There is a atm in the side of the Kempinski hotel near gondola , best rates are at the banks not the little huts , bring crisp £20 notes , alot wont take notes with writing on it or tron notes , maybe bring about £50 of levs from uk , but again not from airport as rate is less ......happy banskoing

Last week we were surprised to get a better, commission free rate at reception in Kempinski; 1£ = 220Lev best we saw anywhere else was 215.

No they didn't ask for id, but maybe they guessed we were staying there, make up a number I can't see them checking, or tell them your going for dinner.
