Getting there
Good for walkers
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travelers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
Due to flight times we arrived at the Hotel Selena in the early hours of the morning, the taxi transfer taking about 35 minutes. Check in was fast and easy and we were shown to our room, a porter followed and brought our cases on a trolley for us.
The room was clean, equipped with a TV (mostly german channels), a small fridge with mini bar, air conditioning, a decent sized shower room, and a balcony with a drying rack and patio table and chairs. Wifi is free and generally worked well, but with the odd momentary drop out.
The hotel is situated on the south bay side of the old town. Leave the hotel via the rear door and a short walk left along the promenade takes you to the vibrant old town with bars, shops and restaurants. We ate out every night of our stay and found prices to be very good.
We opted for bed and breakfast which is served in the restaurant or on the large patio overlooking the bay. Food was plentiful and varied in the form of a buffet style continental breakfast with meats, cheeses, pastries, fruit, cereal etc.
There is a small bar just off reception with access to the pool selling drinks, ice creams and snacks while you sunbathe on the terrace on one of the many sunbeds.
Just opposite the Hotel front door is a small pancake stall, the two ladies work from 08:00 to midnight and serve fantastic crepes with all sorts of fillings (ask for the english menu) ideal for a mid afternoon snack. Also there is a small local shop a minute away (turn left out the front then first left) the guy is really friendly and sells water, crisps, biscuits etc.
The Hotel Selena is a lovely friendly hotel, with everything you need for a cracking holiday.

The title says it all. We are well travelled and never been to a more friendly hotel. Before arrival I had very rapid responses to my emails from Dyana regarding the booking. It was no surprise on arrival that she was so professional in her role. We were allocated a sea facing room with breathtaking views of the awesome bay. The room was kept pristine by the lovely Milena. Kettle available upon request. No shortage of sun beds around the small but well maintained pool. Very talented musician plays every night in the restaurant garden. He is a great sax/guitarist/pianist/singer. With a wide variety of songs. Drinks and food very reasonably priced. Loved the wine. We sat outside in the garden to have breakfast and you couldn’t have wished for a more picturesque view. Ralitsa and all staff in the restaurant very attentive and pleasant. The hotel location is absolutely perfect as you are so close to the stunning Old Town. Sozopol is really beautiful. Fantastic to walk along the quaint streets or along the marina. There are so many lovely bars and restaurants along the beach. The beach is kept immaculate. We were amazing each evening that a tractor came along and fastidiously cleaned it. It is evident that this is a small family run hotel, with special attention to friendliness. Our middle of the night departure was made memorable by the lovely conversation and snack bag provided by Tanya and Niki. We had a wonderful send off from them both. Huge thanks to Petya who clearly loves her manager role and has passed her hospitality skills on to all of the staff at this lovely hotel. We hope to be back again next year and will certainly stay for longer. Blagodarya to every one of you!

Just got back from a week stay here and was very impressed with the friendliness of all the staff, and how spotlessly clean every part of the hotel was. The rooms are a good size and free aircon and wifi are also a bonus. The location is great too, literally facing the beach and a short stroll to either a long street of shops, restaurants and another beach, or a 15 minute walk to the old town again with many lovely restaurants, shops and cafe/bars. Breakfast was great with a good selection of hot and cold options, and we ate at the hotel one evening which was lovely and similar price to other restaurants we ate at. Would definitely come back here in the future.

A wonderful Bulgarian hotel in a fantastic location on central beach, exceptionally friendly staff, spotlessly clean and very welcoming.
Superb service and food catered for all nationalities. Excellent choice of hot & cold buffet, pastries, fresh fruit, cereals, our children thought it was the best breakfast in Bulgaria!
Rooms were spacious so we had 2 additional beds for our children in the room, the sea view was magnificent.
The location is just on the edge of old town so in minutes you can walk to the cobbled streets of old town Sozopol & take in this special place. Lots of restaurants alongside the bay also. We chose to eat out as we only stayed 2 nights, had we been there longer we would definitely have sampled the hotels evening food.
We regularly visit Bulgaria & would highly recommend this gem of a hotel - we shall definitely return again!! Thankyou to the staff for our mini holiday whilst on holiday!!

PERFECT!!! Everything about Hotel Selena was faultless. Can't recommend this hotel enough. All the staff were so helpful and friendly, from reception, concierge, bar staff, waiters and waitresses and housekeepers everyone couldn't do enough to help. Nothing was too much trouble and always went out their way to accommodate our needs. The entertainment every night was just fantastic. The entertainer is so talented and caters for all music tastes in all nationalities so you will never be bored at night. The food was absolutely amazing and their tarasmalata is just to die for. We were on a b&b basis and there was just so much food to choose from, it changed on a daily basis so there was always something different to eat each morning. I made friends with so many people over there and we already planning our trip back for next year!! Sozopol in general is the most beautiful small seaside town with so much to see and do with lovely people and gorgeous food. You certainly won't be disappointed. Can't wait to return next year.

We stayed at the selena for 11 nights at the end of June as a couple. We where half board and had a standard street facing room. This hotel is in a great position.
The room was basic but clean and a good size. Good air con and WiFi, the beds were really comfy and the shower was lovely. We found the rooms to be really quiet and had no trouble sleeping, balcony was small but got the sun and was good for people watching.
The pool area was quiet, plenty of sunbeds with comfy pads. Pool small but a good temperature and nice to cool off in. Lovely view of the sea. There is a bar selling drinks and crisps, but no food and your not allowed to eat or drink anything of your own.
The restaurant area is nice with a good view of the sea. Breakfast was OK, but repetitive and not a big choice, you won't go hungry but it's not very exciting. Evening meal is from a set menu which you choose from in a morning. Food was hit and miss, soups and desserts lovely, everything else was a bit tasteless and dry. Also found when there were people not from the hotel at the restaurant we were ignored a bit and service wasn't as good. If I stayed again it would be bed and breakfast.
The staff are all pleasant and friendly, cleaning and reception staff particularly.
Sozopol itself is very pretty with plenty of places to stroll to. Beach and sea are good and loads of restaurants. It's not really geared up for English people and some places aren't very welcoming but lots are and personally I'd rather that than somewhere like sunny beach. Balkan holidays offers excursions on there website, but the rep said they don't do any as there aren't enough English people for it to be worth running them. We did use the fast ferry and buses though. Overall a lovely break.

Just returned after a week away and what a wonderful find of a hotel. Been to bulgaria now for the 9th time having tried sunny beach for 8 and last year nesebar as we getting a little bit to old to party😂😂. Last minute holiday for us and seen this on balkan holidays so booked. So glad we did hotel was spotless staff were great and the cleaners were the best. Lovely large room overlooking street but not too noisy. Breakfast was ok with large selection of hams cheeses eggs breads fruit cereals tea and coffee. Made our own toasties on the revolving toast rack. Plenty to do and see within 10 minutes walk of hotel as its in the middle of two beaches. If you going to pay for an evening meal at the hotel book in the morning then you have lovely seat outside. Food was superb and large selection good value too. Large beer 5lev. Large vodka 5.50 lev. Bottle cola 3.50 lev. Beds and umbrella on beach 7 lev each. Lovely bottle bar right in front of hotel on beach 4 lev large bottle of beer and 3 lev for a cola. Pool are small but had no trouble getting a bed or umbrella. Mixture of german bulgarian and brits at hotel who seemed to know each other as we found out most of them having been staying at the same hotel some for the last 20 years all very friendly and took time to chat. Lovely laid feel of the area but plenty going on and loads of restraunts fast food places and cafes to have a rest and a beer. Highly recomend will definately be going back sometime next year

Super hotel in a perfect location overlooking a spectacular bay. Within easy walk of all the facilities of the town. Good size rooms, super food. Considerate staff, polite and helpful. Two inappropriately dressed people at breakfast who had come direct from the beach were dealt with discreetly by a junior member of staff. Brilliant !

Hello, we have a wheelchair accessible room (town view), a service desk at reception and a lift. Access to the sun terrace and pool is limited by 2 steps, but we fully assist.
Access to the promenade is free, but assistance is required to the beach.
I am not sure as I stayed in a suite, but it seems to me that all regular rooms are double rooms, and they may be occupied by single or double. Thus, yes, many have sea view and all have aircondition.
There are more places to choose from in the Sozopol area.
