already closed at 10 p.m., although the program is still running. One hardly understands German here. The entertainers are very nice and try very hard. The food is pretty path and and especially the breakfast is not...

So so, very nice staff, beautiful view of the seaside, brilliant food for all three services (it was so delicious...mmm). Can and must only focus on cleaning and general hygiene. Very friendly staff.

Awesome place Mostly very, very kind and smiling staff

I recommend for familly, small children, nice and heplfull staff , deliciuos tomatoes😄 ice cream, a little small pool, we were three with Tui😄

Very good and cozy three-star hotel on the Golden Sands resort. Great meals: buffet breakfasts and dinners with various dishes daily. Fully equipped big cozy room. Daily cleaning. Friendly staff.

Very big and clean rooms,you have a lot of space. It has a big parking. When it comes to food,i can say that there are not so many types of food you can eat. The quality of the food is medium. The pool is nice but it's little. The hotel is not far away from the sea and the restaurants,but it is so tiring when you need to come back to the hotel. Overall,i liked the experience but i would have given...

Hotel and rooms are nice. Pool is clean. It has Lifeguard. There is a parking at the hotel. Food is plenty but in my opinion it could be better with a better chef. Some of the employees of the restaurant are grumpy. It has no beach and no contract with a beach. Wi-fi in my room has low signal and keeps disconecting. With better food and a beach contract for clients of the hotel, i would give it 5 stars...

Hotel ok, cheap food, not even an Orange juice.

Very nice place. Good Bulgarian food and nice pool with bar. Good price- value ratio. Very nice barman ;) a lot of free sunbeds at the pool. Strong wifi.

Great cosy hotel in a quiet forest. One of the most quiet places in Golden Sands. It has been recently renovated. The restaurant offers delicious food and has a scenic terrace. There is a pool and bar next to it. The staff is very friendly and polite. Great value for money. The disadvantage is it is up a hill, about 6-10 min. normal walk, climbing from the beach, but it is tolerable. Overall it is...

If you are in need of an all inclusive place with fast and easy access to the beach, in my opinion this hotel offers great value for the money.

Very nice place with excellent atmosphere and friendly staff. The restaurant provides various types of dishes. The outside bars are beautiful and plentiful with big sort of drinks, sweets and tasty little beverages. The staff at reception is kind and always willing to help as well as the housekeeping and the waiters or bartenders. We highly recommend it!

The best place in Bulgaria for your summer holiday. Everything was perfect. Clean rooms. Delicious and fresh food all the time. All the staff members were so friendly , helpful and polite . I am going to return there the next summer for sure

A unique place for wonderful holiday! We appreciate every service from the hotel at the highest level. Perfect accomodation with amazing restaurant. The cleaning was also absolutely brilliant. We will definitely reccomend it and come back again

Ligger i den stille del af Sunny Beach Dejligt hotel og lægger i den stille del af Sunny Beach. God morgen mad og god strand bar lige uden for hotellet.

You not gonna find here luxury holiday, but it's good place to relax with children. Good staff, good food ( every day similar, but tasty and enough) Close to the beach ( 5 minutes walking distance), next to supermarket shop 2 swimming pools Actually you are more in "SAINT VLAS" area, than in "SUNNY BEACH". 🌞 Minuses: No enough parking spaces for all guests. If yes, they are very expensive - 25 leva...

Brought an apartment here. Martin the manager couldn't have been more helpful, even finding us a spare remote control for our air conditioning unit that was lost. Even though the hotel wasn't open because of covid 19 the pool and gym were open/filled for the few guest who have apartments. Very impressed!

Had a nice holiday, very clean and tidy. Food was very basic and repetitive. Very nice relaxing atmosphere around the pool, evening entertainment was enjoyable but be aware that the bar closes at 10pm. All in all good for a young family but teenagers will be terribly bored very quickly.

Very nice hotel, our apartment is cleaned every day. In bathroom are soap and shampoo, also they give new towels every day. In four person apartment are 3 room, living room, bathroom and two bedrooms, in first is one, big double bed, in second are two one person beds, in living room is sofa. Also we have two air conditioners, one in living room and one in bedroom with 2 beds. The pool is deep from...

Tasty food, reasonable prices, enormous apartments, nice staff. Sometimes you can find a spider in a corner. Unfortunately, way to the beach is pretty dangerous when you walk, but the Hotel has free shuttle bus that will pick you up if you want to wait for it. To sum up, I can reccomend this hotel for everyone.

Spent 2 great weeks mid July this year and could not fault the hotel for us. The food was good. The rooms were large and cleaned daily. We were fully inclusive and I have no complaints about the soft drinks or local beer and spirits or wine. There was entertainment all day for the kids or adults. It is 3 star but I would recommend it to you. Note there are no lifts. The staff were very helpful at all...

Good friendly staff, meals are buffet not hot but I've had worse. No complaints about the room it's extremely spacious Give them time im sure there will be many more improvements

Good location and Good Breakfast

Very good location, just next to the walking street. Room size was not big but not too small either. Breakfast was good. Very convenient to explore the city.

The room is old, but clean. The air conditioner is a bit loud.

It was our first stay in Sofia, and we couldn't have picked a better hotel.

Nice staff Perfect location Good variety breakfast Just the air conditioner not working properly in our room

Excellent small boutique hotel, very clean room, good location and fabulous buffet breakfast

I stayed here because of a conference at the University Paisii Hilendarski. Yes, it's outside of city centre, but there are buses that go quite often (bus station just a 3 min walk from the hotel). The rooms are spatious, spotless and modern, and the staff helpful and friendly. Couldn't find a fault, it's really a good value for money!

Very clean and new place. Situated on a quiet outskirts side of the town, at just 10 minutes with a taxi. The personnel were very nice and helpful. They also have a decent restaurant, where you can get fair food. Unfortunately, în spite they have all the rooms equipped with smart tvs, the wireless network is very unstable, so you can not have a YouTube or Netflix normal experience! All in all, it...

This is a great little hotel with the most wonderful staff. Within minutes of arrival I injured my hand in a freak accident. Ina in reception volunteered to take me to A&E at the local hospital. Once there she acted as my interpreter & paid for a Tetanus shot & Antibiotics plus dressings etc. Totally above and beyond her role and on her own time as she had finished her shift. The food in Avocado...

I stayed only for 1 I highly recommend the hotel-clean and well equipped studio,perfect reception desk and very delicious breakfast.Free parking on the spot

Overall, nice and big rooms; very friendly staff; the restaurant has great food with good prices. Only thing negative is the location; hard to get to the center due to Maritsa river and public transport is highly unreliable.

Great Hotel! Spotlessly clean, modern, air conditioned. Staff are very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. We were very happy to have found such a lovely place. Only a five minute drive into Plovdiv Centre where we found plenty of parking freely available. The attached restaurant Avocado is absolutely superb with such an extensive menu that we couldn't find fault with at all. Again...

This hotel for this money is ok. There are nuances that the restaurant is open only in the morning, the bar does not work at all, the pool only until 5 pm, it is not clear why, because it is wonderful to swim in the pool at sunset. Also, the settlement was not very successful. I had to go and check the right number on my own because the first number was not in order. It's a little strange to me, the...

The girl at the reception was very kind and friendly, the breakfast was very basic and there was a lot of noise in the room because there were buses very close. good quality price ratio

Everybody is lying about the hotel, there are no insects , nobody is shouting and everyone treats you good and the breakfast is good. The real scammer are booking sites!!! They wanted to make us pay 464 euro for the same stuff , but when i made a reservation through phone it was 250 Euro(488.95 bgn). So if you paid more than this for 5 nights dont complain to the hotel , you got scammed

Overall ok, restaurant should not be closed after 4 pm.

I had a wonderful time at the hotel! The service was outstanding. They made me feel valued as a guest and were always ready to assist with any requests I had. I was particularly impressed by the cleanliness of the hotel. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend this hotel to others looking for a pleasant vacay.

They forgot to leave me towels. It's not a big hotel. If you're not pretentious like me, you'il like it

This is a very good hotel for the price and star rating. It's central enough without being in the middle of the mele of sunny beach. The rooms are large and clean (albeit basic), with plenty of hot water and regular towel and sheet changes. Without doubt I can say the reason the holiday was so good was because of the fabulous service received from Ivaylo the main barman. He was super efficient, friendly...

Just come back from a 10 day stay at the Karlovo. I had read negative reviews but decided to still go with it, many reviews spoke about how rude staff were. We arrived around 10.45pm tried and in need of food, we were greeted by a very smiley receptionist, Rachel. She was so lovely and polite, in fact many of the staff were and the barman at the pool bar was great! All though the hotel is a little...

The service was excellent from Rachael and Tudor ( who spoke VERY good English) , also the other reception staff. Yes the pool is small but the amazing beach is 5 minutes away. Yes, the hotel is near a busy road, we enjoyed watching the action with a Gin and tonic from the balcony!! Breakfast was fine, no issues. Room was spotlessly cleaned each day! We do intend to visit Bulgaria again, and this...

The hotel's price-quality ratio did not meet expectations. There was not always staff at the reception who spoke English. The bathroom smelled of sewage. We told the staff about this and they said they knew about the problem and could do nothing about it. The reason is the whole sewage system because it is an old house. The breakfast was really modest and there were not many options available. The...

The Hotel is in a great location for exploring Sunny Beach. Flower Street and the beach are within a short walk 5/10 minutes. The Hotel and rooms are extremely clean and well kept. The cleaners came in and done the room every day. The pool bar serves a good pint at 5LV each which is very reasonable. The food looked good although we never ordered as we prefer to go out. Reception is manned 24hrs...

We stayed at this hotel from 2nd to 16th September from the first day we were very impressed with the staff food was good the room was cleaned every day and bedsheets changed every 3 days location to beach and flower street we great special mention to the manager at bar was a great guy thank you for a great holiday
