Hotel Ego — Hotel in Plovdiv

Unfortunately, I was misled by the glowing comments on Trip Advisor. On the Pro side the Ego is a small, quiet, clean and utilitarian hotel with helpful staff. The breakfast is adequate and had surprisingly tasty orange juice. While the immediate surroundings are depressing the hotel is a 10 minute walk to lively areas. On the Con side the AC is not available until May 1st and our room was so hot that so we had to sleep with the windows open which was a security issue. The bathroom is small with only one tiny shelf for toiletries and no hanger or hooks. The shower floor is dangerously slippery. A rubber mat would have been helpful. Our room was large enough yet there was only a 10 inch trench to get into the right side of the bed while the left side had a large night table and extra space - having 2 smaller night tables would have been useful.

The fruit should was over ripe and should have been thrown away a day, or two ago. There was no dried fruits, or Bulgarian yogurt on the buffet. The hotel is in a great location and it has fee parking. We have always enjoyed the...

A surprisingly good hotel for the price, located very close to the city center. Although situated right next to two very busy boulevards, the staу was pretty quiet and pleasant. The beds were comfortable, but the pillows were so unbelievably thin I had to stack both together and then fold them over to be usable at all - if I'd been on a trip with my partner this would ruin our sleep. Everything was clean and warm, and the bathroom spacious and fitted with all the necessities. Reasonably priced mini bar.

Update: Went there with my spouse, and the pillows indeed wrecked our necks - please do something about that. Otherwise the experience was...
