Mirage (Nessebar)

We were a little apprehensive before we flew out due to the negative reviews on here. However, absolutely no reason to have been! We are still here now and having a lovely time. Hotel is exactly as you see in the pictures. If you feel that it looks dated and the colour scheme doesn't suit then don't book. Rooms are bright, fresh and cleaned daily and our room had definitely been modernised as fittings and bed fittings felt new. Our cleaner is lovely, friendly and does a thorough job. Fresh towels every day. Yes they are thin but do the job and personally I wouldn't want a big fluffy towel whilst I'm on my summer holiday! Hotel staff are nice but a little reserved. Try saying hello, good morning and thank you to them and they are full of smiles. Breakfast is plentiful. Other reviews have said inedible. I would say that's going a little far. Lots of choice. Fresh fruit, bread, toaster, continental meats and salad, pancakes, fresh honey and yes English breakfast products! Now the English breakfast range is not great but the hotel have tried to cater for everyone. This is not an all English hotel it's multi cultural. I would say the English part of breakfast was the only disappointment in the hotel which is good going really. You would have to be extremely fussy if you can't find something to eat here and that comes from someone who has family members with allergies and even they would find something to eat. Other reviews mention seagulls. OK so Nessebar does have seagulls (surprise surprise - it's by the sea!) But this morning I observed 5 cleaners and a pool man cleaning around and in the pool at 8am. They wash down all the sunbeds with a brush and hose and the floors around the pool area. What more can they do? The seagulls don't fly around you during the day and don't come near the pool until people have gone. Pool area has free and good quality sunbeds and view over the beach. No fighting for sunbeds. Some people were reserving at 8am but really no need. We went down on first day at 10am and got front row overlooking the sea and lots more available around the pool. We had a Seaview room overlooking the pool and had a beautiful view as far as the old town. Comfy double bed, excellent air conditioning and the sound of the sea right outside. Beach right in front of hotel is a long gorgeous sandy beach with loads of sunbeds. Cost 15 euro for 2 beds an umbrella and a table. Payable in cash to sunbed man. Beach is cleaned every night and morning. Tractors sweep the beach in the evening and all sunbeds are put back in place. In the mornings there are beach cleaners who come round and litter pick where needed. Old town is absolutely gorgeous. We walked into the old town along the seafront in about 20 mins. You can also walk via the new town and road if you want. We have walked into old town most nights. Loads of restaurants and bars and good price even seafront restaurants. Local restaurants near the hotel are nice. Almost every day we have been to Nico's for lunch. Really lovely bar on the front and nice friendly staff . Lots of menu choice. If you want to do a cheaper lunch there is a takeaway just up the road from main entrance to hotel serving bakery items, pizzas, hot dogs etc. We have eaten near the hotel 2 nights in a little restaurant for which I don't know the name as its sign is in Bulgarian but its just up from Nico's and opposite the beach club bar. Family run and we were the only English in there and were welcomed. First time we went in was really busy. Last night we went in and one family had just finished but then we were the only ones in there. We asked them to put the England game on and they did with smiles and smiled for us when we cheered the goals! Food was amazing. The hotel as mentioned earlier is multicultural with people from many different countries. We spoke to several English people and most were repeat visitors. We will also become repeat visitors at some point. Important to note the hotel is not just a hotel. It also has a separate apartment complex attached with different entrance. Some of the previous reviews may have been referring to the apartment complex? Overall a lovely holiday, very relaxing and a great little hotel. Excellent value for money.

We had to move our holiday and bring it forward 4 weeks , so it was the very beginning of the season , as very quiet not loads open but was able to fill the week , daytime weather warm night time wrap up but was early May Nessebar old town is very beautiful We got the bus couple time to sunny beach £1 again not fully open but more busy then Nessebar , would defo come back To Bulgaria in the high season Hotel we lovely staff brilliant nothing to much trouble , my only grip was pool and poolside with the seagull poo everywhere on beds on sun brollies , in the pool which wasn’t clean in the 7 days , we sat the pool said getting a hose down a couple off days but that went straight into the pool as well , was seagulls in the pool drinking and washing in it But as I say that was the only issues Beautiful see view room we had one of the best ❤️

We love location of this hotel. The rooms with sea view have the sandy beach below and you can hear the waves all through the night. Breakfast spread was excellent with plenty of choice. We had a Turkish cleaner who was brilliant. Rooms very clean. Receptionists can be aloof but it could be down to a language barrier. Overall the hotel could do with better maintenance in the room.

We had a lovely time at Nessabur. The hotel was clean.and we had a lovely view of the old town from our balcony. We enjoyed bed and breakfast which was a good choice of food and nice coffee. The only nit picking things were the hotel reception was gloomy and dull with poor lighting and awful artificial flowers. The girl on reception looked a bit lemon faced. The staff seamed a bit under confident and No one was in charge. They were all using their mobile phones and not very efficient. But saying that they were respectful and did try to help when asked. We would go again because we love the location. We enjoyed it. The sun terrace was gorgeous.

This is our second stay at the Mirage hotel and again it was lovely however we did notice a few changes to the place, the breakfast dining area was full of young waiters and waitresses just stud with headphones in taking and joking with each other, apart from the odd one or two which were good and pleasant. Even the bar in the lobby had the same, young ignorant kids stood there 5 mins just totally ignoring us. We decided to not use the bar again. The first 2 days all the towels were old torn and thin, then we had descent quality towels. In our opinion the staff including some cleaners were very arrogant too. However after all this we would come back as it is a lovely place and situated in a lovely area on the beach front. A brolly and 2 beds for 24BL
