re: Samokov hotel
I don't get this. do you lot just book places without knowing what facilities you are getting.re: Samokov hotel
the brochures don't alwaysl give the exact picture.They forget to tell you about the need for toilet roll etc.

re: Samokov hotel
hey cathy, dont worry about ian , its his time of the month
the room are basic in the samokov , but they do supply towels, you get a small TV if i remember correctly toilet paper is supplied , but if you prefur your smoth double velvet take it as the bulgarian loo roll is not as luxurious.no kettle, no iron ,
however the food is ok and the main bar is very nice with big comfy chairs , and there is a very nice coffee area too.
have fun , Kel

Hello there
We returned to uk on 15th Jan having stayed in the Samokov the only thing i can say is that the hotel its self is good the rooms are clean and warm ,there are no tea or coffee making facilities in the rooms and the "sattelite tv" is actually cable and you will be lucky to find any english speaking programmes on it .
The best piece of advice i can give is be very warey of the food . Breakfast is ok but usually needs warming up in the microwave and the evening meal... well its ...

Try the borosport bar and francos pizza the food is first class there and the sunski bar opposite the hotel is very friendly and the ideal place if you want a quiet drink .
The skiing on the other hand is excellent and i would advise you to take the new 4 man chair lift and ski down the blue run that starts at the top and winds its way down through a forest it is unbelievable .
have a good time .
