Park Hotel Stara Zagora

10/10 Excellent
"We celebrated a 40th anniversary over 3 nights in this, modern attractive and comfortable hotel. Our room was well furnished overlooking the lake. The bed was extremely comfortable and the en suite lovely. The breakfast was varied with hot and cold choice all of which were tasty. The menu for lunch and dinner was extensive and reasonably priced plus a very large choice of spirits and some cocktails. The coffee was delicious. The staff were all very professional and helpful. I would recommend this hotel."
