The Park Hotel offered everything you'd expect from a hotel of this type. Helpful reception desk & manager.... still getting used to UK visitors & English spoken at a more basic level. However, extremely keen to help & develop communication skills. We only took breakfast at the PHP, this was basic and plentiful. Hot food limited to scrambled eggs & bacon. Don't worry about the small Go-kart track, it is not noisy or intrusive. (I think it's for children so they're lower powered karts) We arrived late on the first night & they stopped by 22:00. There was no more activity for the rest of the week. Book a taxi via reception: they have a contract with a reputable company rather than one man band. Fares are very reasonable to local destinations & to airport. (4 star rating only due to limited breakfast range) We'd return to the Plovdiv & hotel again.

“The location is not optimal, but the service is good”

The hotel was under renovations when I booked and I was not notified.

The hotel was under renovations when I booked and I was not notified. I was not able to roll my luggage from the entry to the elevator, which would not have been an issue except I was never offered any assistance from the desk staff. In and out, with each piece no one ever offered assistance, over electrical cord or inconsistent flooring. The staff was friendly and nice otherwise. The room was perfect for my needs, with a few exceptions. A previous user’s shampoo was still left opened in the shower area and there were no floor towels provided. Indeed I nearly broke my ankle in the bathroom one evening because the floor is very slippery and only two hand and body towels were provided. I also had to personally correct a drainage issue in which my toilet operating pushed water onto the floor, by correcting the collar behind the toilet to be flush with the line. The location of the hotel is nice if you don’t wish to see the best parts of Plovdiv and to listen to the whirring and rumbling of the go kart track across the street. That’s my fault because I booked without knowing but if you’re looking to be close to the history of the city then this is not the place for you. The spa and sauna were excellent, and I would stay again just for that. Also the restaurant was good and the simple pasta meal I enjoyed was one of the best I enjoyed in Plovdiv over my four day stay. Also one evening I ventured to the old city for dinner and the hotel desk called for me a taxi and she was very nice.

“Average hotel experience ”

As we had a bus to take us to the city centre and back, the location was good as it was quiet at night.

As we had a bus to take us to the city centre and back, the location was good as it was quiet at night. The overall condition of the hotel is good though our room was very small, actually too small for two people. The toilet flush was running all the time and when it broke down, I had to fix it myself. But room and bathroom were very clean and our night was quiet. Breakfast variety and quality were modest, service at breakfast poor. The receptionists and especially the barman were friendly and helpful.
