re: Borovets

if the kids are like mine and not keen on walking far in boots then id say the rila or samokov..they are big hotels close to the lifts and with stuff going on for the kids as well...ive stayed in the iglika, flora and ela in the past as well as the rila and samokov...they are all nice enough hotels.

The apartments have kitchens too so it's easy to cater for yourself if you go self-catering.

Downsides: The only downside as far as I am concerned is the sleeping arrangements, each apartment has one bedroom consisting of a double bed and then two people share a double pull ...

Definately worth looking at in my opinion.

We stayed at the Rila when we went to Borovets for the first time two years ago and it was brilliant. Great location, couldn't ask for much more

Just got back from the Flora Hotel. Accomodation was great, food awful. However good restaurants and bars in town. Try Mamacita's, say Hello to Kris and August and Chilli Peppers, say Hello to Katie.

Balkan Holidays are awful, but Borovets was great fun.
