re: Location of Samokov Hotel

spot on - thanks!
it prob looks super as its covered in snow and the tiger is hyped up from being on holiday and being able to ski
I dont care how bad it is as its just a bed to rest my head...or broken ankle if I dont listen to the instructor!!

re: Location of Samokov Hotel

I have stayed there before! Its a nice place with really friendly staff. Not the most modern looking place (compared to English standards) but it is nice.

re: Location of Samokov Hotel

Yes the hotel is only minutes away from the Rila slopes, it can be abit tricky walking up hill in those lovely ski boots! sure to get anyone FIT !!!!
samokov is brilliant loads to do, when you get back from the slopes, if your not too knackered !!!!!!
Food good to, JUST GOT BACK SUNDAY MISSING IT ALREADY!!!!!!!! WOULD GO BACK> TOMORROW

re: Location of Samokov Hotel

That walk up to the Rila slopes gets real icy and i have seen some bad accidents in the past so be on your guard and be careful.
Mind you most of the accidents have been in the evenings with people going to a fro to different bars and now it is part of the EU maybe they can borrow some salt to put down as they sure need it.
