Thanks. Everything is ok.

The hotel’s central location is great, which is a boon for travelers. But in this case, it doesn’t end there; Efbet Hotel is surrounded by almost anything anyone might need - restaurants, bars, abbonda shopping, a theater and an opera house. And as if all that wasn’t enough, the beech is only minutes away, as is access to the railway station, buses and taxis. The hotel itself has a games saloon, bar and restaurant. The security arrangements are laudable, as is the easy access ironing board and free internet. The cleanliness standards are excellent as the staff, who are very discreet, polite a nd professional. All in all, Efbet Hotel is a rare find , even for an experienced traveler like me. Impressive.

Most staff are friendly and helpful. A few are not and worryingly despise foreigners. My partner is Bulgarian - they didn't realise she was and so heard some shocking comments coming from waiters discussing other non-Bulgarian guests. Too graphic to repeat here. But luckily isolated to a couple of instances at the foyer bar. Rooms are fine, a bit dated decor but clean and functional. Try not to be too picky.. this is good quality Bulgarian standard, but will not directly compare to Western 4 or 5 Star standards. It will be around 3 Star if viewed through that prism. Location fantastic, hotel amenities good, things like the Spa are hugely overpriced by Bulgarian standards - 40-50 Euros for a 60min massage is what we pay in big cities in Western Europe. Just be prepared. At time of writing there's a huge construction site opposite and noise starts around 7am. If your visit is later in 2019 then maybe finished by then.
