Those planning holidays to Bulgaria should consider a stay at the affordable, family-run Motivi Hotel in the vicinity of Varna. Bulgaria has become a destination because of its beautiful Black Sea beaches. This friendly hotel is located in the resort area of Saints Constantine and Helena – sometimes written St. St. Konstantin i Elena - the oldest seaside resort on Bulgaria’s coast. It’s just south of the famous Golden Sands resort and north of Varna, the country’s third-largest city. The Motivi offers clean, comfortable guest rooms that are very reasonably priced. Amenities include a mini bar, TV, free wireless internet access, and air conditioning. The modern, brightly painted building is surrounded by landscaped gardens. A free breakfast is served in the lobby bar or out on the patio. The friendly staff at the Motivi can point you toward a sandy beach within walking distance, or the nearby bus stop with service to Golden Sands, Varna, and other destinations. Less than 10 km from the hotel, Varna is called the marine capital or the summer capital of Bulgaria. It boasts many museums and historical sites, such as Roman baths, the Varna Archaeological Museum, the Naval Museum, and the Museum of Ethnography. The Sea Garden, the largest park in town, contains the Varna Aquarium, the Festa Dolphinarium, an observatory and planetarium, a museum of natural history, and a zoo. A string of beach clubs line the waterfront promenade, and many visitors enjoy shopping along Prince Boris Boulevard.
