Smartline Meridian Hotel

Recently stayed here, I think the hotel not having a Facebook group really is an indicator of how it is because I’m sure if I had read comments on there I’d have not booked. Food was hit and miss .. it was passable just until day 3 when I saw files on the scrambled egg … signs everywhere saying do not take photos of food or video. There was rabbit on offer plus other stews. The staff didn’t give off a friendly vibe and the smell at reception from a nearby toilet was awful. Swimming pool too small for hotel capacity and sun beds too close and I felt claustrophobic. Hotels built on each inch of land. Noisy at night too. On reflection sunny beach was like Blackpool on steroids … sex shops, and shops selling lots of knuckle dusters, knives etc. regretted letting my kids chose a fridge magnet in a gift shop as they weren’t age appropriate. We visited nessebar and it was so different and beautiful. On reflection I wish we had booked to stay there. It had a whole different ambience. the buildings etc and cobbled streets had so much character. I guess for a drinking cheap holiday it’s ok as a base camp. For myself with children i wouldn’t recommend and I should have booked elsewhere. Bulgarian night, Khans tent, lazy boat cruise, vip catamaran trip and bus trips to Nessebar whilst eating out salvaged this holiday from What could have been a disaster as I just wanted to be away from the meridian. Wouldn’t recommend

DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEl !! The hotel is dated, dirty and staff very ignorant & rude. The rooms are not cleaned properly beds only changed once in 11 days. Bathroom had a horrible smell. The food is disgusting!! Barely warm congealed food sat for hours. Waiters very unfriendly snatch plates away before you have finished. We went all inclusive which was a joke as downstairs restaurant shut after a couple of days. Long bar in not all inclusive the only place to get a drink was the 11fh floor restaurant but only when they were open and in plastic cups. Sunbeds dirty and pool freezing. Had to pay for gym 15 lev for a bike and weight bench in a tiny room. I felt sorry for Jet 2 rep as everyone was complaining. Avoid this hotel

We had a brilliant time at this hotel! There was plenty of choice for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The views from the 11th floor restaurant were magnificent. The staff were also great, the twin girls in the restaurant were hilarious! It was my wife’s birthday during our stay and they gave us an unforgettable evening surprise with bubbles, a cake with a spectacular candle! We were in a nice area away from the hustle and bustle of the main strip and opposite a great bar (garden) which had a fab in house band and tribute acts…abba and Freddie Mercury! The staff there were great too and couldn’t do enough for us. There is lots to do close by (5 mins walk from Kiki beach) and a bus stop to the beautiful town of Nesebar. Would highly recommended this hotel and area.
