Hotel Olymp-Borovets

Hi all,
Just a bit of advise please.
We are considering the hotel Olymp in Boro (it is up past the Flora I believe).
Has anyone stayed there and if so what are the rooms, food like etc, plus any general info would be appreciated.
Regards

Pete

My partner was up at the Alpin Hotel last week and he said it was MAGNIFICENT !!! Apparently it has an Irish co-owner - am sure someone will correct me if i am wrong, but he did say it is a perfect place to stay and the staff were all english speaking and certainly know about customer service.
