That sounds a bit expensive to me. I would have thought it would cost less than £2000 to be honest. Me thinks they saw you coming.

Stayed there last year.

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 ...

Now the sore points.

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. Crying but until you do Booze Wink
