Perfect quiet location in city centre. Original, unique features and furnishings took you back in time. The outside area, and glass entrance roof needed to be swept. Inside, was lovely, beautiful original glass doors, art works, shinning brass. It was also only 20 min walk to the park and beach, where there were lots of beach bars.

The downtown location of this hotel was its greatest asset. Plus the free breakfast. The reception desk staff was also friendly. Other than that, we were not impressed. Very surprised that this hotel is rated as 5 Stars. The bed mattress was extremely hard, old and uncomfortable; the bathroom door frame was rotting from lack of humidity control; we were supplied with only one towel per person each day; several tiles in the bathroom were cracked; and although the furniture was baroque style and supposed to appear old, it was truly OLD. The hallways did have lovely decor, however, the elevator door wouldn’t open or close properly during our entire stay and although we told the staff it was a danger to guests, they said they couldn’t do anything about it. Perhaps we would return only for the location and free breakfast.

This is a hotel deeply consumed by an old world charm. One of Varna's oldest and most famous, painstakingly restored to its former glory following chaos of both Communism and the post-Communist transition. The lift in the hotel used to be first to be installed anywhere in Varna. On the down side, I would recommend the management to do away with electronic card-keys and bring back the analogue era metal keys along with classic locks. They would much more complement the overall ambience of the historic hotel.

Overall a pleasant stay.
The hotel is well situated, breakfast made to order and the room was spacious.
If I were to find a negative point, it’s the coffee in the breakfast room

The Good, The Bad and the Ridiculous.

The Grand extends a genuinely warm welcome and the check-in was quick, friendly and efficient. My room was large and clean with a good sized bathroom. There are two TV's so it's possible to view from the sofa or the bed, which was very comfy and the blackout curtains are a nice touch. So far, so good. Now we get to the disappointment that was breakfast. I could only see a rather lame buffet offering upon entering the b'fast room but no plates. After searching high and low I asked the waitress who then opened a cupboard full of plates, but why are they completely hidden? There are numerous dishes that can be made at breakfast but I was not told this and as there was one menu for the entire breakfast room (also well hidden) I only found out once I was given the menu after I had visited the buffet, too late. Why not a menu for each table? I tried to get coffee but there were only the dregs left in the pot and again, no cups. I had to ask the waitress again and there was one cup on a trolley around the corner, why not put cups on the tables? I'll leave the most astonishing until last. This lamentable experience was set to the backdrop of relentless Europop disco music. Does the management seriously believe guests want that at breakfast time? It may be their taste but it's not everyone's. I gave up and walked out on breakfast and can only suggest the management urgently review this part of their operation.

Elegant hotel where nothing was a problem

Having booked 2 suites for an overnight stay, on arrival only 1 had been reserved. This could of been a huge problem but the hotel had an alternative room which was still lovely: they served us complimentary drinks and had the difference in cash waiting for us after our afternoon stroll. The staff were all very helpful, polite and even more important happy!

Good but slightly expensive

Not bad at all. An old hotel with lot of character. Unfortunately the Air conditioning wasn't the best which made the night a bit difficult to pass. Breakfast was OK though nothing extraordinary. Hotel is well located. However it has no swimming pool which you would have expected in a 5 star property. In all have experienced better five stars hotels before... but this is Bulgaria and standards may no be the same. To be fair the hotel is located slap bang in the middle of Varna and the neighborhood is good. A bit pricy though...

Ideally located

Situated right in the heart of the city. This Hotel is very popular with tourists. It bar and coffee lounge are also frequented by local people in search of a treat. Which must be a good recommendation.
The rooms are very comfortable and the bathrooom was absolutely spotlessly clean.
The good and drinks were good quality and reasonably priced.
I would not hesitate to visit or recommend this hotel.

Could have been better.

I really wanted to love this hotel. The location is great, the reviews were great, so we decided to treat ourselves to an overnight stay here. Check in was fast, friendly and efficient. The room was beautiful, large and looked just like the pictures. The storage was ample and everything was very clean. However, there were a couple of inconveniences that I didn't expect at this price level. Firstly, there was nowhere near a mirror that I could plug in hair straighteners. Secondly, the view from the room was blocked by a very large tree which also blocked the daylight. The curtains had come partly off the rail so wouldn't fully close. We had booked a table in the restaurant for dinner with friends so went down to the bar to wait for them. Although the receptionist and another member of staff were there and not busy, the '24 hour' bar and cafe were closed and we had to wait 15 minutes for another member of staff to arrive to open it up. When in the restaurant we were the only customers for most of the evening. The service and food were good, but there was no atmosphere and not even any background music. The wine choice was limited. Breakfast the following morning was very good. Lots of choice, the best hotel breakfast I've had in Bulgaria and we've been visiting the country for over 20 years.

A lovely stay in Varna in November

we thoroughly enjoyed this hotel. The location in the centre of Varna is excellent, easy to find and easy to travel from the airport on the local bus. There are good restaurants nearby as well as in the hotel. We enjoyed our breakfast. we had a superior room, which was very nice, with a spacious area for sitting. The fridge was well stocked but it did lack a kettle. The bathroom worked and the shower was great, with lovely warm water. The staff are amazing and so helpful. This enhanced our holiday. We highly recommend this hotel. The beds are very comfortable.

Top floor luxury in historic hotel

We were upgraded to room on top floor with balcony overlooking plaza. Room was huge with sitting area separate from bed area. Good elevator but mostly used marble staircase. Furniture & paintings added to historic ambience. Big bathroom with good shower, magnifying mirror & tub (first in Bulgaria) We had issues with wifi on our floor but worked in bar & staff great. Easy walking distance to Varna sites & beach. Very nice hotel!

Oveall good hotel. Brakfast is good, but lacks variety! Exactly the same thing everyday! Some imagination is needed.

Notwithstanding, on my friend's birthday, we were surprised with a butler and a lady bringing to our room a bday cake and other treats. Again, a new pleasant surprise.

A city break with a difference

The hotel is well positioned just off the pedestrianized centre and close to the opera house square with its musical fountain. Good, inexpensive restaurants are close by. The beaches and parks just inland from them are a pleasant walk away. The area seemed very popular with locals, particularly families. The dolphin show was well worth seeing. There is a big shopping mall, reachable on foot if you don't mind walking. The port area is built up and not attractive - better to stick to the beaches, parks and city centre.

Great Upscale Option in Varna

The Grand Hotel London is just around the corner from one of the main shopping streets in Varna and is also just a short 5-10 min walk from the beach. The building has good historic character yet has been well maintained and is well appointed with modern amenities. The staff was very helpful and courteous. The included breakfast was very good with both buffet and made-to-order items. Overall I feel like the hotel delivered very good value for the price and I would not hesitate recommending it to anyone looking for an upscale option in Varna.

Great experience

I only stayed one night here while in Varna, i couldn't be happier about my stay.
From the moment i walked into the hotel i was warmly greeted by the reception. They were so nice to check me in at 8am after a night train from Sofia, so i could freshening up and take a nap before heading out.
The breakfast is included. You order whatever you want from the menu and the kitchen will prepare for.
Varna is a small city, still this hotel is just by the main square and walking distance to the main church and archeology museum(highly recommended by the way!), and of course to the train station and the sea park.
It has a long history, a lot furniture are from 100 years ago when it was opened under the name of Musala Palace.
The massage at the Wellness center is the best AND cheapest in all Bulgaria, 35 lv (about 22 bucks) you get a solid one hour classical massage. The therapist used to work in national sports academy.
The only flaw is the quilt, they should convert it to international standard by having the double sized quilt instead of the single sized. I'm pretty skinny, can't imagine how big people can cover themselves.
A sweet stay, absolutely not to miss!

A charming relic of a bygone age

The Grand Hotel is an oasis of calm in the heart of Varna, make sure you book a room on the top floor for magnificent views over the Black Sea, but don't drink the brandy in the ground floor bar - it's twice the price of the minibar in the room. The restaurant is straight out of an Agatha Christie novel - a bit expensive, but the food and service are faultless, my partner was absolutely bowled over.

Classy Hotel

The hotel is a great place to stay, and its staff is really helpful and courteous. They went the extra mile to make my stay a comfortable one, even though the weather wasn't helping that week. A couple of minor things though; I would make an effort to have a true business center with a fast connection (the laptop they lend you to check email is real slow and the wireless connection works on the 1st. floor only). Also, the room service should really be 24 hours a day; right now it ends by 10:30pm. I would definitely go back !!

Highly, highly recommended. Excellent accomodations; very attractive comfortable rooms. Situated in a central plaza area. Excellent service - we arrived in the early hours (3 am) at the Varna airport and the hotel sent a bellhop in a cab to pick us up. When we departed (very early in the morning) they packed some food for us for the trip, without us asking. We celebrated our daughters birthday in the restaurant. The service and food was very good.

Otel tarihi bir binada yer alıyor ve girişten itibaren atmosferi hissediyorsunuz. Varna’nın tam merkezinde olması büyük avantaj; merkezdeki pek çok yere yürüyerek kolayca ulaşılabiliyor. Otelin önünde ücretli otopark olması da bu konumda oldukça kullanışlı. Resepsiyon ve mutfak ekibi son derece ilgili ve yardımcıydı. Oda oldukça büyüktü. Banyosu da gayet güzeldi.

Kahvaltı seçenekleri sınırlıydı ve beklentimi karşılamadı. Otelde temizliğe daha fazla dikkat edilmesi gerekiyor. Konum ve personel ilgisi güçlü yönleri olsa da temizlik ve kahvaltı konusunda gelişmesi gerektiğini düşünüyorum.
