Hotel Alba Reviews

This was the 1st time we had been to Bulgaria. Weare a young couple in our 20's. Hotel location is excellent, couldnt get any closer if you wanted too. Very clean and staff are pleasant. Made also made swans out of our towels, and there is a bell boy to carry your luggage. we were B&B, but breakfast was not up to much. Not much of a cooked English breakfast, which you need to soak up the booz from the night before.

this was our first visit to bulgaria, hotel was fantastic, rooms cleaned daily, very friendly,had no problems getting a sun bed.stayed half board, breakfast was average eveywhere so cheap to eat we only ate one day in the hotel.resort far better than what we expected,Far..a bar did fantastic meals and cheap beer[1 leve a pint local larger] enjoyed it so much we've booked to go back in september

Was a bit dubious about the country, resort and hotel after reading varied reviews.

We stayed 2 weeks half board and the hotel was very good. Maid was very sweet, towels changed daily but bed linen weekly. Air conditioning worked well and was needed. Rooms large and clean.

Restaurant - food varied and plentiful. As much as you can eat. Soups/salads/hot food (about 5 different varieties)/ fruit/desserts/tea to choose from. Second week food exactly the same as first week! Flies on food were a problem but we worked on the basis of not taking anything from the top!

Gym overstated - a dingy room that smelt of damp and a few machines that looked ancient.

Good idea to do a few trips as you're not really seeing the real Bulgaria in Sunny Beach.

We thought the resort was very well equipped. Plenty of bars, restaurants and much to do like golf buggies, electric scooters and the beach has varied water sports. Everything very cheap compared to home! Could all change when they join the EU next year. Also the resort is not overcrowded.

First stay in The Alba after 8 previous visits to Sunny Beach and I was a little disappointed that this 2 year old hotel had much that needed attention, although much was just my room rather than the entire hotel.

Air con was not working properly, and friends staying on a different floor had the same problem. Mini bar was never stocked or even plugged in during my entire stay, and at no time of day or night could I get enough hot water to take a bath. Shower ran cold after 2 minutes and 90% of the time I had to shave in cold water.

Pool was nice, but cold.
Breakfast was good with a wide selection and always plenty to go round.
Hotel doctor was fantastic as I did have a health problem that put me in hospital. (Nothing to do with the hotel I may add.)

Sunny Beach has certainly changed over the last 8 years and has grown from a scruffy little kid, to a petulant young teenager with attitude and it is a resort to match anywhere else in Europe now for nightlife, and for the best beaches if you like yours clean with warm sea.

All-in-all Sunny Beach was fantastic once again.

Alba ----- not quite as good as I had expected.

HI Just back on frid from Sunny Beach, really enjoyed everything about the hotel and the resort.

Hotel lovely and clean, rooms a good size, maids in every day with fresh towels, which she sculpted into swans and left them on our beds, a nice touch. Found the pool area really nice, we went there every day as i dont like sand, my 3year old enjoyed pottering about in the kiddies pool, which could be a bit cold first thing in the morning, heated up later in the day, beds had to be booked before 10am or they were hard to get. the pool bar serves drinks at a really reasonable price and have happy hours on beers and cocktails, you can get a pizza for two delivered to your sunbead for 5 leva (£1.60) and baked potatoes for 4 leva.

We found the Condor resturant really nice to eat in and mega cheap(next to post office) The orion karioke bar is a good laugh but a bit dingy, Central cafe, Ali babbas are really nice for a few beers in the evening. The beach looked clean but very busy, bars around beach area also cheap and comfortable. Keep a few stinkies change for toilets. Lots of bargains to be had if u like fake goods. I took a bottle of diluting juice for my son, i had been warned that thier orange is very bitter, i just bought water and added the juice, no one bothered.

Phones at telecome building next to post office very reasonable, you get ages for next to nothing, dont phone from hotel and change money at hotels, we seen people being ripped off at booths.

Had a fb time will be going back again soon and would definately use this hotel again.
