Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Great hotel, my favourite! Best location of any hotel in Bansko, right on the edge of the old town, next to the skating rink, and only a 5 minute walk to the gondola.
Big swimming pool, watch out for the slippery surface around the edge. Couple of sauna's and steam rooms, great at the end of a tiring day. 10 pin bowling alley, cash point, pool table and table tennis. Typical Bulgaria, everything's a bit faded and dour. Food's ok, also typical Bulgaria, nothing's hot, they prefer luke warm, and lots of stew! Comfortable but basic rooms, always too hot, but you can open the window. Enjoy!

Pretty good hotel. I remember sitting in the reception area lounge with my wife enjoying a couple beers after a hard day on the slopes when I noticed this seriously gorgeous looking woman staring at me and smiling at me for no apparent reason. Now, as with most red blooded men, I just put it down to my seriously good looks and thought nothing of it. Besides, I was with my wife!!

Anyway, we were nearly finished our drinks and were getting ready to head off out for dinner in the old town when all of a sudden this beauty walked over to us and asked if we would like some company for the night to which we said thanks but no thanks in our typically British manner. Our admirer then proceeded to say that she is very accomodating and doesn't mind a mixed threesome!!

Oh, how we laughed and ran!

I'm heading out to Bnsko on Sunday and staying at the Strazhite for the third year. We really like the hotel for it's position in town. We've considered other but always seem to come back to the Strazhite.
There is also free wifi in the lobby if you want to stay connected.
I have found that duringthe week breakfast start to get busier later and later as people become increasingly tired. So if you want the warmest food and the most choice turn up early.
The boot room is also fair size and make a great side exit to the hotel.
Watch out for the tree stump on the way up to the Gondola, its been there ever since I've been going to BG and I expect it will still be there when I'm feeding the worms!!!
