The Ramada by Wyndham Plovdiv Trimontium stands on Kapitan Raicho Street in the middle of the city, so close to the Roman Forum that it is about a two-minute walk, and only a few minutes more to the Roman Theatre and the pedestrian street. It is a larger, full-service hotel in the international-chain mould, which sets it apart from the boutique houses that dominate the Old Town. The facilities are the real draw: an indoor swimming pool, a spa offering massage and other treatments, a terrace, two on-site restaurants, a hair salon and laundry services, plus a ballroom and banquet hall that make the hotel a regular choice for events. There is also an on-site casino and nightclub, which gives the building a livelier evening atmosphere than many Plovdiv hotels, so light sleepers should ask about room location when booking. Rooms have air conditioning and free WiFi, and a buffet breakfast is available for an additional charge. Parking and an airport shuttle can be arranged for a surcharge, and luggage storage and a front-desk safe are available.
Location and getting around
The hotel is one of the best-placed in Plovdiv for sightseeing on foot. The Roman Forum is next door, the Roman Theatre is an easy walk of under ten minutes, and the Ethnographic Museum and the cobbled lanes of the Old Town are within a reasonable stroll, although the final stretch up the hill is steep.
The pedestrian street, the Roman Stadium at Dzhumaya Square and the cafes of Kapana are all nearby, which makes it a strong base for a first visit. The central train station is a walk of around fifteen minutes or a short taxi ride, and Plovdiv airport is a short drive.
The rooms and who it suits
Expect comfortable, conventional rooms with the amenities you would find in a mid-to-upper-range chain hotel. The hotel suits travellers who value a pool and spa after a day of walking, families and groups who want a large property with on-site dining, business guests who need meeting space and anyone who prefers a predictable, well-equipped hotel to a small guesthouse. It is less suited to travellers who want a quiet historic atmosphere, since the Old Town houses offer that more convincingly, and it is worth considering the casino and nightclub if you want a peaceful night.
Good to know
Confirm the pool and spa hours when you book, since they are limited to certain times of day, and check whether breakfast and parking are included in your rate, because both usually carry a surcharge. The central location means some street and evening noise is possible, so ask for a higher floor or a room away from the entrance.
Rates follow the seasons, with the highest prices during summer festivals and major events, and good value in the cooler months. For a convenient, full-facility base right in the Roman heart of the city, it is a reliable choice.
