Hello

Stayed the Lion a few weeks ago.

The food is ok, breakfasts are not bad, fruit, cereal, toast, bread and some hot things like eggs and ham. Not always the hottest and I wouldnt say 4star as we know it but you should find something you can eat. Only stayed at the Lion bed and breakfast, had dinner in the bar a couple of nights and that was fine, pizzas were good. Would venture into town at night though for meals.

Rooms are nice and big, bathrooms lovely, make sure if you are ...

Rooms are nice and big, bathrooms lovely, make sure if you are staying above the disco that you are on at least the fourth floor otherwise you will def hear the noise.

The pool and sauna area is nice, if you want robes request them from reception when you get there as each day they seem to run out very quickly, you have to ask about 10 or 11 in the morning if you want to get them.

Buses go to the gondola but its walkable I would say, takes about ten mins.

All in all a nice new clean hotel with comfortable rooms. The staff are generally nice except for the pool attendant who didnt crack a smile!

Have a good hol!

re: Bansko

ditto above you will be fine
if you are in ski school bring skis and boots back to hotel store room then you wont have to wait for gondola ski store to open and can just get on the gondola - misses queues if there are any next week.
Oh and the massage is to die for - good about wed. when the muscles are groaning!
Have a great time wish I was going back
