10/10 Excellent
"We stayed at HillHouse Plovdiv for one night before continuing our trip toward the Black Sea, and we would absolutely stay here again! The staff was incredibly kind and helpful from the moment we arrived. They saved a parking spot for our rental car, parked it for us, and helped bring our luggage to the room. The staff was also close to our age, which made their local recommendations especially helpful and relevant. My partner is Bulgarian and speaks the language fluently, while I do not, so I also really appreciated how easily the staff could communicate with both of us in Bulgarian and English. The property is tucked away from the road, making it surprisingly quiet despite its fantastic location. Our room was modern, updated, exceptionally clean, and comfortable. It’s just a short walk uphill to the Ancient Theatre and Old Town, as well as an easy walk to Plovdiv’s city center with tons of shopping, restaurants, and cafés. Complimentary breakfast was included, although we slept too late to try it—definitely something for next time! We had an excellent stay and would 100% recommend HillHouse to anyone visiting Plovdiv."
