The 1st room smelled of weed, so they had to change it. 5* hotel - no napkins in the room. Receptionist was like somebody was forcing to do her job: your passport please, here are the room keys, that’s all she said. The only positive was the Captain Cook restaurant - top notch!

Hotel Marinela -- Truly a Unique Experience!

The Hotel Marinela is truly unique, perhaps resembling a huge boutique hotel. The decor is unmatched, and maybe not to everyone's taste. But that's what has given the Marinela its special character all these years. The restaurants provide excellent offerings, the staff was extremely courteous, and my suite was outstanding!

Absolutely terrible, Hotel I will not stay there anymore. The service is horrible. It’s dirty everything it’s out of date. The only nice thing there was a nice Ferrari 4x4 and that it is nothing else, After I went I stayed in Hilton and Hilton. It’s hundred percent better Cleaner brand-new, excellent service, the stuff it’s very communicative. You cannot compare between Hilton.

A busy vibe all around. Choice of restaurants inside (i picked the Italian). Good food! Friendly staff. I had a room on the 16th floor. Great view, but in hinesight the 2th floor might have been more comfortable, due to the nightclub on a floor above the 16th. The bass was resonant in my room

The staff around the hotel do not acknowledge the guests. House keeping do not come around every day and i had to make a complaint to have my room cleaned, and only got a sorry from the manager. The restaurants and Japanese garden within the property were the best parts of my trip.

Ok nothing special!

First we got scammed by the taxi driver from the airport, he charge triple price from airport to hotel. We told the receptionist about the story, and she said we had to pay 8 Lev for city tax, are you sure about that I said ? And she said yes, a nice lady in check in. Have her a 20 bill, and got 10 back??!! And I said this is not right ? Well she didn’t got any coins?? First told about the taxi driver, and then the receptionist is doing the same thing?? Really bad experience!! Suddenly she had coins! Hotel is good, nothing special - breakfast is ok! Staff is more into checking private phones than doing service, at breakfast. Also the bar tender didn’t have coins, so he got 4 Lev in tips, even a tip is something a guest gives for good service, this guy just took it. The people in charge of this place should provide staff with coins - it gives a bad picture of the whole experience been a guest there!
