Hotel Antik, Varna – November 2007
Dogrose
The Antik Hotel is a small friendly hotel just off the main city centre square.
The lobby/bar is modern and attractive with plenty of plants giving it a comfortable, cosy feel. It does boast internet access for guests in the lobby but as far as we could see this was just one computer and no wireless network for using your own lap top.
We thought we’d found quite a gem at 50 lev a night for a double room but the room was in the basement and although quite comfortably furnished, had very little natural light and the damp musty smell of drains. The bathroom was equally depressing, long, narrow and dark.
There was no air con in the room but a couple of desk top fans, which, when pointed in the right direction did manage to cool us a little and would be fine in spring or autumn but not really adequate for the height of summer. We also had a problem with mosquitoes in the night and my partner was bitten quite a few times.
I can’t comment on the rooms above stairs as they were all booked out but I have a feeling that they are probably quite pleasant and, if charged at the same rate per night, would be very good value for money.
