Victoria Hotel Nessebar

My daughter and I stayed here for a week. The hotel is small and friendly, not without old-fashioned charm, I quite liked the ambiance. On the plus side it has a view of the old fortress overlooking the sea, and there are plenty of shops, cafes, bars and restaurants within a few minutes walk. (But see note below). Also a small supermarket one street away and an ice cream kiosk next door. The shower was piping hot, the air con worked, staff were friendly and helpful with info. Clean fairly comfortable beds. Negative points: My daughter is quite good with tech gadgets but neither of us could figure out the Bulgarian flat screen TV. All we could manage was a blue screen showing the names of the channels and a channel menu. It wasn't a major issue as I only wanted an English news channel. The coffee machine broke down twice, and orange juice ran out on day 5. Cooked breakfast options were limited - precooked boiled eggs or scrambled egg twice, smallish bits of precooked bacon three times - but this was often either very fatty or very gristly. The continental Bulgarian style cold options were quite nice - cereals, local yogurt, packaged choc croissants and some small cakes and biscuits featured. Along with delicious salty feta and small mixed olives, fresh tomatoes and cucumber, plus cold meats and salami, pates, breads, and various fresh fruits. I saw a few teas, plus two kinds of jam portions and honey. Our twin room (with a sea view - just!) was very small - one chair squeezed into a corner. Maybe just enough room to swing a mouse. The toilet was a small wet room so we needed to use the toilet before the floor beside the pedestal got soaked... And there was no plug for the sink. Overall it was ok, and we did enjoy staying in a traditional hotel rather than a modern high rise soulless block. The location was very good, five minutes walk to the centre of the old town, only ten minutes walk to the bus and taxi stop at the small harbours. NOTE: the restaurant "Seasons" bistro on the terrace directly opposite the hotel is not part of the Victoria. I went in once for a drink but was ignored so I left. When I checked reviews the bistro scored very low - poor service and poor value for money. T

Absolutely do not recommend eating at Bistro seasons which is the restaurant for this hotel. Cold food. 2 meals arrived together then we had to wait for the other 2 meals for quite some time that the first 2 had nearly finished theirs! Chips were cold, there was no one to speak to, no one asked if the food was ok. Rude staff man and woman and wouldn’t allow us to pay by card for a very overpriced meal yet we were never told we had to pay by cash on entering or when we asked for the bill

This is a wonderful little gem of a hotel in old Town Nessebar. We stayed in Room 24 overlooking the bay, st vlas and sunny beach. The breakfast was good with plenty of choice. Near to everything in the old town, plenty of place to eat at reasonable prices. Would we stay there again, most definitely.

We had book this hotel 2019 but due to covid 19 we couldn't make it until now, we arrived Saturday 25th June 2022. What a wonderful hotel, the staff are excellent and service is second to none. Rooms are clean and tidy, with attentive maids. We would recommend the amazing continental breakfast which is laid out fresh every morning. Perfect local to explore the old nessebar town, and take in the sites, bars and restaurants.
