Hello to all the sad ones who are already frequenting the ski websites, (just like me), have any of you been to the Guinness hotel in bansko? not that it matters cos I just booked a great deal with balkan .lol .under £3000 for 6 adults 2 child, 3 x 2 bed apartments cheaper than a studio flat and a full ski package fantastic. FaNtAsTiC Fan*£$&%##tastic. Bring it on. Bring it on. Bring it on. Now thats off my chest good evening to all the forum supporters from last season.
Hotel really impressive. Good quality rooms and cleaned regularly.
Very open once you walk in and you can see all rooms in the hotel on different floors.
Small swimming pool with sauna and steam room.
Food was average on the whole. Some good nights some soso nights. There is a small restaurant below........avoid. You are a 5 minute walk to the gondola that has a great pizzeria/ italian beside it.
Now the sore points.
Alcohol was extortinate. No ...
Stayed there last year.

Alcohol was extortinate. No draught beer, only imported bottles. Aprox 7 leva per bottle spirits higher again.
You are quite a dander from other bars / restaurants and will require taxis ( another story in itself there)
The ouside was a building site last year, very muddy, so hopefully that may have changed.
Overall, large , very open in design, very chique in design. Warm clean and well appointed despite lacking atmoshere, cosiness and being on the expensive side. Close location to gondola and ski rental.
Perfect for the loner, who does not drink and will eat anything and wants to be first on the slopes in the morning
Any more questions, shout away
Thanks DW, taxis are an experience I agree but hey ho I'll be on holiday.
Cubanpete can you get it cheaper? I searched and searched and couldn't. Thats all flights, taxes,and transferes, 3 x 2 bed apartments and breakfast, all skis and boots and poles, ski passes, ski school. For 6 adults and 2 kids you can do that for £2000?
If you can do it, share your wonderful info and make me feel bad. but until you do
