Hotel Park Imperial

If you go to Plovdiv, Hotel Park Imperial is a nice place to get a room. I've been staying there on every visit since 2006 October. The staff is friendly, the rooms are good, there is internet in almost every room. However, their restaurant is getting worse, now the english speaking waiters have disappeared, and the service is slow.

Mirena Hotel

The hotel opened in April, 2008, so when I stayed there it was rather new. The rooms are good, they have free internet (cable, not wi-fi, but you can ask for a cable at the reception), and they speak English at the reception. Some tips however: 1) If you can avoid the rooms n01, n02, n03 (n depends on the floor) as they face the Maria Luiza Blvd and are rather noisy, even during the night. 2) The restaurant is not too good. The waitresses and the waiters don't speak English, so placing an order is limited to pointing on the name of the food. 3) You better hang something on the television set in the room, the blue LED is awfully bright and faces the bed. 4) The breakfast is good but simple, so if you are into the big swedish type breakfast this is not for you.

This is my home city. So these are some places to go to: 1) The main pedestrian street, especially at summer, a lot of people a lot shiny stores and coffee shops where you could chill 2) Roman antic theater 3)The old town - situated on one of several hills in plovdiv, traditional architecture, very nice atmosphere There are more things if you need more write me on boyko.botev@abv.bg
