Stefan Karadzha Holidays from £272

This is a newer (2019) hotel, centally located, in a very old neighborhood. The staff tries very hard to create a high level of guest experience. The restaurant offers excellent food. Our room was on the 4th floor...but the elevator only goes to 3. Our room was large & comfortable. It had 2 balconies and nice, sunny southern exposure. The room was noisey...some neighborhood noise. And there was an apparent heating system overhead that made contant, low volume noise. The hotel is air conditioned.

If you're looking for a nice hotel in the midst of both a mountain and sea environment then you're at the right place. A big bonus is that you are able to enjoy the hustle and bustle of the resort and then return to the hotel and get a good night's sleep as it is situated somewhere quiet and peaceful. There is a good and varied choice of food at each mealtime and the waitering and bar staff (Dimitar, Miglen, Severin) are all very friendly and helpful. There are two twins also that make fresh pancakes and eggs in front of you outside at breakfast and throughout the day. Restaurant manager Darina could have been a bit friendlier towards both guests and staff but she did her job ensuring there was no nonsense in the restaurant. The cleaning ladies were also lovely. The swimming pool is nice and clean, not too crowded and sun loungers etc free of charge to use. Hotel is situated not too far from the beach, about a 10 minute walk. There are a number of steps on the way which we didn't complain of as we wanted to burn off the all-inclusive. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend Hotel Havana.
