Hotel Trakata

The new owners seem to be doing a great job. This is my second stay, and the room was super clean and smelled lovely. All the rooms have an amazing sea view. They also offer room service, and the food quality and presentation were among the best I've had in a while.

The rooms were clean, but the way we were treated was annoying. He first quoted 50 leva, then, after hearing my husband speak a foreign language, said the 50 leva rooms were taken and raised the price to 60 leva. He paced around the restaurant, talking loudly on the phone, and served us while still on the call. He kept trying to joke around, which got on my nerves most of the time.

The restaurant was the one plus: the food was fresh, good, and made on the spot, and the women working there were very nice. But smoking was allowed there too, as it was everywhere. With the air conditioner running, the smoke was even worse. We visited Bulgaria last year and unfortunately had to stop at this hotel. The owners were rude, spoke neither English nor Russian, and aggressively demanded that we speak Bolgarian. Our room was cleaned only after I insisted and left the garbage bin at reception. I don't recommend it.

The hotel has been completely renovated and is a great place to stay. It's the best hotel in town and not too far from the city center.
