Albena is a nice summer resort, but hotel Dobrudja is so horrible. An old communist building, unfriendly personnel, so small rooms and such a horrible smell! It's not nice even for a night sleep....

Though the hotel is an old building, a sort of socialist struture, but there are many lifts there, pleasant personnel and very good breakfasts in the restaurants. We plan to go there again and Albena is must choice for families.

Unfriendly and very rude staff, dirty furniture...The food was tasteless and the rooms were so small. I have never been to a worse hotel. Albena is so nice, but just think about another hotel...

The hotel is meant to be a 4 star, but it definitely deserves 2 stars only. No A/C, rude staff and some wings of the hotel were noisy. I dont complain, the discount was good, but better spend your holiday elsewhere if you have more money

It was unacceptable by any standards. Dirty rooms, a smell of urine, diry carpets, bugs in our room. I have checked out without paying and want you that you should never book even on a limited budget!

we initially were startled by the communist block appearance of Hotel Dobrudja. Once settled in we were amazed by how large our family room was. Although a bit tatty it was clean, the maid very helpfull and the views wonderfull. We enjoyed the food, our four year old had plenty to choose from, the waiters were very friendly. I think people who want English food should stick to Eastbourne!

The plus side....The hotel is central and close to all ameneties and the beach.
The negative side....The hotel is listed as four star, but was not up to much. The rooms were adequate but in desperate need of refurbishment.

The food in the resturant was the worst part of the whole holiday. The variety was very limited and the food always seemed to be cold or luke warm at the best. They are obviously aware of the probelm as they provide a microwave for you to heat everything up. We ended up having to eat out.
The food and drink in the resort is really cheap thankfully.
The choice of food is very limited. Everywher seems to have the same menu. There are no foreign restuarants except for one Chinese. That is run entirely by Bulgarians and the menu is very limited.
There are no fast food outlets (A plus in my book)

The resort itself is very nice, clean and trouble free. It is idea for a family holiday.
The beach is excellent and the sea is very safe. The are lifeguards every 100 yards or so.
The evening entertainment is limited. There is only one English style bar, The Tropical Cafe. The staff are very good and they have a decent four piece rock/pop band and Elvis impersonator. You do get fed up with the same thing every night though. There doesn't seem to be anywhere else to go.
Took a taxi to Golden Sands once. About £12 return which I thought reasonable. The place is very much like Albena but still made a change.

On a night there are lines of pr*stitutes on the main street and near the hotel, however they do not bother you if you are with a family or girlfriend etc.
A really bad point is that all the family went down with diarrhoea and sickness. It seemed to go round, and just when you think you are OK it comes back again.
Be prepared for plenty of trips to the two nearby chemists Immodium Plus is about £2.50 for six tablets. I spent about £40 on the stuff!
The bug seemed to be effecting a lot of people and not just those from the same hotel.

Overall the holiday was alright but I wo'nt be rushing back there
