Pliska Hotel

just back from bulgaria staying at the hotel taking the pliska, as everyone says the hotel rooms where basic but it was somewhere to rest your head. food well where do i start thats it fruit and ice cream great if u can beat the germans and the russians to it, that go's for them eating the food to piles and piles of it on a plate hotel staff was good the one behind the bar not so good ingnorant and un friendly just done they own thing till there where ready serve you, 2300 the bar starts charging for the drinks well thats it enjoy have a good holiday ooohhhh i forgot lol the entertainmant ha a joke no wonder it was quiet there on the nights same songs same old couple unbealivable

just back from a week at hotel pliska...and i dont know where to start! the rooms were very basic...2 single beds, a tv, phone and fridge (which i found strange e considering they had a sign up saying food and drink in the room is forbidden). was bed and breakfast but only ate this on the first morning as now of the food was very appetising at 7am....buffet style breakfast consisting of a variety of pastas and cakes, pates and feta cheese! and i noticed that all inclusive food was the same thing every single day at breakfast lunch and dinner although the pool side resteraunts food was delicious....highly recommend chicken on the grill, chicken skewers and burgers.
the hotel and the rooms were exceptionally clean, and we had clean towels every day without fail, the maids were all lovely and seemed quite trustworthy as nothing every went missing from the room!
a major downside for me was the dangerous floors throughout the entire hotel....there was 5 accidents during my 7 days there
- an elderly man slipped in ool side toilets and broke his ribs
-2 young girls slipped by pool..1 split her head open and the other badly hurt her foot ending up with crutches for the remainder of her holiday
-a woman fell down the stairs and hurt her spin
-a woman slipped carrying her baby and bruised her thigh and side.
all could have been prevented if the flooring was safer....marble flooring through out the hotel and tiles around the pool!
the majority of staff were very friendly with excetion to 2 female members of waiting staff who were very rude! on one occasions my friend chips came with cheese...we asked for no cheese...waitress took the huff...scrapped the cheese off the top and brought them back to the table and on another occasion my last piece off food hadnt even reached my mouth and the plate was gone from under me then the waitress stood with her hand on her hip waiting for my friend to finish her meal...took the late then held her hand out and said 'you pay me now'!!! gobsmacked!!! the hotels evening entertainment was interesting....each night they had the same couple singing the same songs (dreadfully might i add) along with another 2 acts each night which were always different and highly amusing....but the singers were getting too uch to cope with!!
but all in all we had a good time in bulgaria...met alot of lovlely people some of with were staff...would higly recommend the resort but i wont be returning to this articular hotel!! and if your going to golden sands...you must try hurry ramsdens breakfasts and mamma mias pizza and pastas!!

what a holiday!! FANTASTIC !!. We must admit we were unsure about going to bulgaria at first as there was only the two of us going and we had heard so much bad feedback about the resort golden sands such as it being dirty with lots of beggers and pick pockets etc. we found none of this, Hotel Pliska was FANTASTIC the staff were always happy to help and always greeted you with a smile. Our room was basic but as we were bed and breakfast we didnt expect anymore. we had a fridge and television. Our room was cleaned everyday without fail, clean sheets and towels. i never had concerns about the maids stealing as i left my phone in the room twice and it was still there.

After reading reviews we were a bit anxious about our chosen hotel. However we were very pleasantly surprised. The hotel is 3 star so as long as you are not expecting too much it was great. The maids came every day and changed the towels and sheets regularly. The staff were generally helpful and friendly (those who weren't just struggled with the English language). Pool was a good size and a reasonable amount of sunbeds. There was a good choice of food for breakfast, smoething to suit all tastes.The hotel is conveniently located at the end of party street which means that you are close enough to all the shops bars etc but not too close so that you are disturbed by the noise. Golden Sands is a nice resort but does cater a lot for 18-30 so you may want to avoid certain areas at night if you have young children. Our kids enjoyed the hotel. My teenager nade great use of internet facilities with his mates and the small play area kept my 7 year old and his mates occupied at night. The hotel puts on nightly entertainment, it's not up to much but gave a pleasant environment to sit and drink with other people.
We would go back to this hotel if we go back to Golden Sands but we like to go somewhere different every year.

Visited Golden Sands with a great deal of trepidation, after reading reviews that it was loud and full of prostitutes and youg people.
Therefore we were pleasently suprised to discover the hotel was really nice and clean, friendly staff. Loads of resteraunts and bars. You can get any kind of food you like. If you are english visit Hurry Ramsdens (Jerry) on Golden Sands beach, he serves real english bacon and eggs, pies and fish and chips lovely cheap food. All the people there are friendly. We never saw any bad behaviour (or prostitutes.) I would definitly return to this resort. Great holiday.

The hotel was the cleanest hotel i think i have stayed in. the staff never stopped cleaning the whole week we were there and the pool was spotless. we would recommend Hotel pliska to anyone who is thinking of going to golden sands and we will most definatley be going back next year lookin forward to it already.

just got back from one week at golden sands. although the resort isn,t bad, the hotel pliska was about as welcoming as typhoid! the staff were very unfriendly. the jacuzzi was none exsistant, the rooms were not cleaned thoroughly enough. the toilet didnt flush, the shower head didnt fit properly, there is no privacy on the balcony, we had to keep the curtains closed all of the time, there was a scum line all around the indoor pool, the fridge in our room was rubbish, and the maids were helping themselves to a sneaky spray of my girlfriends perfume. although we did get clean towels every day, we had to use one as a foot mat. also there was a sweet wrapper under our bed the whole week we was there. ( not ours). i would not recommend this hotel to anyone. you have been warned!

15 lads form Ireland went away and we all stayed in this hotel... had an amazing time the whole week!! The food in the hotel was great and the service and staff were top class!! The rooms were basic but always clean... I would advise you to take your own loo roll as theirs cuts the hole off you!! Totally top class holiday!! We're even going next year!!

For the little amount paid for this hotel it was ok. The location is right in the heart of the resort so it’s very loud and occasionally there were violent drunk people in the hotel so I’m not sure if it is appropriate for children.
If you are unfortunate to land in Golden sands on holiday then I’m sure you will realise that the staff are no friendlier than everyone else in Bulgaria, as is not friendly or helpful at all. The entertainment is really loud and REALLY rubbish and goes on all night, but the food for breakfast is ok and actually for the tiny amount of money we paid it was very good.
You are literally in the town too, so not hard to drunkenly stagger back to the hotel.
