Arda Reviews

Hotel Arda. Rooms very small and but clean. If you want to sleep at night do not stay in this hotel, the bars and pool from the next hotel have loud music playing until at least 3:30am. Pharmacy 200m away sells earplugs if you want to give it a go. Food in hotel not great but nearby cafes are not expensive. Pool is constantly freezing (not just cold) which put a lot of people off. Some staff freindly others not so forthcoming. I do beleive that you only get what you pay for and i didnt expect the hilton for this price but at the Arda you will definitly get less than what you pay for.

This was our 2nd time in Bulgaria,the 1st being in Elenite.Having already booked b4 we read reviews on this hotel we were apprehensive. However we have had a great time. The hotel is on the south side of Sunny Beach and is a 10 minute walk to the centre, the walk along the beach is great and you don't get pestered. The hotel staff were excellent we couldn't fault the service and we were made very welcome, the rooms although basic were roomy and clean.The food in the hotel was good, but it is very cheap to eat out. The Lotus and the Old House are excellent as is The Four Towers in the centre.

We realised that we had gone to Bulgaria too early in the season as not many places were open in the area but it did not spoil anything. The weather was changeable the 1st wk sunny mornings overcast aft. but the 2nd wk was brilliant sunshine.

We will be recommending this hotel to our friends as for a 2star budget hotel we found it to be better than some 4star hotels we have been to.

hotel arda sunny beach ,july 2005, weather mixed, 5 days heavy rain, 4 days 90 degrees, 3 days, cloudy, resort ,food good ,and cheap along with drink and cigarettes, pr, annoying every cafe or bar has them along with every shop , you cannot stop at a shop without someone pestering you to buy something.the beach is clean ,water cold, although they are not private, if you do not take a sunbed 8 levs, you will be asked to go to the back of the beach, the resort is meant to be crime free,but you will be asked several times a day to change money by shady characters,

the hotel itself is basic the rooms though small are kept clean, the bar is small,but 24hrs, the pool is kept clean although cold, the hotel is very noisy with rave music from the neighbouring poolbar from 9 am to 12pm , the noise travels through the hotel from adjacent rooms and floors and we had to move room after 3 nights of little sleep,

the hotel caters for groups of young scandinavians 18-30 so you can imagine it is not going to be a quiet holiday , the staff are friendly to a point , the managment of this family run hotel were reluctant to take any action when some young danes started fighting round the pool area despite the protests of a lot of british holidaymakers, the food again is basic and better outside, to summarize, my wife and are no prudes but the hotel arda is best left for the 18-30 age group and not people wanting a quiet holiday we left the resort 3 days early totally dissatisfied ,paid £100 to go and had to pay our own taxi to the airport as the coach did not appear to pick us up, we made the plane just,

we will not be back!
