Kaylaka Park in Pleven

Our stay on August 9-10, 2025 was a bit of a mixed bag. The location is a major plus, nestled right in the beautiful Kayluka park. However, this scenic view is a bit spoiled by the unfinished buildings in the hotel's backyard, which gives the area a neglected feel.
The staff was great. The receptionist was helpful and professional, and the restaurant staff was courteous and efficient. We enjoyed the signature dishes, though we found the prices to be a bit on the high side. The wine list was a pleasant surprise, offering an eclectic and interesting selection of local, national, and imported wines across all price points. Another great perk is the free access to the paid swimming pool next to the hotel. Plus, parking is included and readily available.
On the downside, the hotel's age (dating back to the 1950s) is noticeable. The rooms feel small, and the renovations appear to have been done on a budget. We had a particularly frustrating experience in room 102 where the air conditioning was faulty, turning on and off intermittently and becoming quite annoying. The bathtub drainage was also clogged, which was inconvenient.
Overall, while the excellent service, location, and amenities like the free pool and parking are a draw, the dated and somewhat worn out rooms were a significant drawback to our stay.

Was at a wedding hosted by this hotel. First thing you are greeted by at the reception are two refrigerators with drinks and shelves full of potato chips. That's absurd! This totally ruined my first impression as I felt like being in a village's shop! Maybe it was because the restaurant had to cook for all guests of the wedding but the food was NOT of quality. The rooms were quite ok, but there was no toilet paper holder and I had to constantly turn to put the paper roll on the water tank! Also the bath tub was not the cleanest. You could definitely see yellowing on the bottom of the tub. Would definitely NOT recommend!
