BOROVETS HOTELS & SNOW

Hi all, I'm thinking of trying Boro' this year, been to Pamps last 2 years.
Could someone please advise me on best hotels close to centre and night life but not noisy in rooms (old guy! :-)?
I know the weather is unpredictable but when is usually best time for skiing?
Thanks.......Dave

re:BOROVETS HOTELS & SNOW

Can't advise on hotels as I always stay out of centre as I like peace and quiet.
Personally I think best time for skiing is early march

Most of the hotels are in or very close to the centre of Borovets.

Rila, Samakov, Ice Angels, Iglika Palace, Festa, Alpin, Royal Plaza, Ela are smack bang in the centre of the village, and close to all the bars. Have a look on tripadvisor or booking.com for more detail on the individual hotels, and to see what fits your budget.

I've stayed at the Samakov, Iglika and Royal Plaza, all several times. Royal Plaza is actually apartments/studios and can be noisy if you have one overlooking ...

I've stayed at the Samakov, Iglika and Royal Plaza, all several times. Royal Plaza is actually apartments/studios and can be noisy if you have one overlooking the main street. Saying that, anywhere can be noisy if you get drunks stumbling back to their rooms in the middle of the night!

There's a fair few of us regulars out at the end of February - come and join us!

Thanks for the info GFF! My initial thought was Iglika Palace Feb 20-27th probably from Manchester.
You may be going the following week, yes?

Radinas Way is superb. A short taxi ride away or 15 min walk.

re:BOROVETS HOTELS & SNOW

Is that the Bulgarian half term? Naturally I avoid our half term week because the prices double and it'll be mega busy.
Last year I think it was the week after our half term when I went to Pamps and it was crowded with Bulgarian kids because it was their half term.
I hope to avoid both of these weeks this year!
