Hotel Grand Arena?

Just wondering if anyone had stayed in the Arena, as i havent seen too many posts about it. Just wondering if anyone had some info on it, prices of drinks in the bar, staff, other guests etc.

Thanks.

Stayed there this year and thought it was a great hotel. Of course, the prices are going to be that much more than other hotels as it is a 5* and has all the other little fancy touches that you expect from a 5*. My suggestion would be to NOT spend all night drinking in the hotel as it is expensive. Instead, go out to one of the mehanas for a meal and drinks. Much cheaper and more traditional.

I have stayed in the Strazhite a few times and also enjoyed that hotel, but the Grand Arena is definitely the leading hotel in Bansko and wins hands down. Go to their website and you can find out everything you want to know about the hotel and its facilities.

Great hotel for a touch of luxuary,but best to go out to the local mehanas & bars for the nightlife.All the staff we dealt with couldn't have been more freindly or helpful. Unlees you are looking for Club 18-30 you should really enjoy this hotel.
