| said: Myself and my boyfriend recently stayed in Hotel Orpheus as we had heard it was a nice hotel in a good location.
We were very happy with the location, we were off the main strip, yet in a good enough location that everything was within walking distance and loads of bars and restaurants nearby. The beach was a 5 minute walk away.
There was no entertainment at the hotel but it isn't needed given the location. There is a nice bar by the pool.
We were slightly disappointed with our room, as we were on the ground floor and would have liked to have been higher up with a balcony. However, we had a small patio area with table and 2 chairs which was okay. The room was of a decent size and we had a big wardrobe and lots of drawers for our clothes. We found things under the bed from the last people who had stayed there and the shower wasn't designed very well so water kept splashing all over the floor which was irritating. The room had a minibar but only contained a small selection of drinks and weren't replaced quickly after we had drunk them.
Maids cleaned our room everyday and we got clean sheets several times and new towels everyday, was always tidy when we came back after a day out and the air conditioning was always put on so was lovely and cool when we had been out.
The staff in the hotel were mixed, some of them seemed a bit abrupt but others were really friendly and chatty. One thing my boyfriend and I thought was lovely was that as we were checking out we were both given a bag of food and water to take on the coach which was a nice personal touch.
The pool area was nice, loads of inflatables that you could use for free and because the hotel is small there was always plenty of choice of sunloungers. Pool was slightly cold but for the size of hotel was a decent size and seemed clean and safe.
The food was quite nice, we had heard some dodgy things about the standard of food in Bulgaria but the food we got was always hot and cooked properly. If we were staying for two weeks or were full board I think I would have got a bit sick of the food, but as we were just there for a week it was decent food.
There was usually a lot of choice. For breakfast there were 2 types of cereal, toast, croissants and rolls, fruit (which never looked too thrilling), fruit juice etc and you could order a cooked breakfast in addition, with anything you wanted and they bought it straight to you when it was ready.
At tea there was a choice of two soups (1 vegetarian), salad (not always very thrilling) 2 vegetarian dishes, 3 or 4 main dishes and a few types of deserts. I once had a vegetarian dish and it was more like a starter, not a very big portion. Most of the dishes do come with chips and a bit of salad. I wouldn't say the chips are swimming in grease but you can definitely tell they aren't oven chips!
Overall we were happy enough with this hotel. If we came to Sunny Beach again we wouldn't stay here as we would want to try somewhere else, not because it was really bad or anything.
I would recommend this hotel to someone who was looking for good value for money and a hotel in a good location which wouldn't be too noisy.

| said: We stayed in Orpheus Hotel, we had been last year what a disappointment. One lady at reception was really arrogant rest of the staff were really nice especially Anni.
Food was OK full breakfasts available. Limited choice at night, didn't really cater for kids.
The decking round the pool was a disgrace, floor boards were up with nails sticking out. Had to ask for the pool to be cleaned. Husband ended up doing it himself.
The family rooms were great fully air conditioned. Beds were changed often but toilet was never cleaned.

| said: The hotel is situated appx 50 metres from the beach.
The view from the hotel is either a main road or a sea blink - a view of the sea from between two hotels!
There are supermarkets, bus stops, road train and a Pharmacy close by.
The hotel has no baby changing facilities.
The hotels Disabled access is poor, no ramps only large steps (although once inside there is one lift).
The food is of limited choice, all meals come in lots of oil and always with chips and tomatos. All the meals do not have any fresh vegetables only tinned sweetcorn carrots and peas. Additionally the portions of food are small. However the food comes straight from the kitchen onto your plate - no food sitting uder heat lamps here.
Breakfast time is fun - there is one kettle and one electric toaster. Consequently a queue of plates and bread appear as people queue to put their toast on.
Most of the staff are friendly and accomodating.
No entertainment is provided at the hotel.
The Pool was dirty and very occassionally netted and was always cold. The decking area around the pool needed some repairs - some of the decking had split and there were screws and splintered wood exposed. A sundbed had been placed over these, but other areas of decking were also showing need for repair. The tiled bottom of the pool had some cracks and damage and there appeared to be a lump of concrete stuck on the bottom in one corner about the size of a cricket ball.
Our family room was good, two seperate rooms and a bathroom and balcony. Both rooms had working air conditioning which was very good. One room also had a fridge. The electric here is a two pin plug.
The bed linen was not replaced during our two week stay.

| said: The hotel was exactly as described in the brochure.
The staff were excellent, very friendly.
The rooms were fantastic, we stayed in a corner room which had a corner balcony.
The bathroom was the best, it was large and had a corner bath.
The pool area was very clean, and the pool was not too busy to swim or get sunbeds.
The location was ideal for us - 50 metres from beach, and 50 metres from the main promenade with nightlife, although 15-20 min brisk walk to main "younger nightlife".
We preferred to be further away from younger clubs, as there were plenty of restaurants and bars near us.

| said: Very clean hotel.The food is varied and there is always plenty even if you go in late. Breakfast is very good, you can make your own tea (they supply tea bags and the kettle).
The girls will ask you if you want a full english, German sausage, bacon, tomato, fried egg,and also a few chips. (yes chips with breakfast)You can also ask for fried eggs ,scambled eggs, beans, all on toast.
The pool bar has a happy hour each night between 9.00 - 11.00 pm this includes local spirits and all cocktails.
The barmaid at night is called didi and she makes a good cocktail.
There is no planned entertainment in the hotel but it is a short stroll to the front where there is plenty to do.
The mini train passes the front of the hotel this goes into the centre of sunny beach 2 lev.
There is a bus stop about 50meters from the hotel entrance there you can get a bus to nessebar or st vlas.
The hotel has 27 rooms 3 floors and one lift
I would recommend this hotel to young and old
