Hi just back from GS our 3rd visit & have already booked for next year 2006, but not to the Pliska and I can honestly say this will be the last time We stay in the Pliska.
Good Points.
1 great pool.
Bad Points.
1 unfriendly staff.
2 no air con.
3 children given no change when going for ice cream & juice @ the bar.
4 Tall Young receptionist a disgrace to her profession.
5 Beds made from Granite same goes for pillows .
6 Bar area resembles Bultins circa 1950 (picnic benches).
7 Balconies with access to all guests on your floor.
8 shoes & towels taken from pool area
9 Pliska Angels Karaoke Bar fighting in toilets that my lad 8, walked in on , which carried on outside & an Ambulance had to attend.
10 One or two Hookers spotted in Hotel.
If it had not been for meeting some great guests in the Pliska our stay in the Pliska would have been unbearable.

After a bad start on the plane given seats that didn't exist we arrived at the Pliska, outside not as pictured but ok.
The twin room we were given was clean spacious and reasonably comfortable.
The hotel on the whole was clean and toilets were always kept very clean.
Location was alright as stated in brochure about 5mins walk away lovely beach very clean.
The food in the hotel would have been acceptable but wouldn`t say it was brilliant. The complaint I have about this is, if you were self catering or b&b there was a large selection of food reasonably priced, but we were half board and we got a set menu which I was disgusted with. Most of the time it was the same menu choice of 3 most of which I couldn`t eat so we ended up having to eat out although we had already paid for our meals (food far better in restaurants).
Most of the staff were able communicate in English and were pleasant and polite.
There was one tall blonde receptionist who was very rude and unpleasant.
The entertainment could have been a lot better as it was the same singer every night and by the third day you knew what she was going to sing and in what order.
I would not visit this hotel again but only because I never use the same accommodation twice.

Stayed at Hotel Pliska, Never again, Room reminded me of a youth hostel in the 50's. Staff were generally very pleasant with the exception of the youngest receptionist whose face would crack if she tried to smile.
Never tried the food as the menu's all seemed to cater for German taste, Pool area was very nice and clean with the very attentive lifeguard, poolside staff were also very pleasant and attentative.
I left a couple of Leva for the maid every morning and the room was spotless, she even went to the trouble of laying out fresh towels in various shapes, like swans or Bow-ties, a nice touch.
There was a lot of noise, shouting and even children running up and down the corridor in the early hours, which really disturbed your nights sleep, and some days I was really knackered because of this. This is the fault of the guests of course not the hotel but I feel that if the room walls were not paper thin then that would not have been a problem.
No air conditioning which made for very sticky nights. Could not lock the balcony door, it was made that way, but nothing went missing.
And no kettle in the room so no tea first thing.
The bar was expensive compared to the resort prices and the beer was rubbish, so we stayed out all day and night and only slept in the hotel.
I felt as though the Staff in this Hotel were making the best of a bad thing.

We went allocation on arrival 3 star with Balkan to this hotel at the end of May and would rate it as 2 star or possibly 2 and a half star, definitely not 3 star.
The breakfast was ok - for a 2 star. The beds were the hardest I have ever slept (or tried to sleep) on but worst of all we had things stolen from our room as did another couple. It was obviously someone with keys - the other couple had a phone and charger stolen, which were located separately in the room - ie the charger was in a suitcase so they must have had a good rout around.
Apart from that, the hotel was ok - the outdoor pool is a good size although the trees cast a shadow over in the afternoon which makes the water quite chilly, but there is a nice indoor pool as an alternative. The hotel is also in a quieter part of the resort and there are two lifts from reception to the ninth floor, although after a while, it gets to be a pain walking between them.
We only tried two meals at the hotel, both weren't up to much. Wouldn't want to visit this hotel again and glad we didn't pay full price, although everyone we spoke to there had come allocation on arrival.

We went to this hotel,as it was higly reccommended by the travel agent, however this hotel reminded me of a third world hotel rather than a recently refurbished hotel.
Their was no sign of english food on the menu only chips and when they served eggs they were cold.
The location of the hotel was about 15 away from the centre of town and it was a down hill walk. Also at night time the hotel was used by prostitutes. As we walked home from the bars at night the place was swarming with prostitutes.
The hotel staff did not communicate with us and refused to acknowledge us untill the day we were leaving. The only entertaintment avalilable was Elvis if you like that sort of thing.
I would definately never visit this hotel again and would never go never this part of Bulgaria ever.

stayed at the pliska in 2002 with hubby & mother
hotel was clean,the rooms were cleaned every day no complaints there,but the bar area was however a bit on the scruffy side.
a word of warning the lifts did not start until the third floor (reception was on 2) we had three cases and got no help with them.
food (breakfast) was typical bulgarian buffet style,cereal,tea,coffee etc.no better or worse than any other hotel we have stayed in,but get there early or else.staff in all areas of the hotel were very good bar staff and reception were the best very helpful.
the hotel is located a bit off the action but the nearest bar/restaurant is 200yds away the beach is 5/10min walk away
the upside of the location is its quiet on a night we got good nights sleep (could have been the martini).
