Ivana Palace Hotel

“Lovely stay”

Check-in was friendly and swift, Entering the room I put the key in the slot for electricity. The room itself was large with 2 single beds a small sofa which doubles as a small bed, a tv and a fridge (the fridge I had had a broken door inside but it still worked) plus there was plenty shelves and … more

Check-in was friendly and swift, Entering the room I put the key in the slot for electricity. The room itself was large with 2 single beds a small sofa which doubles as a small bed, a tv and a fridge (the fridge I had had a broken door inside but it still worked) plus there was plenty shelves and hanging space for clothes. Not that many sockets and only one close to a bed. Just to make people aware there is no tea/coffee making facilities but you can hire a kettle. The bathroom area is decent size, the bath itself is deep which some people may find difficult to access. The bath could do with a slip mat. There is a decent size balcony but no privacy with your neighbours. In reception area there is a shop, a seating area, another seating area with a games console and the bar with a few tables. A big breakfast/dining room which has the usual breakfast items cold meats, cheeses, breads, yoghurt, toaster, cerea, hot food area plus tea, coffee and juices. Breakfast food was fine, tasty though not always hot. Changed a little day to day. Outside is a children's pool and adults pool, though it would've been too cold at the beginning of May. The hotel itself is about a 10min walk to the beach and a 20min walk to Flower St. At the end of the road there is a bus stop which will take you as far as Nessebar going past Flower St. Cross the road to go in the opposite direction. The bus was 1€ per person per journey. Ivana palace is away from the busier area of Flower St so much quieter, although I didn't go to any aquaparks there ae loads in Sunny beach. I'd definitely book Ivana palace again just maybe a different month. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful

“Good hotel”

Depends on what you want. It's 400 metres to the beach if you know where your going. Breakfast is good lots of options. There is a bar area for evening where people are friendly. Reception is friendly. We had a superior room which isn't any different to a economy apart from having an extra bed so … more

Depends on what you want. It's 400 metres to the beach if you know where your going. Breakfast is good lots of options. There is a bar area for evening where people are friendly. Reception is friendly. We had a superior room which isn't any different to a economy apart from having an extra bed so don't be fooled by anything being upgraded on that side. Apart from that it's a good resort. If you want to be at the heart of the nightlife better to be closer to the strip, but for families it's a great resort though maybe not loads to do for little ones. WiFi seems to be very strong throughout which is a plus

“Ok, but disappointed at the same time”

Has plus and negatives. Arrived 8th September and was very quickly checked in. 2 minutes great. Key to my room on the 2nd floor and was looking forward to a quick shower and cold beer.

Has plus and negatives. Arrived 8th September and was very quickly checked in. 2 minutes great. Key to my room on the 2nd floor and was looking forward to a quick shower and cold beer. Oh, walked into the room and what a disaster. 1st thing I noticed was the yellow stained net certain over the window. After opening the curtains all I could see was the back of the Ivana hotel sign supported by the scaffolding. Absolutely no view whatsoever 😡. So of for a quick shower and shave!!! The shower floor was sinking into floor and I'm only 12 stone. I thought I was going to end up in the room below me. Then the shaving mirror fell of in my hand next to the sink.......mmmm not good so far. Anyway came downstairs to get a beer and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Bar is open 24hrs and there was plenty of sunbeds but hardly any normal chairs and the ones occupied had some colourful characters on them (you know the 1s I'm talking about, overweight women in a black swim suit covered in nasty faded tattoos with teen daughters who have got kids). Night-time is awful as there is no entertainment so people make up there own until 3-4 o'clock in the morning then the drunks come back so don't expect much sleep. Breakfast is a big no no. Trust me on this 1 it is really is that bad. Cleaners will barge into your room a 8 or 9 in the morning without warning so beware if you and the Mrs are having giggity giggity. Beach is a ten minute walk away and friends bar across the road is highly recommended. If you just want to use it as a base like I did then it's OK. Value for money??? For £500 B/B for 10 days it was OK but look elsewhere if you planning on spending ££££s overall 6/10
