Old Plovdiv House is a mid-range hotel at Georgi Benkovski 15, close to Kapana and the pedestrian centre. It has an unusually good range of facilities for its price: a spa with massage, a steam room and a sauna, a gym, a restaurant and a terrace. Rooms are Standard and Deluxe Doubles and Standard, Superior and Deluxe Studios with a queen bed and a queen sofa bed, sleeping up to four. Rooms have kitchenettes with a refrigerator and microwave, sound-insulated walls and air conditioning, and bathrooms with tubs or showers and free toiletries. Free WiFi, express check-in and check-out, luggage storage, a safe at the front desk and laundry services make it practical. The studios make it a good fit for families and for anyone staying several nights who wants to keep a few snacks and drinks in the room.
Location and getting around
Kapana, with its restaurants and bars, is on the doorstep, and the central pedestrian street, the Roman Stadium and the Old Town are all within a short walk. That gives you a quiet room in a lively district. Taxis to the station or airport are inexpensive, and you can walk to most of the sights in this guide.
The rooms and who it suits
The Deluxe and Superior Studios have the most space, and the sound-insulated walls help if you are close to the nightlife. The spa area, steam room and sauna are a welcome way to recover after a day on the cobbles, particularly in cooler months. It suits couples who want a spa evening, families who want a studio with a kitchenette, and travellers who prefer self-catering for some meals. Solo travellers will find the standard doubles comfortable and fairly priced.
Good to know
Breakfast is not part of the standard amenities, and some guests report there is none, so plan to eat at one of the many cafes in Kapana, which is easy and pleasant. Parking is available for a daily fee, with limited spaces, and guests have found it unavailable unless reserved in advance, so book a space ahead if you are driving.
Because the hotel is near a nightlife district, ask for an upper floor or a room away from the street if you want quiet. Prices are in the middle of the market, with good value for the facilities, and rates dip outside summer and festival weekends. A strong choice for a relaxed base with a spa and a kitchenette.
