Hotel Bulair

We mistakenly thought the hotel is 3 stars due to the Booking website star rating put up by the hotel themselves, however Google says it's 2 stars and this seems more appropriate. Pros: 1. Excellent location, really close to the city centre and the beach 2. Good customer service - the staff are nice and helpful 3. Some parking spots available around the hotel, so we had no issues in this regard 4. You can hear seagulls from the room, which I personally like 5. Air conditioning works well enough to keep the summer heat away 6. Mini-fridge available if you want to keep something fresh in there. However, it is on only when you are in the room, as the electricity is on only when your key card is placed in the room in the designated slot. So mostly this can be used overnight. Cons: 1. Not good on clealiness. - The shower curtain was yellow at the bottom - The bathroom itself emitted strong and unpleasant sewage odours coming from, what I'm guessing is, oldish pipes and stuff. To minimise the odours you can keep the bathroom door shut and avoid using the bathroom fan, which makes it stronger too. - The carpet is dirty. I walked in clean white socks on it and they became brownish from it. - The pillows and pillow cases had some yellow staining on them. I think that they were washed but just that it's time that they are changed, as this doesn't seem hygienic at all. 2. I thought we (me and my partner) were booking a double room with one bed for both of us. However, it turned out that there were two separate beds (fixed to opposite walls). You have to make sure to clarify this beforehand if you want to avoid sleeping separately. 3. The beds weren't very comfortable. My partner found it too small for him, as it appeared more kid-sized than adult-sized, so not enough leg room really. Personally, I found the mattress was a bit hard for my liking (some hard bits in it gave me a bit of lower-back pain), but not terrible, so mid quality sleep can be achieved. I also felt a faint cigarrette odour from the mattress itself (it's a no smoking room), but as this was faint, it didn't bother me that much. 4. Some loud noises at times can be heard too from outside, which may bother some people. The hotel is indeed on a street, so this seemed expected and not an issue for me. 5. The interior of the room and the furniture are quite oldish looking and like there haven't been any renovations for 20 years or so. The wallpaper was peeling in some places. Overall, the best positive is the location. If they make some improvements to the rooms in terms of cleanliness and furniture, the rating could improve. There may be differences from room to room, as I see many positive reviews as well, but both rooms 301 and 302 were in the same condition, as described above.

The staff are very friendly and nice. However because they are only there from 8am-8pm this means that you can have a couple of small issues, such as no breakfast if you leave before 8, e.g early flight or train. The room was comfy, I had the studio/suite and it was larger than some of the images I've seen here. There were a couple of issues in the room: it's very hot and the radiator is always on. There are safes in the room, but you have to pay extra to use them? Its odd and I've never seen that before. The location is excellent, so easy to get to town, the beach or the bus/train station. The location is noisy, the street outside has lots of noise on it, especially people racing motorbikes.

Lovely hotel, perfect location if you need to be close to the train station or South bus station. Great and friendly service, the breakfast was included and made-to-order (not a buffet) there's a 24 hour shop next to the hotel and a good restaurant 5 minutes away. The room was ok, comfy bed, spacious and clean. Just the carpet is average and pulls the vibes down. I would stay again.

Really nice little hotel in central Burgas. It's on a main road but quiet inside, all very new and freshly decorated. Reception was friendly, room was clean with everything needed including aircon and fridge, plus insect net on the window. Breakfast downstairs was quick and tasty, omelette with "yellow" cheese. Nice coffee too. A bargain for the price I paid (about 70 BGN).
