We went from the tour operator News Travel, on their website this hotel is declared as 3 * +, where the + is not clear)) the usual three.
So in order:
1. Hotel.
The hotel is not big. A good location - as if at the beginning of the New City, it turns out that the Old City is not far away and the New.
On the ground floor there is a panoramic restaurant overlooking the sea, so it was a pleasure to have breakfast.
There is a lobby bar in the lobby, do not order cocktails in it! They just don't know how to do it. There are a lot of establishments around there and they will do it cheaper and better.
There is a cocktail bar on the roof, which offers a wonderful view of Sozopol and the coast.
Panoramic elevator - a good idea, but not with a view of the construction site)))
2. Numbers.

The rooms have wrought iron furniture, in principle, not bad. The rooms themselves are old and there are stains on the walls in many places, they need to be renovated for a long time. We were given a 2-room suite for 3. The room had a mini-bar (empty), a TV (small and old in one room), 3 Russian channels, air conditioning, a balcony shared by several rooms.
3. Staff.
The staff is friendly. We did not have a shower curtain in our room, they said at the reception, they immediately hung us up. Also, the batteries in the remote control from the TV ran out, we were immediately given new ones. So the staff goes to the meeting, if something is needed or something is missing, they will do it.
4. Nutrition.
For breakfast, 3 menus were offered to choose from, they changed a little every day, but the main ones were toast, cheese, jam, honey, scrambled eggs (they don’t know how to cook it), there were also pancakes. From drinks it is best to take coffee or coffee with milk, there were also juice (chemical), tea bags (terrible) and milk to choose from. Of course, in comparison with the food in all nearby establishments, this is very poor, but as for breakfast, it’s so normal, it’s just good to go to the sea right away.
We ate mainly at the nearby Papa Joe establishment, it has a view of a construction site, but the interior is not bad, the food is excellent, a large selection of dishes, everyone brings them very quickly and the portions are huge (in Bulgaria, apparently, such portions are everywhere), democratic prices.
In general, it makes no sense to go to a hotel with meals in Bulgaria, maximum breakfast, because. there are a lot of different establishments around and all at ridiculous prices.
5. Prices.
Complex lunches almost everywhere for 6 levs - this is approximately 3 euros or 30 UAH. If you order in this way, separate dishes, then for 20 levs you can eat and drink together, it's about 100 UAH.
On the beach sunbeds and umbrellas for 6 levs per day, mattresses 2 levs. If you take a set (2 deck chairs, 2 mattresses, an umbrella) - 20 leva.
6. Beach.

Nearby there are 2 beaches, both urban. One is very close to the hotel, the second is a little further, 5-7 minutes. walk. The beaches are sandy. We both liked it. The only thing is that we got on algae, a lot of small green algae washed up on the shore, apparently, they were removed from the stones by a storm. But it was a few days, otherwise the beaches are small, very good for children. By the way, most vacationers are families with children.
In general, I liked the rest. We went right away with the mindset for an economical vacation, it turned out even better than we thought. And in the sea they swam and walked around the Old City. Sozopol is a very beautiful place, especially the Old Town.
So, if you do not need any frills in living and the minimum conditions that 3 can offer you are suitable, you can safely choose this hotel.
