9.2/10 Wonderful! (7 reviews)
Central location but located off a quiet side street. The room was spacious and clean with comfortable beds and had good air-conditioning. The entry key system for late check in had been installed the previous day and they had forgotten to send me details for access. Once I was able to make contact via WhatsApp, they were able to sort this out quickly and I received calls from the manager and the owner to check that everything was okay.

8.4/10 Very good! (353 reviews)
It was a shame that they have a yoghurt machine, as natural Bulgarian yoghurt is the best in the world. The yoghurt from the machine was very disappointing.

8.6/10 Excellent! (122 reviews)
After spending one night at a "horror hotel" upon arrival, we were able to book our group into the Best Western Plus Olives City Hotel. This was the right move - we were three adults and two kids, and the "two-room apartment" they had on the 7th floor was perfect, and an added bonus of a hotel parking and an indoor pool made our lives easier for the duration of the stay. Breakfast was good too! Recommend!

The hotel location is great, with easy access to multiple popular attractions. The hotel staff was very nice. Breakfast was very good. Garage access is problematic, and staff help was needed.
