we stayed bed at breakfast at this hotel plenty to choose from for breakfast the dining room in on top of the hotel with great veiws. rooms cleaned every day location was excellent bars and resaurants on door step however you had no noise in your rooms about 5 min walk to beach only thing i thought was off was the fact you had to pay for sunbeds round the pool 5 lev each i know its not a lot but there were 6 of us and over 2 weeks it soon adds up we spent

We have returned this weekend from a great stay at the Meridian Hotel. We were a little dubious from the previous remarks left but need not have worried. The location is great, a few mins from the beach and so many shops, bars, restaurants, take aways very close by.

We had a small room overlooking the side enterance to the hotel which was fine for just the 2 of us. The shower room was a little small but then with just us 2 it was clean and adequate for us.

The towels were replaced daily and room was also cleaned then (not dusted but clean enough & bins emptied)

The breakfast was ok, same but such a variety they really could not do much else anyway. The evening meal was a different story, we only ate there once, the meal was warm, adequate but nothing more but with prices cheap and huge variety outside the hotel this is not really a problem.

Hi

Just returned from the Meridian and had a wonderful time, partly due to the excellence of this hotel.

Upon arrival we were allocated an Apartment room, overlooking the pool and looking out towards the sea.

The room was gigantic, a living area to one side with large panoramic windows and an area for me and my wife to sleep in, smallish balcony though. However the bathroon (after reading previous reports was superb, walk in showers, large sinks and pleanty of clean towels on a dail basis.

The hotel is situated in a quieter part of the resort but is only 10 mins max walk from the centre where all happens, with kids this is a godsend as it is quieter at night, that said there is plenty to do and the hotel is joined with The Corner Bar - which is a fantastic place at night - lots and lots of English in there. The hotel food is ok, I wouldnt say brilliant but plenty to choose from and a great panoramic restaurant on the hotel roof to sit in and look over sunny beach.

The Corner Bar and the Burgara (2 mins away) are superb bars, and very cheap. Beer in the resort is anything between 1 and 3 lev for Kamenitza and Wine is the Same.

Back to the hotel - the bar staff and the porters (Stoyan - Top man) are fantastic and great with the kids, the tattooist Micheal is amazing and did me 2 whilst I was there, there were people coming from the other side of the resort to visit him who had been to the Meridian the previous year - he is that good.

All in all a fantastic hotel, could probably do with some form of Night entertainment, however when there is so much to do in the resort - who the hell cares?

We are booking again to go to this hotel in September its that good.

Ohhh i didnt mention the pool - no problems getting round it as they are very conscious on people leaving towels etc and then going off.

Regards

Hi there.

Just returned from 2 weeks in Sunny Beach, staying at the Hotel Meridian. Not much has changed at this hotel since last year.

The look of the hotel is very European and modern and in a good location. As you enter the reception area of polished floor-tiles, glass and mirrors, a very friendly security guard greets you. The reception area has several comfortable chairs and tables, a 24-hour bar, souvenir shop, hairdressers, tattoo shop, Doctors and Internet room. The receptionists are very friendly and helpful and check in was a breeze, 2 minuets max. A very helpful and chatty porter took our cases and showed us to our room.

The rooms are of average size, with a TV, telephone, and air-conditioning and although we only had three coat hangers, plenty of storage on shelf

Just returned from a week in the Meridien. Very clean hotel, very modern and impressive to look at.

Lifts a nightmare sometimes, you had to wait for ages as they are quite small & are only supposed to take about 6 people max!!

Location great, lots to do.

We ate every morning and evening in hotel, nothing the kids could say they didn't like except don't leave too late to eat as queues!!

Staff very friendly and helpful, Angel still there and is definitely one!!!

Pool a problem, could NEVER get round it although we were told opens from 9am, there were the obligatory towels round earlier than that!! So we used the Arda hotel pool, great, not that busy and no-one questioned us!!

Entertainment??? There was none, only loud music on the reception floor.

Maids wonderful, did a great job.

When we first arrived we were on 9th floor, too high for us so we asked to move & next evening at 6pm we went down to 4th floor all moved by Angel himself, bless!!! Room was a lot better and bigger. Yes the bathrooms are wet rooms hence drain in middle of floor!! Round toilet seemed to leak though but didn't cause us any problems!! Air con a godsend though the way to do it is to leave your silver room number key in card slot when you go out so room is cool when you come back in!!!

Would definitely visit this hotel again.

This was the best hotel I have been in. All the staff were great I did not want to come home. I met a lot of friends there who I am still keep in touch with.

I am going again next year in 2008 as I can't go this year. Where this hotel is it is around great shops and everything is so cheap.

Everybody there makes you feel welcome and i recomend everyone who enjoys fun to go there. The food was great there and it was very clean the cleaners worked very hard.

We stayed bed and breakfast, which was upto standard expected, hotel was spotless and staff friendly, if you need medical attention the doctor is very helpful and really lovely to deal with.

Entertainment in hotel is non existent, but plent going on nearby, the picadilly is lovely, the staff and the food are outstanding, only decent cup of coffee in sunny beach.

Only problem was the pool, all sunbeds full by 8.00am and beds very close to the pool which makes it unsafe for non-swimmers walking around the edge of the pool.

All in all highly recommended.

The hotel was spotless you couldn't fault it, our room was cleaned everyday, which was good as the bathroom stunk like a sewer.

We only had breakfast there but there was plenty of choice, anyone who can complain about the breakfast is just too fussy.

The location of the hotel is great,plenty of bars and eating places, the picadilly is brilliant, I found the bell boys in reception really friendly, they loaded our cases onto the coach going home.

Entertainment was non existent which is a shame when you have children to entertain.

I would go back to the hotel, but it was getting a little rowdy before we come home, drinks being thrown off the balcony and massive family arguments on one floor at 3 in the morning.

On arriving at the hotel, the check in process was done very quickly, which was just as well as it was almost 2am. However, on opening our room door, a strong smell of damp hit us. We soon discovered that the carpet was soaked! On reporting this to reception, it became very clear that the gentleman on reception at this particular time wasn't interested in doing anything about our problem there and then and we were told to go back to reception later that morning! On doing this, we were met with a much more helpful lady who got the maids up there with a vax to remove as much water as they could out of the carpet, the smell then finally went away once the carpet was dry. (The wet carpet was caused by heavy rain they had the day before be arrived, either the balcony door had been left open or the windows leaked!)

The hotel in general was clean although the pool area was dirty sometimes, and it wasn't cleaned until people were already soaking up the sun beside the pool! The lifts often had dirty floors which were also wet where people get in them with wet feet, so be careful. This is the same with the downstairs floor in some places, it can become rather slippery.

There would appear to be far too many loungers for the room around the pool. This results in everyone being smack bang next to you which can be rather annoying.

We have to say that we really wasn't impressed with the food. Breakfast seemed to be the same day in day out. We can't comment on the evening meal as we only ate in the hotel once as everything we put on our plate turned out to be cold! It's so cheap to eat out though we really wasn't bothered. Forest Hut, next to The Corner Pub was lovely, we almost lived in there! Picadilly, oposite The Corner Pub was really nice as well. There is so much choice in the restaurants.

The location of the hotel wasn't too bad at all, plenty of restaurants around and only a short walk to the beach.

The hotel staff were very helpful on the whole and always done their best to resolve any problems which you may have.

Unfortunately, there isn't any entertainment in the hotel itself and even around the resort, other than the restaurants and bars, there really isn't much going on. The waterpark was good fun though, not very big, but it certainly amused us for a few hours!

Although we would certainly go back to the resort, we would more than likely try another hotel next time, perhaps one with some entertainment.

Was very worried about staying in Sunny Beach after all the horror stories I read, but both are hotel rooms was excellent.

Thought I was in the pent house it was so big .it was very clean, maid was very pleasant. Loads of wardrobe and storage space.

The bars round hotel very friendly always spoke and told you to have a good day. Close to beach. Good views from balcony. All the staff very friendly at reception, dining room. Porters helpful with cases. Food ok if there wasn
