This is a 3.5 star hotel at best. The hotel is old and not maintained properly. The thing that put me off more than anything else was that they did not change the sheets when they serviced the room every day. They just made the beda using the same sheets. They also kept forgetting to leave enough towels. The staff is nice and friendly and the beach is nice. Was not super impressed with the breakfast. The downstairs cafe was nice.

Old hotel but still good. Fantastic location.

Admiral is an old hotel but still looks great and I am fond of it. I like location, the great outside swiming pool which is close to the beach. I also like the cafe, very good espresso and freshes. Of course, the hotel is not a five star one, not anymore, but is still clean and comfy. Great sea view. Receptionist was cold, unfriendly, even a bit rude. Paid for parking 15 lev per day at Admiral Apartaments, large parking, easy access, friendly staff. Never found a place in hotel parking. Beach is not for hotel has to pay for sunbed and umbrella to use.

Chambre insalubre, manque de réactivité par rapport au problèmes. Buffet du soir qui tient plus de l'industriel réchauffé que cuisiné. Sinon bien situé dans le resort et personnel assez agréable dans l'ensemble. Je n'ai pas testé les divers services (sauna, ect,..)

Not a 5 star anymore.

Fantastic location. The hotel was maybe 5 star in 1980, but not now. It's a old hotel with the wallpapers falling down. We called the hotel to order a taxi from the airport for 6 people. The reception said it only possible with two taxi. So we said okey. But when the collected us at the airport one of the taxi had 7 seats. So we have to pay double to the hotel. We arrived at the room it was so dirty under the beds so they had to clean it again. The breakfast was okey but dinner was not 5 star. Total lack of service in the reception.

Hôtel vetuste et sale. A fuir !

Cet hôtel est daté, vetuste. Quasiement ttes les installations sont défraîchis (salle de sport, salle à à manger, Spa) Le petit dejeuner est peu varié et on ne peut plus commun. Très peu de fruit, café degeu, personnels de service fatigués. Concernant la propreté devinez quoi : J'ai attrapé des puces de lits ! Résultats--> des boutons qui grattent pour plusieurs jours. La localisation est l'un des aspects positifs mais attention aux bruits: concert jusqu'à 23h, fête foraine etc. Conclusion : à fuir !!! Pour le prix c'est du VOL !
