Hotel Evmolpia

This is a really well run hotel with beautiful rooms full of stylish furniture the owner (Hristo) goes the extra mile to ensure you feel welcome and have everything you need for your stay. Our bed was extremely comfortable and although we didn't really like the first pillows there was the option to change and the others were great. There was a huge walk-in shower, air con, hairdryer, iron, it was a perfect base for our time in Plovdiv. The location is just on the edge of the beautiful old town and 5 mins from The Trap.

The only downside for our stay was how loud closing the doors were, both the internal bathroom ones and the main room doors. Not sure there's much you can do in an old building but we certainly knew when each of the other rooms was coming or going.

The location was really great- convenient to both the old town and the newer pedestrian part of town. We didn’t need a car at all. Our room was nice, with a very small little terrace, but had a nice view of the quaint cobblestone streets in old town! The young lady that checked us in, Nikki, was very sweet, and we enjoyed the homemade lemonade. The room was very clean albeit being a bit small. It was nice to have a choice of nine types of pillows too, but we were fine with the ones provided.

We stayed four nights; it would have been nice if the afternoon wine and cheese, as well as the breakfast choices could have been varied. Everything was exactly the same every day. Also, having a bottle of water provided in our room each day would have been a nice touch since it was very warm outside. It was still nice, but “variety is the spice of life” as the saying goes!! We ended up going into the town for breakfast on our last day. Otherwise, it was a pleasant place to enjoy some time in lovely stay in Plovdiv!

Without doubt, the best welcome I have ever had from a hotel. My name was written on a 'welcome board' in reception, I was sat down with a glass of refreshing homemade lemonade and even offered alternative pillows if not happy with what I had. Super spreads at breakfast with a vast array on offer, including homemade jam and chutney. All freshly made. Location was in the heart of the old town and everywhere was within easy walking distance. All the staff were very friendly and the owner/manager personally arranged a private driver to take us on a day trip (at very reasonable cost) out of Plovdiv for the day. All exceptional, amazing service. The hotel was full of character and reflected old style Bulgarian tastes - if you want a bland, modern hotel, then don't stay here - if you want personality and charm and a taste of Bulgarian hospitality, this is a must.

Small gripes considering how good everything else was - there was no plug in the bathroom sink and the replacement shower head did not fit in the clip on the wall, so it had to be handheld. The old-style building and wooden floorboards meant that sound carried through the hotel. The offer of a free glass of red wine was only available for the first night and the stock was not replenished after the second night (to be fair, I didn't raise it with them as I felt it was a bit churlish to ask!)

So much attention to detail. We were greeted by a member of staff who sat down with us to take us through the details of the hotel and things to do and places to eat, as we sipped their home made lemonade. The room was amazing, very spacious with lovely old-fashioned styling. The cheese and wine before we went out each night was very much appreciated. Breakfast was very nicely laid out with a variety of cereal, meat, cheese, yoghurt and bread. It's in an excellent location in the old town, with some of the main places to visit within close walking distance. It is also very close to the Kapana area where there are many places to eat. It was just a couple of of minutes from the bus we took from the bus station.

After an unexpectedly long and tiring trip, while we were thinking we missed the check-in time and were tired to death, we received the kindest message from the host, explaining how to get in, even offering a glass of wine before going to sleep. It was definitely the highlight of our 15 day roadtrip. When we entered the hotel we found lovely notes, welcoming us. The building and the rooms were fascinating. Very comfortable and very tastefully decorated. The staff was kind and helpful. Location was great in terms of access to highlights of Plovdiv. We will definitely go back, just to stay in Evmolpia again.

What a perfect location. Ideally situated for the historic sights of Old Town and just a hop skip and a jump from the excellent restaurants of Kapana. We loved the old times charm of the hotel's decor. Even with freezing temps our room was super warm. Our wonderful host was so friendly and welcoming. My normal top criteria for rating a facility is the shower but even our wonky shower head and not quite as hot as I'd like it water could not drop my excellent rating this time! Highly recommended.

The shower, but so minor in the face of all the positives.

Staffs are so helpful and kind. They welcomed us with delicious handmade lemonade! And free wine and cheese is served during happy hour. Hotel location is best- inside of silent old city and every historic places including ancient theater, and also nice restaurants in Kapana area are only 5-10 min.walking. Hotel has free parking lot. (Need to inform your number plate to hotel staff beforehand, then map will be sent). Room is specious and decorated with antique furnitures. Bed is comfortable and big. I definitely recommend this hotel!!

This hotel is fabulous. It is situated in the old town of Plovdiv and provides free parking, which is a huge bonus in this area. Hristo (we think the owner) will send all details required to enter the old town by car. The hotel decor is fantastic, it is done from older times and yet very pleasing. On arriaval we were met by the most helpful young lady who explained everything about the area, restaurants, shops, places to see etc. She also advised that free wine, unlimited tea and coffee is available all day. Our bedroom(11) was exceptional. It is very big and tastefully designed and spotlessly clean. Ample breakfast is served from 8am and sufficient to start your day. One other nice touch in the hotel was our names were on a welcome message on a large board in reception. If it were possible I would mark this hotel with more than 10 points. We will most cerainly return for a longer stay.

Amazing little hotel in a spot-on location right in the old town. We received a fantastic welcome, it really felt like we were treated as guests of the family, with home-made lemonade and a coffee provided on arrival, a personal chat about what to see and do in Plovdiv, and some lovely wine and cheese provided later in the day, all at no extra cost. The breakfast was also delicious and included local produce and specialities, all explained in person. The room was quirky, comfortable and homely. If you want a real experience of authentic Bulgarian hospitality, look no further - I heartily recommend. Great value too.
