This hotel is unsafe. The owner requested that he be paid in cash for the full stay; however, ATMs in Bulgaria do not allow large enough withdrawals at one time to pay the full amount requested. When we did not pay immediately upon arrival because we did not have enough cash, the host, Mitko, locked my family into the hotel and called the police. This was frightening for the children and completely unnecessary since we had assured him that we would pay and he had our passports as security. This was a very serious breach of safety.

The host worth the visit!
Best thing about stay was Mitko, our host. Excellent information about town and Bulgaria. Best we’ve encountered. Cooked special local breakfasts. Room simple with all you need and good bathroom. Bed firm and no decor but restaurant recommendations etc enhanced our trip. Well travelled interesting man.

Nice stay in Roots Hotel & Wine Bar
The owner Mitko is very kind person. He is sommelier with a wealth of knowledge about wines. I highly recommend visiting the hotel and ordering a wine tasting. Everything was fine, we had an amazing time.

Great little hotel.
Hotel Roots was the best place I stayed during my tour of Bulgaria. Close to the historic centre, quiet, super clean and everything as it should be.
The owner, Mitko, is super friendly and quite a character. Cooks up a mean omelette too.
You can’t go wrong here. 10/10

In Plovdiv, This is the Place to Stay.
This is where you want to stay in Plovdiv. As other reviewers have mentioned, Mitko, the owner of this small modern hotel, goes above and beyond to make guests welcome. He has done a wonderful job with this new building that blends in perfectly with the area. Very comfortable in all respects. Plus he is a great chef. We had to stop him from preparing giant breakfasts every morning which he gladly does. We just couldn’t eat it all! Uses first class ingredients.
The location is perfect. It is in the old city, but you can walk just a couple of minutes to an alternate route that takes you to the beautiful modern center in a less than 15 minute walk. Truly the best of both worlds. The Old City is beautiful.
Many thanks to Mitko for being an amazing host. He knows Plovdiv and Bulgaria well. Final mention: he is a sommelier certified in Canada where he lived for many years. When he gives you advice about restaurants, listen to him. He knows his stuff. Plus, most importantly, he is a good person. He made our trip to Plovdiv a special treat.

The Roots Hotel & Wine Bar in Plovdiv was a great experience for us. Miko is a gracious host and made us feel like we were family. From the time he called us to ensure we knew how to get there to his welcoming attitude and helpful suggestions as to where to go and what to do during our 3 day stay. We went with the breakfast included option which was made fresh to order each morning. Lattes, homemade pastries and eggs made as you like were always a great start to our day. His restaurant and bar suggestions were spot on. The room was very clean and and had everything we needed. Would highly recommend to friends and family to stay here. Thanks for making our stay in Plovdiv memorable Miko!

Great little hotel in old town.
The best hotel in Plovdiv. We chose the place because of the good reviews. It exceeded our expectations. The owner I looks really well after all customers. Everything is tailored to your needs. The meals are superb. He surely knows his wines. We will be back in Plovdiv at least so we can stay in the same place again.

Super spot!
We (2 American friends) stayed here last week and it was absolutely fabulous. Everything that previous reviews say about the owner is correct as he joined us for dinner and helped us understand the real Bulgaria.
Previous reviews also didn’t mention that the location is excellent as it is on the edge of the old city and a short walk to the main walking street. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Best. Host. Ever.
This one-man-show is a no frills, clean hotel in a fantastic location with an AMAZING host. Mitko made sure all our needs were not just met, but went out of his way to assure that we felt comfortable in his hotel and enjoyed the beautiful city where he grew up. A few examples:
* I am a celiac and he learned new recipes, bought GF flour, and made special food to fit my diet each morning for breakfast
* He not only gave us a map of the area but marked and described things to do in detail
* He recommended yummy places to eat and drink that fit our budget
* He kept the room sparkling clean and provided everything we needed
* When we were about to leave, he suggested tourist sites to see along our way that would be of interest to us
Highly recommended, especially for first-time visitors to Plovdiv.
