Pros:

Great location close to the beach, we were on the ground floor so there was a bit of noise from the road but it was alright, the bed was incredibly comfy! We arrived very late in the night after a long travel delay but the staff kindly left our room key/check in details by the reception as it was closed by then. Thanks for a comfortable stay!

Pros:

This hotel has a location on a super busy stretch and parking, while limited, is available. Immediately when we arrived we encountered pickpockets and they are extremely brazen - watch your stuff! Hotel staff english was limited but they were helpful when we couldn’t work the room lights. Right next door is a mini market for snacks or beer you can bring to the garden. The hot tub isn’t exactly “hot” but a tepid plunge pool my son enjoyed. Tbh we didn’t love Varna which may colour my overall review; wish we would have stayed in Vama Veche a little further south.

Oda arka tarfta ek binadaydı. Geniş bir oda ama aydınlatma az kalıyordu, Konumu çok güzel, direk park ve plajın karşısı, yürümek ve denize girmek için iyi bir otel

Great location but no service with a smile
Pros:

Stayed here for a long weekend to visit a friend in Varna. The location was great, the beach and the public outdoor swimming pool were just across the street.

We had a room on the first floor. The room was otherwise spacious but the gap between one side of the bed and wall was tiny and you couldn’t move the bed, so no getting out of the bed from that side.
The bathroom was tidy, not very big but suffy. However, the water temperature changed from hot to cold while showering. Also the plumbing didn’t work so well.

The wifi was very bad so ended up not using it. The same goes for the breakfast. There was some choice at the breakfast buffet but the quality was poor so we only ate there once.

The staff was very stone faced, don’t expect a smile especially from the reception staff. Only one lady of the cleaning staff was returning a smile.

The best things about this hotel are the location and general cleanliness.

Pros:

The outside (building) fresh paint does NOT match interior condition. Staff was amazing and accommodating, they are the only reason I gave the two stars!
BUT the actual place is in urgent need of updating! Carpet was so gross we did not want to touch barefoot! I asked if we can change rooms, was shown another and it looked the same. The best I can describe it is a 60s-70s wall-to-wall dark blue mess, that has seen so much chemical treatment it felt like plastic! And yet still covered in stains and discolorations and stuff stuck in the plastic hairs of it…
If you plan to use couch - extremely uncomfortable and had all sorts of dips and lack of support and one could not lay flat properly.
Stay away! We will not be back!

Lo esperado.
Pros:

En general, bien. Sería fantástico que incluyeran amenities en el baño, aunque sea a demanda, para una urgencia. Se podrían trabajar un poco más el desayuno. Pero la localización es perfecta.

Poor service
Pros:

I was unfortunate enough to select this hotel for my month long stay in Varna.
While i agree its a budget hotel i expected beds you could sleep on rather than cheap foam mattresses which were the softest mattress i have ever slept on, a plug for the bathroom sink took 2 weeks to get, the bathroom mixer tap went from cold to scalding hence the need for a plug.
During torrential downpour i tried ordering food for delivery to the hotel, after failing i decided to ask the young receptionist but was meet with agression and downright cheek.
Breakfast was only just acceptable.
My company also booked a garage space due to the lack of fre parking round about, a few days before my departure i was advised this had not been paid by my company, on arriving at work i sent Belle Epoque an e mail asking for a copy of the garage invoice, no reply was received, on returning to the hotel in the evening i asked if they had received my e mail, another receptionist said yes but they had not replied as the parking invoice had been paid, the next day i was advised by the original receptionist it had not been paid, after a few more invoices and discussions the invoice was paid yet even after i left i received annoying e mails from the hotel regarding the garage bill which had been paid.

The good points, wifi was free and acceptable, hotel has a basic but useful outside seated area, room TV gave good selection of English channels though i was somewhat astounded to find pure porn on 5 of the channels, more so given the Belle Epoque describes itself as a family hotel.
Would i recommend the Belle Epoque, no i could not, it falls down on the basics, guest comfort, receptionist training, good manners and a few other basics one might expect.

NORMAL
Pros:

Hotel en Primera Linea de playa en Varna. Muy bonita habitación.
No me gustó que no cambien la ropa de cama ni las toallas hasta después de 3 dias. El desayuno podría ser mas variado. Si vas a estar 1 noche está bien, pero mas tiempo te recomiendo buscar una cafetería.

Pros:

Das Hotel war sehr schön. Eine alte Villa, alles neu renoviert. Das schönste Hotel weit und breit. Nur eine Straße vom Schwarzen Meer entfernt. Direkt am Anfang der Altstadt. Einzig die laute Straße direkt vor dem Hotel und die sehr, sehr laute Musik die ganze Nacht hindurch von der Cuba Bar am Strand war störend. Aber die Fenster sind hervorragend isoliert. Die Nachbarschaft kann einem leid tun.

Sorpresa in positivo
Pros:

Inizialmente intimoriti da precedenti recensioni negative sul rumore di strada e locali vicini, pur stando al piano rialzato e fronte strada abbiamo dormito benissimo. L'hotel è da poco stato rinnovato (doppi vetri): in generale piacecole e pulito. Disponibili le signore in reception e simpatiche quelle in sala colazione. Nello specifico è da rivedere la soluzione dei parcheggi (presenti 4 parcheggi ma in "doppia fila" con reperibilità fino le 12.00 nel caso andasse spostata). Un accordo con la municipalità o posteggi prepagati dall'hotel in loco sarebbero da preferire. Colazione ok nonostante pochissimo di "fresco" (frutta, pane) e alternative plant-based insistenti a meno che non ci si accontenti dei cetrioli :( Posizione comunque eccellente a due passi dal centro.

Belle Sejour a la Belle Epoque!
Pros:

Under external refurbishment, so not much peace during working hours, but otherwise well designed, modestly priced, quieter than expected from its main road location. Staff really helpful and speak good English. Excellent cleanliness. Overall, a relaxing and satisfying experience.

Pros:

This hotel is def not 4*! Expect badly maintained rooms with hanging wires and not working light switches, worn off bedding and dirty curtains. The sauna and jacuzzi didn’t work, the covid warnings signs are everywhere (not that anyone keeps them!), expect school guests to arrive at 3am and to creat a lot of havoc and noise, take over the small swimming pool. There are no signs like “don’t disturb” or “clean the room” - if you fail to respond to the door mocks, they will come in!
Staff was friendly tho and were doing what they can. This could be a much better hotel if someone cared.
