32 sqm
Dove toiletries
Comfortable king size bed
Excellent sound proof (room was on the 1st floor)

What was good and what was bad?
Good:
- Location
- Restaurant offers good choice of meals with very affordable prices (and 10% service charge)
- Provided service was excellent
- Early checkin is possible. I was able to use the room at 11:00
- 24/7 working pharmacy down the road (500m)

Neutral:
- Early checkin policy can be communicated better. At the front desk I was advised that as a Diamond member I can request an early checkin at 12:00 at least 24h in advance and if the room is available it is free of charge. If no request or earlier arrival (like in my case 11:00) you can still checkin with current price of ~15EUR (again subject to availability)

Bad:
- Nothing

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
Hotel provided excellent value for the money (~145EUR at best flexible rate). If I need to stay in Plovdiv I will return for sure
