Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Helen and friends-- for a fantastic meal and quite reasonably priced(cheap) try the restaurant opposite the whitehouse, walk out of pamp hotel turn right, up the hill then turn right again the restaurant is on the right side(opp' the whitehouse--NOT the whitehouse), We spent 3 evenings there it's great atmosphere, music, brill' and service v.good, food excellent(try the mountain dish-for a starter-WOW!!!).
Menu is vast takes about 20 mins to decide what to choose.
You must book this place it's very, very popular with the bulgarians.
We stayed at pamp hotel last week and food has become more like school dinners, our fourth time and quite disappointed with food---sorry.
have a good hol' everybody.

Helen, - We were at the Hotel Pamporovo for a week to 1st of Feb. and can't figure out the comments about the pool temperature, which I used each evening after a hard days skiing, and a free sauna, which is definately worth doing !

The temp. seemed ok to me, ( there's a guage on the wall by the pool reception desk, which shows all of the pool details - Chlorine levels etc.,), and I agree with the other thread comment, that cooler is better than warmer. - You do need to have your own towel to use the pool, or to hire one at poolside at 1 lev. if reqd.

We had a great time, especially if you see how little everything costs,- Hope you do likewise. Regards Big Tone.

Pool is a "little" on the cool side - fine for me though. Too small for a serious swim As tone said, towels are 1 lev to hire so take one from the room. They will supply you with extra towels if you ask. BUT - they told us that ONLY the first sauna was free, but I dare say if you complain they will let you use it all week for free. You can also ask the hotel for a bath robe (you might have to "insist"). I walked from the room to the pool in my robe (gave everybody a shock no doubt!). Also, I would recommend flip flops as it can be slippy pool side. Also, there was never any shampoo/ shower gell in the showers!.
