    Upfront beach place, comfy and safe!

    Liked : Hotel Effect Saint Mina is the perfect location if you want to have the beach in front of you. You don't event need to go to the beach toilet hehe, so short is the distance between beach and hotel, 50m. The room is very clean and comfy, the shower is bulgarian style shower (google it if you dont know what that means) , we had also acces to a balcony, and their garden is a place to hide of the sun. Natasha the host is a great person and very helpful! Definitly next time in Sozopol I will choose again Hotel Effect!

    Disliked : nothing to complain about.

    Fantastic and we highly recommend.

    Liked : This is a great place to stay and its fantastic value for money. The first thing that hits you is the cleanliness and fresh smell. It is a short walk to a gorgeous beach and a huge array of restaurants and bars and the views were stunning. The staff are lovely and kind.
    It was very comfortable and was cleaned daily if we so required.
    We will be back one day.

    Disliked : Liked everything.

    Liked : Greatest hotel in Sozopol. We had a bachlorette party there, the host was extremely helpful for the entire organization and every question/need we had. The hotel is very clean, the location was more than perfect for us and for our plan. Great communication with the host, she responds very quickly and friendly. For sure, this will be our first choice every time we visit Sozopol, and we definitely recommend this place. Great value for the price you pay.

    Disliked : Nothing. Everything was perfect.

    Definitely recommend

    Liked : The staff was extremely friendly. Natasha and her colleague were very helpful during our stay. The garden is perfect for a late night drink after the long beach day, or the morning cup of coffee. Even though the rooms do not have terrace, the common one is amazing. The location is perfect - 2 minutes by foot from the beach and one of the main streets with all shops, around 7-10 minutes by foot from the old town. Overall I would recommend it and visit again.

    Disliked : Maybe not enough sockets near the bed, but enough on the table
