Ahilea Hotel - Free Pool Access

The staff was very very friendly and helpful. The pool was nice and the view from the pool also very nice. The bar next to the pool was a nice added bonus. The location was great with walking distance to the beach and the beachside alley with all the restaurants.

Unfortunately we were not satisfied with the cleanliness. We knew it was an old building but it could have been maintained much better. The room was very moist and you could smell it, there was unpleasant smell coming from the bathroom as well. Bathroom could have been cleaner. The wardrobe was somehow crooked and sometimes blocking the bathroom door.

Small roomEven smaller bathroomWeird beds arrangements

Location perfect - beside a beach + gardens + many restaurants + short beautiful walk along promenade to more options as desired. Helpful staff. Location for breakfast is nice and relaxing. Quiet.

Room could have been cleaner, double bed is one with a split in the mattress, which is uncomfortable.

Nothing to like. Felt like a zoo. Also scamming people . Before booking the ticket the parking also accommodates my pet was included on the price. When I try to do check in I was asked to pay the parking also for my 7 kg pet. I showed her my reservation also what included they pretend not speak English. I definitely won’t recommend it’s just waste of money

What a horrible place to stay. The pool was very dirty the staff trying to scam all guest. Either car parking or pet or whatever they want just to get money. During my stay at 3am some people were screaming and wake up all guest. No respect please don’t waste your money that hotel should not even be listed at booking.com

Staff was very friendly, nice pool and the location is near to the Botanical Garden

The rooms that I received weren’t the rooms that I paid for. In one of the room, there was a pungent smell, cannot breath properly, maybe due to the mold

A good view, good personal

everything is old, the beach is not close

Location

The smell in the bathroomOld furniture

Great location, great staff and A/C in the room

Bathroom was really outdated with broken shower and shower screen but it was still operational

The clean pool, the sea view and the friendly staff.

The beds were a little too small.

the only good thing was the pool and the parking spaces

It wasn't clean, the bathroom was dirty and the fridge was the same and we couldn't rest because there was a party in the other room.

The only thing is that it's being close to the Castle, very close.Breakfast was ok, quality on the low side.

It's dirty, old, uncomfortable, stupid, dirty bathroom, awful douche and sink that spill water...

The location was ok

We were made to pay extra money for having a pet and for parking. This was not mentioned in the booking offer. The ladies at reception were disorganized and not very friendly as they were unhappy we booked the room via booking and not agreed to their offer at reception (it looked like they were trying to come up with ways of getting more money from us by asking us to pay for or dog and parking).The room was very humid and hot.

I was very satisfied with the place, great place for the money, very clean and very nice staff

Hotel situated close to Balchick Queen Mary's castle and Botanical Garden.Friendly personell.Nice pool

Ants in the room,a lot of them.Balcony and room needs refurbishing,they are old.Poor breakfastYou need to pay for the parking 5leva/24h,even if you are their customer.

The headline grabbing "All inclusive, free pool access" is actually not a true reflection of the reality, ok i appreciate that the summer season "officially" ended on 15/09 but that is no reason to close everything without prior notice.1/ the pool was out of bounds, not maintained and the water was beginning to discolour. 2/No breakfast available although option offered on Booking.com, 3/No Bar or Restaurant. Infact i was the only guest that night so i presume they "shut up shop and went home". Luckily there is another Hotel 20mtrs away and i used their facilities that evening and also breakfast. The only saving grace for the Hotel is that it's a stone's throw from the Palace and Gardens which is Balchik's most popular tourist attraction and offers free parking to guests This Hotel requires updating, both in facilities and attitude to guest's needs.

Rooms are basic and need refreshing/updating!

Breakfast was very good, serving staff kind and polite. Could do with some variation in menu.

Location is not great, the stairs leading to sea are quite steep and need cleaning and major repairs.Pool has good size and kept nicely clean.

Good location. Stairs to the beach ( narrow steps and no lights in the evening ). Swimming pool was clean and very nice with a little pool bar. Great breakfast with good variety.

Interior of the hotel was very outdated. Great value for money. could do better on bed linen.

Location, amazing sea view, kind people working there, flexibility to check out later.The food was good variety - loved the awesome water melon!

The team could dress up a bit more elegantly. It is not good if the T-shirt is up and shows the stomach of the waitress while serving breakfast. It is important to look clean, tidy and well groomed - even if it's not a 5 star hotel. Everything else was good.

The staff was friendly, breakfast was ok

The mattresses were old amd worn out, thr bathroom had mould on the ceiling and partially broken fittings, dead flies in the ceiling light, wifi was not working.

Good location, close to restaurants

High humidity in the room, the toilet was moldy with moldy shower curtains and it smelled.
