Shipka Hotel

MIND THE DOORS

Stayed here in the week commencing 14th September 2007.

LETHAL LIFT DOORS. They have no sensors to stop them closing when for instance someone is trapped between them, VERY DANGEROUS. Also VERY QUICK CLOSING.

Just about everyone gets caught, I use a walking stick and am not too nimble and have the bruises to prove it.

Unique Quality: SITUATED ON "PARTY STREET" LOADS OF NOISE FROM EARLY MORNING UNTIL EARLY MORNING WITH ONLY A FEW HOURS OF REASONABLE QUIET. NONE OF WHICH IS MENTIONED IN THE HOLIDAY BROCHURES.

INSIST ON A HIGH ROOM AT THE REAR IF YOU END UP HERE AND WANT TO SLEEP.

POOL IS CLEAN AND TIDY. BARSIDE SNACK AND DRINK FACILITIES USELESS. BETTER, DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE HOTEL TO NIP DOWN FROM THE POOL TO THE NEARBY SUPERMARKETS AND SHOPS FOR DRINK / FOOD

THE CLEANER WHO CAME AND TURNED THE BEDS OVER ETC EACH MORNING WAS THE BEST FEATURE OF THE HOTEL.

HIRE A SAFE AT A RATE OF 35 LEV PER WEEK.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SOME LEFT OVER LEV WHEN LEAVING THE AIRPORT AS DURING THE TWO HOUR WAIT BEFORE FLIGHT YOU MIGHT WANT A DRINK. MOST AT 6 - 8 TIMES THE COST OF THE RESORT CHARGES.
