This is a really nice hotel right in the centre of town close to the beach, eating establishments and lovely walks (beach and park). It is next to a Casino if that is your thing but this is a nice hotel, super convenient, no noise in the rooms and just a very pleasant European beach style. It has given me a real warmth for Bulgaria.

A very nice hotel in the center of Varna. There are many dining options nearby and the hotel itself has a restaurant and bar as well. The breakfast buffet is great and provides lot's of different options, both sweet and savoury. The rooms are rather large and fitted with air conditioners. I will definitely visit again.

Great location, but smelled like cigarettes.

The hotel’s location was perfect. The only issue was that the entire hotel smelled like cigarette smoke. Although, it was non-smoking, it must have allowed smoking at one time and for a long time, because it just seemed to be entrenched.

Communist era hotel.

This hotel is a relic of the communist era, it is a rather ugly grey tower that is about to get a long overdue revamp. The employees are on the whole a rather dour bunch, and due to the Coronavirus they meke it quite obvious they'd rather not be there.. If youre thinking about getting room service, then i'd maybe think again, as the food is probably the worst hotel food ive ever had, but there is a nice restaurant that faces the hotel lobby. The rooms are decent enough, and the hotel is ideally situated for the city centre and beach front, with great views across the city and bay, but its below par breakfast lets it down, even if it is competitively priced.

This hotel will be outstanding when finished!!

A friend and I were traveling around Bulgaria and booked a couple nights at this hotel. Google maps brings you to a large plaza at the front of the building but it is closed for cars. We tried to find a way to get around the plaza (which takes up several blocks on two sides of the hotel) to the parking garage but couldn’t find a way. We finally found a policeman who showed us the way. The hotels front desk says if one enters the name of the street behind the hotel into Google Maps the directions will get you there. Unfortunately I don’t know the name to provide it here. The hotel is about 40 years old and is in the process of renovation. At present there isn’t an elevator from the garage to the hotel so you must walk your bags up to the service entrance which in turn leads to the lobby. Our room was on the 10th floor and was very nice and very comfortable. The breakfast buffet is outstanding!
There are several restaurants on the plaza in front of the hotel and two or three gelato places too. The plaza also has lots of shops and was great fun to wander along.

This is not a 4 star hotel, at best a 2 star...

This place is a disaster. A communist built hotel with communist era type service. No working WiFi despite what is advertised. Pimps hanging around outside hassling you about just about everything. The location is decent. Service is \"take or leave it\" attitude. I am pretty sure they charged me twice for the stay, once cash and they hit my card up once I left the place (my bank confirmed this)... be very careful with this place. BTW, charged me more than a dollar to print my boarding pass, just to add insult to injury. I would not stay here if it was the last joint around the Black Sea... I would change my plans and go somewhere else. I was here on business and had no choice.

Upgraded old communist place with the best views

So this place was build by the communists and is probably still run by the same people. Still its upper floors are renovated, the higher standard rooms have amazing views over the city and rooms are large. Staff definitely can do with a course of efficiency but at the price per night - its a fall-back from the more expensive options in town.

Great location

Not satisfied with the stay. The hot water was'n hot enough, that posess a risk of norovirus. I've asked the reception to mend or replace the broken T V in my room. Nothing has been done, maybe because of my short stay. The choice of breakfast buffet was rather small. Fortunatelly there is Costa cafe and local bakeries around offers tasty cheese pastry. Otherwise great location, very close to the sea and shopping lines.

Stay away!

I was really disappointed by this hotel. They charged us significantly more than they quoted on both the website and on the sign at reception (including fees and taxes). If you pay by card there is a 9% fee! The hotel was part of a seedy casino and the rooms were uncomfortable and smelt of smoke. There was no sheets or blankets on the bed- we were only provided an inner sheet. The beds were like rocks and the Internet didn't work. The one redeeming feature is it was close to the beach.

Hotel Cherno

Overall, I enjoyed my stay with the Hotel Cherno More (Black Sea), and found it to be a pleasant location very close to the Sea Garden, and downtown Varna, close to restaurants, shops and night life. While the hotel itself is showing its age, and in need of some minor repairs and tender loving care, the room was very clean, and with the exception on one day (partially our fault due to a late start) housekeeping was very prompt and courteous. The overall hotel was clean, but had few to none of the amenities that the average 'western' visitor has come to expect (hot tub, pool, workout center, etc.). The staff was always very friendly and courteous, and we never had any issues. If you are visiting Varna, BG, then I would not hesitate to recommend the hotel, due to a great location, and very good room rates.

Good location--uncomfortable room

The hotel is very close to the public beach and the walk down has lots of good restaurants. The room itself was clean, but very outdated. And the beds were so uncomfortable, we could barely sleep.

It this place spent the money to do a nice remodeling, the place would be perfect. But then they would charge what the other expensive hotels charge.

In conclusion, cheap and you get what you pay for.

Top Lage und super Service – mit kleinem Verbesserungspotenzial beim Frühstück

Wir hatten einen insgesamt fantastischen Aufenthalt im Hotel Cherno More. Wir waren im Zimmer 601 untergebracht, welches modern, top ausgestattet und offenbar frisch renoviert ist.
Hier unsere Eindrücke im Detail:
Service & Rezeption: Der Zimmerservice war hervorragend und das gesamte Team an der Rezeption ausgesprochen freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Lage: Die Lage ist unschlagbar! Tolle Restaurants befinden sich direkt vor der Haustür und auch der wunderschöne „Sea Garden“ (Meeresgarten) liegt direkt vor der Tür.
Frühstück: Das Buffet war zwar sehr reichhaltig, allerdings leider etwas lieblos angerichtet. Hier könnte man die Präsentation schon mit einfachen Mitteln optisch deutlich aufwerten. Zudem war das Rührei leider sehr schnell kalt – hier müsste bei der Warmhaltung noch einmal nachgebessert werden.
Fazit: Ein tolles Hotel in bester Lage mit sehr gutem Service. Wenn das Frühstück optisch und temperaturtechnisch noch etwas optimiert wird, ist es absolut perfekt!

Prepare to sleep in a smoking chamber

Despite asking for a room far from elevator or street noise and without smoking smell the hotel put us in front of elevator and in a room smelling cigarretes. Of course we could not sleep well. Despite the hotel had other rooms the receptionist tried to rip us up and wanted us to pay extra to have a room far from elevator and without cigarretes smell.
Room is outdated and full of mold. Breakfast is a disaster.
In the balcony please do not walk normally because there is wet floor form air conditioning and you can fall from the balcony. The hotel is saving money by not having a proper drainage system for air conditioning.
If you are addicted to smoking this is a perfect room because they even provide an ashtray.

Das Hotel liegt sehr gut zum Strand / Strandbars und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Auch Restaurants und Imbisse sind in unmittelbarer Umgebung. Unsere Zimmer waren sehr gut und sauber. Das Frühstück wird im obersten Stock eingenommen. Dort hat man einen tollen Blick auf‘s Meer und über die Stadt. Der Frühstücksraum ist jedoch leider in einem schlechten Zustand und sieht sehr heruntergerockt aus. Der Teppich ist nicht mehr okay und nicht sauber. Die Vorhänge sind zum Teil aus der Befestigung gerutscht/heruntergerissen.
Das Frühstücksangebot war okay. Es kommt auf den Kaffeeautomaten an, ob man einen guten oder schlechten Kaffee erwischt… Wenn das Hotel voll ist, ist es schwer dort oben einen Frühstücksplatz zu bekommen, dann wird außerdem die Luft sehr schlecht. Die Fensterspalte sind mit Silikon zugeschmiert und die Türen schließen nicht. Dort oben müsste dringend etwas am Gebäude gemacht werden. Der bauliche und optische Zustand des Frühstückssaal entspricht leider nicht dem Rest des Hotels.
