Hotel Marinela -- Truly a Unique Experience!

The Hotel Marinela is truly unique, perhaps resembling a huge boutique hotel. The decor is unmatched, and maybe not to everyone's taste. But that's what has given the Marinela its special character all these years. The restaurants provide excellent offerings, the staff was extremely courteous, and my suite was outstanding!

A busy vibe all around. Choice of restaurants inside (i picked the Italian). Good food! Friendly staff. I had a room on the 16th floor. Great view, but in hinesight the 2th floor might have been more comfortable, due to the nightclub on a floor above the 16th. The bass was resonant in my room

The staff around the hotel do not acknowledge the guests. House keeping do not come around every day and i had to make a complaint to have my room cleaned, and only got a sorry from the manager. The restaurants and Japanese garden within the property were the best parts of my trip.

Ok nothing special!

First we got scammed by the taxi driver from the airport, he charge triple price from airport to hotel. We told the receptionist about the story, and she said we had to pay 8 Lev for city tax, are you sure about that I said ? And she said yes, a nice lady in check in. Have her a 20 bill, and got 10 back??!! And I said this is not right ? Well she didn’t got any coins?? First told about the taxi driver, and then the receptionist is doing the same thing?? Really bad experience!! Suddenly she had coins! Hotel is good, nothing special - breakfast is ok! Staff is more into checking private phones than doing service, at breakfast. Also the bar tender didn’t have coins, so he got 4 Lev in tips, even a tip is something a guest gives for good service, this guy just took it. The people in charge of this place should provide staff with coins - it gives a bad picture of the whole experience been a guest there!

Did not try the breakfast... but, this hotel gets filled with che@p w0men and m@fi@ men, and is full of smoke inside - absolutely do not recommend! When i tried to complain to the front desk, the service staff was super rude and said the smoke comes from the bar, to go complain there... I did, and it did not help! It was so bad with smoke, that it was like a fog.
