Second time staying at the Ela. Its functional and worth its money. Good situation, close to cable car, lifts and bars. Its not the ritz, but some in our party were having problems in the larger hotels with very noisy stag parties, so I would say I had a good stay. Food seems to be usual bulgarian hotel food, cheap...

Ela is a basic but comfortable hotel, perfect distance from the centre of the resort, but far enough away that you dont get woken up in the middle of the night by those coming back from a night out. The best thing about the hotel was the room, spacious, clean and lovely and warm, it was also smaller than the... More

On arrival at the Ela, we were pleasantly surprised at the standard of our room. Looks like there has recently been a refurb. There is a living area, a spacious balcony and a great deal of storage and space. The staff are helpful as long as you can be patient with the language barrier. Room service isn't brilliant, just expect... More

The Ela was clean and warm; food was plentiful, varied and tasty on a self service basis and kept hot in bains marie. Two, two hour "Happy Hour" sessions in the evenings with two for one offers on Bulgarian drinks, meant that a 500ml. glass of beer was only 2 Lev, less than £1!! Staff were efficient and friendly and... More
