Reviews for Aqua Hotel
Review 1:Spa open from 10 AM to 9 PM , however after 8 PM may be difficult to find something still warm. We choose this hotel for this commodity and were disapointed
Review 2:- I still can smell smoke, even in non-smoking room - cleanliness of room was not so good
Review 3:- location of the hotel - underground garage was free - breakfast (open bufet)
Review 4:the staff speaks only English in a city where 35% speak Russian,minibar too expensive, prices written only in Bulgarian, the food is not very good
Review 5:clean rooms
Review 6:A bit noisy because of the ship construction area. Not possible to open the windows - you either sleep with AC on (not nice at all), or you are sweating all the night.
Review 7:Incredible bad internet connection (not protected and obviously the whole neighborhood is using this). On top of this large travel groups in the hotel. Staff reluctant to start with the breakfast, as if it were a state-owned hotel.
Review 8:Nice rooms and a good breakfast offer.
Review 9:Bad service at the reception. The girl who checked us in was unpolite and rude. We did not get answers to any simple tourist questions and felt ourselves unwelcomed. The water in the toilet ran all the time, so we had to swith it off manually. To top it all, we did not understand why the hotel is called "Aqua" as they don't have any swimming pool and the spa service was based just on the few basic massage options ..
Review 10:Situated right near the train station and busstops
Review 11:Smell of smoke in non-smoking room. No free water in the room or at the floor. Extremely small parking.
Review 12:We booked half-lux, but hotel gave us apartments. Good breakfast. Extra wide bed in apartments. We slept with child and there was enough place for someone else.
Review 13:They had a party at the hotel, the toilet wasn't cleaned in my room when I first arrived, the water in the shower smelled like chlorine, the breakfast was terrible and the staff was really rude.
Review 14:I DIDNT LIKE ANYTHING AT THE HOTEL
Review 15:I recommend this hotel and have stayed here on every visit to Varna. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The hotel is very clean and of a good standard. The staff are very efficient. Beautiful spacious room and huge bed if you choose a suite!
Review 16:the lobby bar shuts much to early 10 pm ,after a day working or sight seeing its nice to relax in the lobby bar,not to be in your room ready for bed at 10 pm.
Review 17:Hotel theme colour was blue, including light shades in room which meant the room was not light enough. Convenient for station, but walk up to city centre was through street that weren't well lit at night.
Review 18:Good location near the station, on busy road but double glazing meant it was quiet enough. Helpful staff.
Review 19:Bed not so comfortable, only one toilet paper roll in room per day, only one wall socket for charging batteries
Review 20:Key position (close to railways station, but not noisy), rich breakfast, large room (with balcony) as I requested, very good free wi-fi in all hotel area
Review 21:Let me make a list for you: 1. The room was filthy. Beds, carpet, shower, dirt everywhere. 2. The room was dissapointing for a 4-star hotel (I assume that's how I'm supposed to judge it). It had really old furniture and it looked more like a prison than a hotel room. 3. The staff. The girl on the night shift didn't even bother to greet us, when we said 'Hi'. And when we arrived, the luggage person just stood there watching us. 4. Our room didn't even have toilet paper and when we called and asked for it, they gave us an obvisously used roll!! I have stayed in 2-star hotels that are way better than this disgrace. Seriously dissapointing.
Review 22:Hard to find something we liked. The girl on the reception (during the day) was friendly, but that's very basic.
Review 23:Nothing
Review 24:The hotel was lovely easy to find. The staff were very helpful the rooms very clean and comfortable beds. Lovely and quite great night sleep, would stay there again. 7/10.
Review 25:It would be a lie if i have any negative comments to add.
Review 26:Everything was perfect during my 3 days stay. Room was sanitary clean and comfortable as well as noise isolated. The quality of food was excellent,same goes for the variety. All staff members are friendly and always willing to help. Dido and the female receptionist that checked me in and was a night shift on 13.08 are real professionalists. One thing I know for sure,if I am going to Varna again I won't be looking for hotels to stay. Because Aqua Hotel will be my choice without hesitation.
Review 27:The receptionists are in need of some training to be more cmmunicative and welcoming. I guess it is part of the Bulgarian culture and way of dwaling with things so nothing to blame really.
Review 28:The hotel is located in a great place opposite the train station and only 10 minutes away from the beach. The rooms were cleaned every day and it is in the highest comfort.
Review 29:we had neighbours with loud tv all night long, then the morning after tv was loud on the other side so we realised that walls are very thin... Groups in the hotel, so not very quite ambient.
Review 30:elegant, huge breakfast, good beds
Review 31:The main advantage of the hotel is location. All things are at walking distance. The hotel stuff is very kind and polite. I had to ask for late check-out and they allowed me to stay longer without usual half night stay payment. That was awesome. Definitely, see you again.
Review 32:I didn't like the fact that there is not at least one place for smokers, place where you can stay and have a coffee and a cigarette.
Review 33:The employees are always ready to serve you, always very polite and smiling. It is very clean. I think it is a fair balance between quality and price.
Review 34:Very old, needs some serious updating. Whole feel is very outdated.
Review 35:Across the street from the train station, great for a one night stay before an early morning train
Review 36:The food wasn't wonderful - having just been to Italy and France where the food was wonderful it was a bit of a let down in the Aqua.
Review 37:My room was super - I went to Varna for a wedding with friends and the hotel looked after us very well. The location was OK - not far from the beach and the town centre. I would go again for a holiday on my own as the staff at the hotel were so friendly.
Review 38:it was quite a basic hotel. definitely not 4*. However it was clean.
Review 39:the staff were excellent, helpful, welcoming and friendly. The restaurant served good food and they were very flexible with the menu.
Review 40:Room was too hot and noisy (thin walls), you can hear easily hear your neighbors and water running in bathroom.
Review 41:Location, breakfast, friendly stuff.

Review 62:Location Value for money Breakfast Complimentary water in room
Review 63:Bed is too small
Review 64:Can be a bit noisy in the sauna.....
Review 65:Good location Great amenities
Review 66:Aqua hotel but NO swimming pool or Jacuzzi . No aqua except fish paintings on the wals !!!
Review 67:Underground parking A +
Review 68:The internet in the room did not work. The staff restarted the router but it still did not work. The staff could be a bit nicer and smile a bit more. The location is NOT in a nice neighborhood, it is near the train station and all the buildings around look dirty and worn-down.
Review 69:I loved the room's size and cleanliness. The restaurant is very good, the food is delicious, the waiters at the restaurant are awesome, very polite and kind.
Review 70:Staff did not listen to our requests, we did not get the rooms we paid for. Should never be advertised as a four star hotel, a poor two star would be more adequate
Review 71:The location only
Review 72:1. Location - while it is only a bit off the central hotel district, it is very convenient if you are coming by car, close to key junction. The hotel provides free parking. Right next to the hotel is a good gas station (OMV). 2. Value for money - definitely excellent value for the money we paid. 3. Friendly staff - we asked for a room not overlooking the main road and we got it.
Review 73:Although breakfast was good dinner was just adequate and not hot as we would have liked. As bar was in the restaurant that finished serving at nine this did not encourage anyone to sta and drink at the bar, management might want to look at this point.
Review 74:location was good, a few mins from the centre or the promenade. Room was comfortable. Breakfast was good with a large selection.
Review 75:Food was horrible, room was cold and I could not get it warm. The walls where paper thin and the man next door snored so load I was kept awake for 2 nights. I would not want anyone to stay here again
Review 76:The staff where very good. Too good for the hotel
Review 77:My room lacked shampoo and basic shower products, as well as Internet at most points. Some inside hotel noises can be heard occasionally. The breakfast is various, but not particularly tasty - it is OK if you have moderate expectations from the start. The train station area is frequented by suspiciously looking people at night, so make sure to take safety precautions or taxe a taxi when returning late.
Review 78:This is a very modest hotel, ideal for a 1-2 nights sleepover. Close to the center (10 min), the Sea Garden and the main tourist attractions. The rooms are clean, no noise from the outside. Make sure you try the massage offers in the hotel spa - very cheap and extremely relaxing.
Review 79:The price in summer is subject to change... 86.50 leva /night at 11.08.2013 and 170 EUR/ night at 15.08.2013!!!
Review 80:Our stay at Aqua is always pleasant.
Review 81:Hotel advertizes all inclusive deals.this consists of breakfast, lunch, evening meal. You have to pay extra for drinks.even water. This is not an all inclusive deal. Its actually full board..so their advert is misleading.
Review 82:Breakfast and staff.
Review 83:The Internet connection was available only in the lobby.
Review 84:The hotel offers big rooms, the lobby is comfy, there is a smoking area near the entrance.It's not expansive and in a walking distance from the main city attractions. You don't need to take taxi at night.
Review 85:Dirty ( I found a used condom on the floor) Staff not efficient ( They didn't iron properly my shirt) Services poor( no soap for shower, and no iron in the hotel)
Review 86:Good position
Review 87:Our room wasn't ready when we arrived so we had to wait 30 minutes.A receptionist (male) wasn't efficient enough.
Review 88:Location - near railway station
Review 89:It is right across the street from the train station and about a 7 or 8 minute walk (uphill) to the main cathedral. You can take a city bus from the train station to the cathedral and onward to the bus station. The breakfast is good value, the supper had a large variety of Bulgarian foods.
Review 90:It would be nice if there was an indoor swimming pool.
Review 91:The situation ot the hotel is very good, in the center of the city, next to the shopping and business area. The staff was very polite and helpful. The room war warm and comfortable. I would come again in this hotel.
Review 92:The window in room 509 couldn't be locked.That was making the roomnoisy. Room need refreshing as well because the air inside was not nice
Review 93:There is available parking place Bathroom was clean and nice Staff wasvery friendly
Review 94:Location on a busy main street. The bar / restaurant closes at 10 pm, therefore it is totally false that they claim here that it is open 24 hours ! Staff in restaurant started to clear away the evening buffet at only 930 pm (even though they only close at 10 pm). Restaurant staff not particularly friendly, somebody needs to tell them to lighten up ! Breakfast very poor, 'orange juice' was just cheap orange squash.
Review 95:Good location only 10 minutes walk from shopping area of Varna, staff at reception friendly and helpful, room functional but fine.
Review 96:Requested a double bed when I booked, did not get it,despite there beinglots of available rooms at the time of booking. On entering the foyer,my wife and I could not access the stairs to the lift, due to a party ofturkish people blocking our way. They were sitting on the steps, withtheir luggage. I asked them politley to move as we wanted to use thelift. They arrogantly said no as they would be using the lift when allthere group had checked in.i said ok but as the lift is not being used Iwill use it now.this woman said I would have to wait.i told her not totell me what to do. At this the security guard came over and the turkstold hlm I was trying to cause trouble,at this the guard put his hand onhis baton and aproached my wife and I in a very aggressivemanner.however I stood my ground and told him I was going first on thelift. This I did and that was the end of the incident.i have been to theaqua numarous times but will not be going back.
