Saints Constantine and Helena hotels

Pros: Comfortable, sparkling clean, good location, helpful staff and delicious breakfast. Great for family holiday. Would recommend and would love to come back.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Very warm and homey place. Excellent breakfast with fresh fruit. The owners are very helpful. They make every effort to accommodate their guests’ requests and to make them feel at home.

Pros: The villa is amazing - the interior and the atmosphere make you feel as you are at home. The location is perfect at a very quite street, with a wonderful garden and a closed parking area. The host Dessi was very helpful, hospitable and kind. The rooms are big enough and you have everything what you need. If I come to this resort again, I will stay in this villa again.

Pros: Perfect hosts, very friendly and kind. Breakfasts are delicious made from local products. We enjoyed!

Pros: the location was perfect- close to Kabakum beach- 5 min walking, the Villa was very beautiful and nice and the staff was very hospitable. They were also proving a nice breakfast by request for additional fee. They were flexible about our late arrival.There is enough place to park. The view from the room was amazing, looking at the sea.

Cons: we were 3 people in apartment and there was only one key; the sofa was sagging and it was unconformable; the check out time is very early- 10 am

Cons: The best hotel at the black sea !!!!

Pros: Great service, very hospitable staff. Close to the beach and all amenities provided in the appartment.

Cons: A strange smell in the appartment, this was the only discomfort. Please look into this.

Pros: The apartment looks very modern and spacious with a wonderful view to the sea. It had a lot of utilities, ready to be used. The hosts were so friendly and kind.

Pros: The apartment was excellent , it included everything that we needed, it was way beyond my expectations. The hosts were kind and they helped us with everything: caring our luggage, making barbeque, even they let us in Jacuzzi after closing hour. The food was delicious, and we always get free pancakes when we ordered coffee. It was clean and the apartment is big enough for 4 persons, we enjoyed the view from balcony, it is positioned toward sea. The place can be easily find on google maps and it is close to the Varna city, about 10-15 minutes of car driving if there are no traffic jams, this is a big plus if you're looking for shopping. The beach is very near, just 5 minutes of walking. Also it is clean and quiet, no so many people, it is perfect if you want to have a relaxing vacation. Maybe the only minus is that you can get bored because there are no clubs or other entertainment like this, but if you are in the right mood, you can enjoy music and dance on the beach until late at night, nobody will bother you, trust me :)

Pros: Friendly host, clean rooms and nearby the beach.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: horrible place, dirty, aggressively stupid staff, power went off for the entire night and they had no generators for emergency cases. restaurant full of flies and stray dogs...

Pros: At first contact, things were good. It's wonderfully close to the beach, finish and furnishings are really nice, the terrace is cozy and quiet and the jacuzzi is a welcome bonus. The AC units are reasonably powerful and you won't have any problems getting a good night's sleep in any temperature.

Cons: First thing to mention is that we visited the villa as a group of 13. The booking offer specified 3 apartments of 5, 5 and 3 persons respectively. When we arrived, we were presented with one of the apartments (since the rest were not yet ready by check-in time - not that big of a deal) that was supposed to house 5. It consisted of two rooms, one with a queen bed and one with a couch bed and two armchairs. The host tried convincing us that three people would be able to sleep on the couch bed, but that was clearly not the case. We had to convince them to get us two extra folding beds, since the other 5-person apartment was similarly short on space. I have to mention that, for 2-3 even 4 people, the space would have been enough. Why overbook an apartment if you don't have room for all the people inside? Some of the rooms had a pretty unpleasant smell upon entering. The folding beds were a pain to sleep on and to fit in the room, while leaving space for others to walk through. There were no toiletries - except for some hand soap and one (!) toilet paper roll which was already part of the way through - and the towels leave off a lot of lint on you skin when you dry off. We also had some trouble with the staff. They were very nice and cooperative for the most part, but a couple of times they were unnecessarily rude, especially when it came to a "curfew", where we were not allowed to use the terrace past 22:30, even though there was no mention of this anywhere and we were not making any noise, just having some drinks and chatting. If this is a house rule, they should let people know beforehand, or at least calmly and respectfully explain it to them at the right time, without basically throwing them out. Again I stress: this may not happen to smaller groups, or to families or couples travelling alone, but our experience was very unpleasant due to these occurrences. They don't have the option to pay by card and they aren't very good with English.

Pros: great location, very helpful staff

Cons: absence of dining table in our apartment

Pros: Staff, Position , distance to the beach, view

Pros: Service and friendliness at all occasions. Personalized breakfast and dinner - modified to our wishes. Once we couldn't get a taxi to Aqua House, they drove us there.

Pros: Very nice and warm people, good breakfast( a little variety would be nice), perfect view to the sea.

Cons: The drain of the bathroom. After every shower we took, the floor was like a pool for the next 3 hours. The garbage was never took out in 6 days. Everytime you go out or get in, you have to lock or unlock the entrance door.

Pros: Very kind owners, good breakfast, a bit old fashioned rooms, but clean. Rooms were cleaned, towels changed two daily like in a hotel -it was a surprising kindness for us. The surface of street in front of the house is in very bad condition, but at least you have always place for parking the car. The sight form the roof terrace to the sea is amazing. Good value for money.

An experience I want to repeat all over again.

When my GPS couldn't find the property in St. Constantine and Helena they came with their car and showed us the way to the villa. Good directions and advises about the area.; Accommodation: We had a 2 rooms suite with 2 great balconies. Very clean. 1 air conditioning. Comfy beds, big bathroom, kitchen with everything we needed.; Pretty good wi-fi. The yard is great, a lot of trees, including fig trees, plum trees, and grapevine. All the fruits were really tasty.

Pros: Very nice host, but they don’t know English so we had to understand with sign language. The lady was very nice and she waited us to arrive at 11 pm. The apartment is big enough and has comfortable bed. In the living room it’s a couch that will be made bed if it’s needed. The balcony is big and has a very green view around the area.

Cons: Very small bath and was difficult to bring the water to the right temperature as it might be too hot and suddenly too cold. The road is with rocks and dirt and parking can be difficult

Cons: There was a small issue in the first day with the water but the owner was very proactive in solving it.

Pros: The hotel is located near a beach,about 5-10min walking distance. The pool was nice and the neighborhood was not noisy and you can relax.The owner were nice people. Also the kitchenette was well-equipped and all the necessary utensils were there

Cons: I didn’t like the mattress and the pillows. The mattress was very hard and I couldn’t sleep well. Also we were on the last floor,the sunny side and the air conditioning didn’t cool enough the room and it was hot all the time.

Pros: The staff was overall amazing and very welcoming.

Cons: It is located a little far from the centre (of the area) and the better beaches, though it’s still at a very good spot.

Pros: Location was good and close to the beach.

Cons: Room maid and staff were very rude and opened my room door at 8 o’clock morning when I was a sleep to take measurements for the furniture which is outdated and stinky.

Pros: It is obvious that the owners do their best to offer excellent accomodation for guests. Breakfast is excellent and satisfies a variety of tastes. The room is clean and very comfortable. The pool is pleasant and functional.

Cons: The fridge in the room did not function. The street to the beach is not nice, some spots are even smelly and ugly probably due to local authorities.

Pros: Receptionist was super.

Cons: Could have had a more varied breakfast, especially the eggs, fried or boiled would have made a change.

Pros: - good price - good breakfast for a 3 star hotel - Daniela the receptionist lady is very friendly and helpful - quiet and functional air conditioning - quiet, but very dark location, (no street lighting on surrounding streets) - close to bus station "Balkan" (good and cheap bus connections to Varna and Golden Sands)

Cons: - the mattresses need to be changed - 10-15 minutes walk to the closest small gulf beach (the southernmost beach of St. Constantin&Helena)

Pros: Location was acceptable.

Cons: It was very dirty. The room and the liners were dirty.

Pros: Rich breakfast, nice view of the balcony, swimming pool available. Bar open 24/7. Very good wifi. Clean and comfortable.

Cons: Bed sheets were too small, matrass was dirty.

Pros: Great location, close to the beach and shop. Spacious and very clean room. Small but clean swimming pool. Very friendly staff and nice atmosphere. We had great holiday and would love to come back.

Cons: The room shouldn't be sold for 3 people - 1 adult and 2 children. Sofa bed was too hard to sleep (hard like a wood bench), without any foam or mattress. No sheet for 3rd person. I have to sleep on single bed with child and it wasn't comfortable for me at all. Dinner selection was very poor for children, last few nights my both children couldn't find anything for them and I have to do sandwiches in the room for them. Staff can't speak English, like is mentioned in description.

Pros: Very friendly personnel Not far from the sea

Cons: Very bad mattresses (you can feel all the springs with your spine) The room is smaller than it seems on the pics and rather outdated Pretty noisy from the road nearby Not big choice for the breakfast and bad coffee

Pros: Beautifull Park area with pools.the beach in the bay good for children.the aqua fit in the sea.excellent tree terrase with sea view.

Cons: The lack of room floor cleaning every day

Pros: nothing.. parking so far

Cons: the rooms old and also furnuture.. hotel very very old.. the beds terrible and so low not comfortable.. I had a navk ache from it.. the picture is not real the facts of the hotel .. they photo it in another sight.. the bathroom s.ells terrible.. sorry but really I avoid intering to my room and the reception also the same.. terrible.. I ask them don't have cleaning materials?!!!!!!

Pros: This property has multiple pools including kids areas. The food was great and staff was very nice and accommodating.

Cons: The beds were hard and too low to the ground and the pillows were flat. Was not the most comfortable sleeping arrangements but we made it work.

Pros: Good location, nice and friendly staff who speak good bulgarian.

Cons: They need to do something against reserving the sunbeds on the beach from people who actually start using them after 10.30. No entertainments in the hotel, only on the beach stage. The rooms needs renovation.

Pros: The kids pools and the entertainment and they upgraded us for free to a maisonette

Cons: It’s very old hotel and do food is not so great

Cons: Wi-FI was really slow. The room had a funny smell, like it wasn't used in a long time, but that's undestandable given the fact that stayed there April.

Pros: The hotel is ideal for a family vocation - the beach is within 5 min walk and there is a vast green garden at the back of the hotel with beautiful trees making the place cook and shady on the hot summer days. My 4 year old daughter loved the play ground, the kids club and the mini disco in the evening. My son was happy that there are tennis courts on the ground of the hotel. The food was delicious and the fresh watermelons and peaches were definitely the winner. The hotel was very clean and the staff were friendly. The beach allocated to the hotel tended to get a little crowded but the swimming pools compensated. Besides, there is a water house very near the hotel, with 14 pools with mineral water ranging from ambient air temperature to 36*C. On the whole, we had a lovely holiday and we will definitely go back.

Pros: The food was good. Even if not lot of choices - there was always chicken and veal/pork, sausages and salami. Cheese - excellent at least 3 types always. 3-4 type of salads ; 4-5- fruits that kept rotated (apples, oranges, plums, grapes, watermelon, melons) the best of all - the sweets! The personal from the cafeteria where working really hard and fast to keep up with the mess people were leaving behind; Bonus - the parking space is free; disco for kids each evening; a decent playground for the small one;

Cons: the rooms are quite old and need a refreshment and bathrooms - need repairs- leaking ; since we were 5 - 2 adults - 2 kids - 6 and 4 and 1 infant - but booked a room for 4(2 adults and 2 kids), we were moved to a bigger room(and paid the difference). Excellent sea view from the room, but, kind of dangerous for the small kids. It was at the 4th floor with 2 level room, and the stairs are definitely kids friendly. Conditioners are old and make a lot of noise - but they were effective and keeping the rooms cold.

Pros: All, location, cleaning, the staff.

Cons: -

Pros: Great location, great staff, they were very polite always willing to help. Fantastic meal, always fresh and tasty. Great place for small kids, kids club etc. Very nice animators, smiling. Very clean surroundings, pools, etc.

Cons: Our room was a nice room, however the cleaners provided poor service. They could clean the rooms better. The pillows had marks on them, it was messy behind the beds. The bathroom was never clean enough. Next time I bring my own cleaning stuff and will clean it myself :)

Pros: Right place for the right vacations: evergreen trees and bushes together with light sea breeze in the air give you extremely nice relaxing feeling even on the hotel balcony. Very comfortable bed, nice bathroom, regular towels changing and carpet cleaning. Breakfast is good and balanced up to the different diets, a lot of fruits and pastry.Hight level of the hotel management: staff is professional and helpful. Lunch is also available at the hotel restaurant with good European cuisine. No doubt, I'll choose the Kristel hotel option again. NB: opposite to the hotel is big supermarket Lidl.

Cons: Nothing!!!

Pros: The stuff! The receptionists, managers - all perfect! I hope every hotel in Bulgaria could learn from them! Special thanks to Veronika for being so extremely friendly!

Cons: The bathroom had a strange smell, but as soon as I told them, they made sure it was cleaned and everything was fixed!

Pros: The bed ! Big and very comfortable !

Cons: The bathroom ....time has passed over everything....the showerhead, the shower cabin was leaking a lot of water, the faucet was leaking everywhere....

Pros: The coffee is horrible

Cons: Very nice and helpful stuff

Pros: The hotel is quiet and not oversized, it has good location with convenient parking and easy access to public bus to Varna; The beach is about 5-7 minutes away and it is close enough for walking but far enough to save from 'nightlife' noise of the resort; Since most cafes and restaurants open closer to midday, the availability of breakfast at the hotel is a valuable option; We felt ourselves very comfortable and could get any help or information at the reception.

Cons: The breakfast is good enough, but it would be nice to get an espresso (that is really nice at the lobby bar) as an option rather than an 'extra'

Pros: Nice, the location very good !

Cons: There was blood on the towel. We had to pay additional 20 bgn to use the sauna.

Pros: I liked the room - comfortable, wide, big bed. It was interesting that the hotel plan is circular. Breakfast was great. We loved the idea of the pool, it looked great.

Cons: The noise the air conditioning made, as well as the noise coming from the mini-bar. We had to unplug it in order to sleep. We also felt that 10:00 is a little early to end breakfast but that’s just because we are lazy.

Pros: Friendly staff. The front desk girls were smiley and helpful and together with the owner of the hotel they even assisted my boyfriend with a surprise for my birthday. There are enough parking spots in front of the hotel. Just 1.3 km away is the nice Sunny day beach with clear water and enough eating places with reasonable prices. A con is the small parking zone there. The hotel is located close to the main road which makes it easy to get to and very convenient for going to Varna city.

Cons: Bathroom was a bit dated, but otherwise clean. Some of the products on breakfast were not fresh. The nearest beach is small with no place to grab a snack or a drink, except an old shack-like "eatery" with doubtful food, or just a few meters apart - a fancy restaurant with delicious but expensive meals.

Pros: Very nice and helpful staff! Excellent location and facilities. Would book it again.

Cons: the cleanliness the shower plugdrain was blocked with hair etc. when moved settee underneath never been cleaned for months

Pros: Very good location, very good staff, very good restaurant.

Cons: Small minus was the shower..

Cons: Internet was practically nonexistent.

Pros: The hotel was ok, met my expectations.

Pros: Value for money Wi-Fi connectivity Breakfast Location - close to restaurants and seaside

Cons: Bathroom.

Pros: The hotel have good location, the breakfast was very good, the cleaning lady was always smiling, not like reception, there were toilet accessories, there is fridge in the room. The staff in the restaurant was polite. For the money i paid i am satisfied, but i wouldn't pay more. My room cost me 26 euro per night in a double room

Cons: My first impression was from the receptionist there were two of them man and woman, they have been rude at the beginning. I asked about the parking if this is the parking that they have and he told me in rude way if i dont like it to go to the hotel next door where they have paid parking. When i booked this place i was looking to have parking, so i do not accept the receptionist to tell me to use the paid parking next door. Finally a young man moved his car so i can park mine. I guess they were family man and woman behind reception and the young man their son, he was polite. The attitude can be something that they can improve . Something else- i booked 2 adults 1 child and they didn't know, my reservation was for large bed and sofa, i get large bed , i agree to stay with this bed only, but still. The other hotel next door- Rusalka have every morning from 08:00 very laud music and you can't sleep after that, be cause music is on.

Pros: very good stuff, good accomodation, very good location excellent breakfast

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The staff is friendly. Cheap breakfast. Balcony.

Cons: The towels weren't changed at all. Old furniture. Small bed. The sheets were kind of dirty.

Pros: The stuff was very kind. The room was clean. The room space is good organized. I like the balcony very much. The breakfast was very good for its cost. Every morning there was a hot handmade traditional banitza and season fruits.

Cons: There was no airconditioner and on the second floor which in fact is the last one is very hot through the day but in the night it is ok. It is not so close to the beach but the area is ok if you want to have a rest.

Pros: Location with garden. Most of all the time quiet.

Cons: A nightmare. We booked as last minute option but what you see from pictures is not what you get. We got a nightmare bedroom. Room was very uncomfortable, one light was broken and there was no mosquitos net. Breakfast is ridicolous, they are not even able to make cappuccino or caffè latte. Room was cleaning everyday but we got dirty towels (more then one time). Once we used the soap bags they provided in the bathroom, they never replace them in 5 nights. Room has mosquitos blood and cracks on the wall. Even if it was the last room available doesn't matter, we paid like other guests. Receptionist and all the family were rude, never say hello, only when you have to pay they smile. It is not an hotel, it is worst than an hostel. Avoid that place.

Pros: We loved everything, from Desk to Cleaning. Bar, Restaurant, pets. We added two extra nights to our already 14 !!!

Cons: All best.

Pros: The staff is really friendly and they are always ready to help. The location is good, it's not far neither from beaches, nor bus stops. There aren't many tourists roaming the streets, mainly the Bulgarians and the Russians.

Cons: The buffet breakfast is fine, it has plenty of options, though the food provided is not of the highest quality. The dinner included in the price is too simple and unwholesome. It's better to dine at restaurants. There is a loud disco for kids at the hotel nearby where the play horrible Russian pop songs.

Pros: Silence and location,big and clean room.

Cons: Kids under 7 age at the interior pool, making so much noise.

Pros: Losho!

Cons: Non professional attitude and lack of simple facilities such as kettle in the room.

Pros: Nothing!

Cons: Normally we are not difficult guests that complain but when situations like this happen I have to react. Weired smell of mold and the TV not working Was only the start. It got worse after trying out breakfast witch including dinner was under all kritik. Dry bread greasy meat etc. and limited offer of variety is not what we expect of a 4 star hotel. Also the top of the iceberg was when the water stopped working while taking a shower or doing hygienic business. I went to the reception but couldn't find a solution so I involved booking and I am currently waiting for response. No service staff cared about us being unhappy no questions no manager contacting us. No service! The pool area please see attached picture and look at the coloring of the pool. There is no clean smell. :(((

Pros: location, the room, meal, good value for money

Cons: no parking place, less entertainment at the hotel, the could be a little various

Pros: The price/quality ratio was very good. Even the hotel is a little bit outdated, everything works quite well (pluming, air-conditioning, TV, others). The room was large and clean, with a big balcony. The restaurant is also large, there was no problem in finding a seat, either inside or outside (on terrace). The hotel has also two swimming pools outside and one inside, which were never crowded.

Cons: Food was a little bit oriented to "low-cost" options (a lot of fried salami...). However, it is to be noticed that the chef managed to cook some tasty meals even from low-cost ingredients. The wireless Internet was of very low quality (very low speed and disconnected a lot).

Pros: room, restaurant

Cons: few sun beds

Pros: we enjoy and very pleased about all .good vacation good hotel to rest .good meals. trees and birds everywhere around near the sea. very nice crew

Pros: Excellent friendly staff people behind the scenes really made this hotel work well. Was clean welcoming and I will definately book here again.

Pros: Everything: location, staff, good meals, comfort, green scenery

Pros: Food was exellent

Cons: No complaints

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Couldn’t open the windows. Replying on the air con but it’s blowing right over the heads

Pros: Great and safe location, well equiped room, good price. Very good and positive communication with the owner. Nice garden with place to relax.

Cons: Thin walls - you can hear the noise from neighbors room. Kitchen is located outside in the garden.

Pros: The host is friendly, price is great and there're plenty of parking spots (in and out of the house).

Cons: The common space wasn't so clean, sheets for the bed weren't the right size (too small for the mattress). The pool isn't what it looks like on the pic (but still better than nothing i guess)
