Family Hotel Viktoria , Balchik – November 2007
Dogrose
The Viktoria is a medium sized, family run, two star hotel one row back from the sea. It offers basic, reasonably priced, clean rooms and apartments. It has large double rooms, several studio and two bed apartments and one three bed apartment, the hotel also boasts a jacuzzi which I believe is available to guests in the summer season.
The double rooms are large and clean, with balconies, fridge, air-con, tv and phone and, while we were there, Hristo the owner was installing an internet system that runs through the electricity cable enabling you to plug your lap top into a socket in the room to get on line. There may be a charge for this service though so check before you surf.
Prices for the double rooms start at around 80 lev (40 euro) in season including a simple, buffet breakfast and come down considerably in the winter months where you will be served a basic but adequate breakfast which varies from day to day.
The hotel has been known to lock it’s doors late at night in the winter if there are few guests staying so if you are planning a night on the town you might be advised to inform reception before you leave.
The family are quite accommodating and showed no objection to one of the guests bringing his dog, although this might be a different matter in the summer when the hotel is full. The hotel does get very busy in the high season so it is advisable to book in advance.
