General-Kiselovo Holidays

The food quality was not great, we did go during off season so the outdoor amenities were not in order, however we did manage to swim in the outdoor pool only because we could handle the cooler water

The hotel is in a good condition, clean. Used towels are changed every day and the sheets every 4 days. Restaurant is clean and the personnel is very well trained. Good WiFi in our room. That's the good part. Now the bad part. -Over-crowded small parking, parked cars almost glued to each other at their directions. When you leave, although you ask them at the reception to make room for you, nothing happens. -Parking is after 12.00 at check-in and although there are free parking spaces, you are not allowed to park. This restriction is not mentioned either on the hotel site or on the booking sites. The attitude of security agents is arrogant. We were not even allowed to enter the hotel! - The bus to the beach does not have air conditioning although some races due to the bad program made are full. Passengers get to argue with each other. The first race to the beach is at 9.00, much too late and at lunch from the beach to the hotel there is a break between 11.40 and 13.10 even during the lunch table. Do managers want their guests to stop eating? Do they think they eat too much food? - Food and drinks are not at 4 * level. The coffee is instant, the drinks are fake, from the dispenser, the soups are tasteless, the cakes look good (some), but the taste is plastic. - The back lane with stairs leading to the resort is in very bad shape, dirty with unbearable odor at the end. - The adult entertainment quality was rather poor.

We had a great time and a positive experience in general. The location of the hotel is perfect - close to the beach and the main strip. At the same time it's in the quiet more family-oriented part of the resort and it was quiet at night. The food was quite nice as well and there were beer, drinks and ice-cream/snacks throughout the day. The negatives - this is not a 4 star hotel. It looks and feels more like a 3* hotel. On the balcony there were rust spots and bird poo which was not cleaned. The comfort of the room also didn't feel like a 4* experience. In addition, there were not enough Shezlongs on the beach so unless you got up really early in the morning you had to either put your towel on the sand or pay 15 euro for the paid Shezlongs next to the hotel area on the beach.

This hotel is part of a large complex of about six hotels. Half of which are closed. It is at the far end and is the smallest and closest to the beach. There is no pool so you have to use the one two hotels further along. There are plenty of sunbeds on local beaches and the terrace. The lobby is very attractive and our room, which had a large balcony, was comfortable, clean and well appointed. The food is plentiful but uninspiring - not dissimilar to motorway service area standard. The hot food is generally tepid, but soups and salad were good. The reception and room cleaning staff were friendly and helpful, but the majorly of the restaurant staff were surly and unsmiling. The vast majorly of guests were Romanians and Bulgarians, with a small number of Germans. However, most staff speak some English and all the signage is in English. Overall we enjoyed our stay but the hotel is certainly not 4* standard and is overpriced.
