Perfect location,it is where all things happen in golden sands,close to the beach and to pubs around,nice view.. too bad for the service..towels and Bedsheets are not changed daily..if u ask the Housekeeping they tell u its a policy..maybe because it was a room booked with travel agency and would have been different if on account..if you go make sure...

The hotel was clean. The reception and overall check-in experience was smooth. Impeccable housekeeping service except the towels have to be changed more often.Beds were slightly uncomfortable. The breakfast offered was well rounded and had a good taste.Above average for the price offered.

The hotel rating was better than poor but really not average. We arrived at the Shipka 6 days into our fateful holiday. If you know the Varsharva hotel, the Shipka is a palace except it isn't and we had to pay an upgrade of £600.00 for the pleasure. Its faded, no investment, repairs of doors that won't unlock lifts that... More

This summer I went to golden sands and stayed in Shipka for a week. I would not be exagerating if i said it was the worst trip I've ever taken.

I think all the good reviews are from the ones who had rooms in the new building facing the pool. Well, as every where else, you get what you pay for. Shipka is... More
