I've stayed at both the Rila and Samokov and have to say there really isn't a huge differance between them.
Personally i prefer the Rila.. its position, breakfast better and restaurant not as dark! Pool warmer!
The beds were better in Samokov and the walls weren't quite as thin as the Rila! I did prefer the bar at Samokov too, but at the prices they charge how often do you drink there?
Thank you Amanda, Daring red, Sam and Missizippi, sorry for calling you smart arse, i thought you were being sarky.
Oh and Kim, funny thing is we will have a nice holiday whether you wish us one or not.
Brian and Sheryl
Stayed at the Samokov a few times now- allways found it ideal for close access to the Gondola.
Food ok- allways found something to eat- soups good!
Pool coolish like!- bowling alley and games roon,pool and machines upstairs- clean and best bit- Samokov ski school in basement- ideal!
no worries Brian & Sheryl, no offence taken - and thanks for coming back to reply again.
Come back to the forum after your holiday and let us know how it went!
No, trying to be funny actually. You know, having a laugh! Trying to lighten the mood on this forum which recently seems to be full of depressives! Nothing more, nothing less.
Hi Have stayed at the Samokov a few times, the food is ok, its very big but has reasonable facillities, the staff are friendly. The bedrooms are clean and comfortable, they look a little dated but thats more the decor than the quality (Brown and green). I am going again for New Year 09-10 so it must be ok. The posistion to the Gondola is the main reason we go back again.
