Hostel Old Plovdiv

This marvellous old building (1868) is more akin to a boutique hotel than a hostel. Remarkably restored by charismatic owner Hristo Giulev and his wife, this genial place in the middle of the Old Town is all about old-world charm. Every room features hand-picked antiques (from the decor to the beds themselves), and the courtyard is desperately romantic.
