Bulgaria Ski discussion board

hi pete
we stayed there last week so here are a few answers. ski hire is through samokov hotel or at least through balkan holidays it was. We arrived on sunday so all the quality stuff was taken but it didn't look bad. Rooms decent maid service every day and quite tidy.Hot water lots although it is light brown stick with the bottles for drinkin.sauna they have 1 but we didnt use it . swimming pool is outside and under about 6 feet of snow. Food was pretty good i'm a qualified chef myself and found it hard to complain for what we paid a little repetative but not bad.And plenty of places to eat in town so you dont have to eat at the hotel all the time.Access to the resort is good free bus runs quite often they'll give you a schedule and taxi's are always available in town dont pay more than 10 lev they will say 15 or 20 just say 10 no more they'll keep drivin. general tips if you can ski head up the gondola on the first few days before they take the ski schools up there later its like having heaven all to yourself,other than that enjoy.
