Blu Bay Hotel Sozopol

Great hotel, very clean

I’ve been visiting this hotel every year for the past 10 years and always considered it the best option in Sozopol – great location, close to town, and just a quick taxi ride to the trendy beach clubs. Unfortunately, this year I got an “upgrade” of a different kind. By booking through Expedia, I ended up with a tiny room and a view hardly worth looking at. Apparently, lower price = lower quality, and a decade of loyalty means absolutely nothing here. Too bad – I used to recommend this hotel to friends… now I’ll have to think twice myself.

The bedroom air conditioning did not work. Both televisions did not work. The toilet smelled of cigarrette smoke even after air freshener. They allowed a dog to swim in the pool. The breakfast buffet person was rude, unhelpful and charged for (1) coffee, which was reversed by the front manager, but left us with negative feelings. This was highly rated and more costly, but not worth it. We extensively travel Europe and Bulgaria, but this was such a disappointment.

Lovely hotel. Unfortunately they changed the air conditioning for heating the day we arrived which was totally unnecessary. It was incredibly hot during the night. Also we received an unscheduled guest at 10pm - the bellboy entered the room without knocking as he went to the wrong room. Was not impressed!

I recently stayed at this charming boutique hotel and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The hotel itself is small, but beautifully designed with a great interior that exudes both elegance and comfort. The restaurant on-site serves delicious food that truly exceeded my expectations, making dining in a real treat. The views from the hotel are simply mesmerizing, adding to the peaceful and serene atmosphere that makes it the perfect getaway. The service was exceptional—every staff member was very helpful and accommodating, going out of their way to ensure a pleasant stay. It was so delightful that I ended up extending my stay by an extra day. The location is also incredibly convenient, within walking distance to everything you could need or want to explore. Overall, this hotel is a hidden gem—quiet, charming, and an absolute pleasure to stay at. Highly recommended!
