Description

Imperial Palace Hotel & Spa is a large five-star property built and renovated in 2013, featuring 545 rooms across a single 9-floor building. It is located directly on the public sandy beach of Sunny Beach, just 50 meters from the shore, offering both standard and superior rooms with various views, including sea and garden. The hotel provides a range of facilities such as four bars, two large restaurants, an a la carte Italian restaurant, and both indoor and outdoor pools. Families will find dedicated amenities including a kids’ club for ages 4 to 12, a children’s pool, and a buffet. Wellness services such as a spa center, sauna, hammam, and massages are available for an additional fee. Free Wi-Fi is offered in the lobby and restaurant areas, while paid internet is available in rooms. Despite its extensive amenities and beachfront location, guest reviews are mixed with praise for the location and size of rooms but frequent complaints about cleanliness, food quality, and staff service.

Location

Imperial Palace Hotel & Spa is situated in the Sunny Beach resort complex, 3 km from the resort center and 48 km from Bourgas Airport (BOJ). The hotel is positioned on the first line, just 50 meters from a public sandy beach, though beach umbrellas and sun loungers there require a fee. Nearby dining options include Restaurant Emona, 219 m away, and WOK Chinese Restaurant, 269 m away, both rated 8/10. The Dune Hotel Private Beach is 1,390 meters from the property, providing an alternative beach experience. The hotel's location offers easy access to water sports, volleyball on the beach, and other outdoor activities, with the town center reachable within a short drive or taxi ride.

The worst hotel I've ever stayed in. "ON THE BEACH" is the worst website to use. I don't recommend it. They did not take responsibility of my complaint. This hotel is still on their website. Shocking. The restaurant is not organised. It's always overcrowded. Food repetitive and low quality. No place for entertainment. My room was never cleaned properly in my 10 days stay. No toilet roll for one day. The hotel in general was dirty. "PET FRIENDLY" hotel turned into poo in the swimming pool. Absolutely disgusting. Sunny Beach is definitely worth a visit but in another hotel!

This is definitely not a 5-star hotel. The room was not properly cleaned (stains on the windows and mirror, dirt under the beds). The pool bar had only one staff member, long queues, and very poor-quality drinks. The food was repetitive, canteen-style, with salty sauces and no variety. In 5 days I didn’t get a proper steak. Desserts and meat portions were controlled by staff, and at the restaurant entrance your beach bag is taken away. On the last day, both my child and I had stomach issues. The overall experience felt cheap and disappointing. We even had to buy drinks from the hotel shop because the ones included were undrinkable. Parking was 100€ for 5 days. The “luxury” look of the hotel does not make up for the poor food, drinks, and cleanliness. I do not recommend this hotel.

Very disappointed with our stay here. It is not worth the money. Wouldn’t recommend at all. The hotel is very dated, nothing like the photographs. -Hotel rooms are basic & unclean. -Food stations & some staff were unhygienic. -Food choice & quality poor. -2 toasters for the whole hotel to use -Staff are miserable & rude especially the young ones on reception -Grounds are in need of maintenance & care. -Kids club very small & outdated, play ground floor was unsafe. -Lack of shade in the children’s areas, especially in the mid day sun. -Loud dance music playing round the pool constantly. -Disappointing evening entertainment especially for the children. -People smoking everywhere. -Weekend beach rave very noisy till 7am, this was obviously not the hotels fault but would have been good to know. -Lifeguard on duty spend his time smoking & on his phone.

The food is the same every day. The food is sometimes raw. 2 beds, one small and very hard and one big and comfy. Awful smell from bathroom. Horrible English. Amazing view from the balcony. Horrible..
02.10.2024 Guest
The location and view are great. I booked the all-inclusive but there is not much to use in the evening. The food served for dinner needs improvement.
27.09.2024 Happy
I left my bag with new cosmetics in the belongings room. I asked to keep it for a few weeks. I asked if it was okay and nothing would happen to it. They told me not to worry. I returned to the hotel again for 3 nights. I went to get it and the bag was not there in the morning. I looked again. They didn't even care that it was stolen, they didn't want to check cameras, nothing, they said we only keep a week on the day I left them, they said we'll keep it for you, and now they only keep it for a week, it was a small bag that didn't even take up space and the storage room was huge empty, no one helped, they just looked at me like what do you want at all In no hotel have I ever had things stolen like that within a few weeks, they always kept it until I came, I didn't come back after a year to demand my things, every hotel keeps a safe for up to months. I had a lot of cosmetics that I bought all new packaged it was worth a lot of money ampoules for a full treatment for three months and a pair of new shoes.
