The value here was pretty incredible. We paid only 22 EUR per night for a double room. That said, this is a budget hotel. While the furniture seemed new and freshly updated, the carpet and bedspread were a bit shabby (and the carpet may have contributed to a slightly stale odour in the room).The bathroom facilities were in excellent repair, however. There was a hairdryer, and shampoo, etc. was provided.
The best aspect of this hotel was the service. The staff was extremely friendly and spoke good English. They made us fresh coffees in the morning without us even needing to ask. They also let us pay for the room in cash in our currency of choice (which was EUR), and they stored our luggage for us on the last day.
The location was great! It was about a 10 minute walk from old Plovdiv. We were initially a bit apprehensive about staying across the bridge from the old city since some parts of Plovdiv look a bit sketchy, but the immediate neighbourhood around the hotel seems to be relatively lively. There are a couple of large grocery stores, multiple pharmacies, bank machines, and a few outdoor bars/eateries all within a block or two.
To get to the old city from the hotel, the easiest way is to hang a left after exiting the building. Then take a right and walk across the bridge. Just over the bridge, you'll come to a pedestrian underpass next to an old hammam. Hang a right pretty much anywhere after emerging from the underpass, and you'll find yourself on the outskirts of old Plovdiv.
A couple of quibbles/oddities that we encountered:
-The doors in the rooms don't automatically lock, so be sure to lock the door manually before you go to sleep at night.
-The mini fridge in the room wasn't fully stocked (i.e. it was missing chocolate bars that were listed on the menu), but what was there (juice, pop, beer, etc.) was reasonably priced (for example, a beer was 2 BGN).
-The wireless internet connection was only marginally effective; however, there was a highspeed wire that worked really well.
-The "double" bed was actually two single beds pushed together.
-Housekeeping needs a little work. There was a bag of mouldy bread that we found in a drawer in the room when we arrived (clearly left over from the last guests who had stayed there), and one day they didn't remove our dirty coffee cups from the room when they cleaned it.
-The toilet paper was coarse and rough, although this seems to be the norm for bathroom tissue in Bulgaria.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay and recommnd this as an affordable and convenient option if you're staying in Plovdiv.
