Nothing is right on the slopes but you can get close to the Gondola. New 5 star called the Arena then there is the perun (v nice) I satyed there last Jan and then the Strazhite which is also very nice. The Arena is right next to the Gondola station, the Perun and Strazhite about 5 mins walk.

Hi Phil

All of the hotels have a good bus service to the slopes. I stayed in the Pirin this year which was also excellent. Because Bansko is a real town and not a purpose built resort a lot of the hotels are a bus ride away apart from the new ones like the Arena and the Perun. Personally I would find the Arena a little too far from the town for the evening.

Cheers
Val Very Happy Very Happy

Hi Phil

The Strazhite is good all rounder for proximity to slopes and town. Hotel seemed clean and friendly when ever I went in to change currency. By the way it's better to change currency out in ansko and do it at the banks..
