I'm looking to take my wife to Pamps (after reading all the recommendations on the board) and was wondering which is a nice place to stay on a fairly tight budget. I don't want my wife's main memory of her first ski holiday to be how badly we were stung for a naff hotel.
My choice would be the Murgavets slap bang in middle of resort recenr refurb nice and clean comfortable rooms. Also has a very nice spa. The Pamporovo is newer but will cost you a bit more so in my opinion not worth the extra also it is out of the resort so you will be last on th ski bus pick up wich means you will be lucky to get a seat! Perelik is an older style Hotel but I belive they are updating the rooms. Problem with the Perelik is you might ...

Cheers for the quick reply. Just looked up the hotel and it looks to be good , both in price and in standard. Couple more questions for you, if you don't mind. Which is the nearest airport, and do you know if the hotel will lay on transport to/from it?
Plovdiv is about 1 hour and half transfer. Sofia is about a 4 hour transfer. Can only agree with others - Murgavets is the best hotel. Nice Hotel and in center of resort. Pamporovo Hotel is nice (more stars) but its outside of the main resort center.
Tried to get Murgavets but fully booked for period in Feb we want. Got space in the Finlandia. Any good? Looks nice and actually works out a little cheaper than Murgavets.
Checked a shed load of operators. All working out more expensive than booking all the bits and bobs myself. Using my BA airmiles for one of the flights has saved us £250. Ended up paying £633 for 2 ppl, 4* accom in the Finlandia, BA flights, airport transfer in Bulgaria included (from sofia). Can't be bad!

Looking forward to a good holiday. What could possibly go wrong now!!??
