re: bansko

Was in Hotel Pirin last January.

Nice bar area, pool, sauna and steam room. Good massage for £5.

Food is OK - buffet style both at breakfast and dinner. Good enough to fuel the system/soak up the beer and rum.

Good boot/ski room. Reliable minibus transfer to gondola - nice little bar at the bottom of the gondola in case the bus isn't there anyway!

Going back again 15 Jan.

re: bansko

I' ve been in Bansko last February and I believe it's the perfect place for
experienced sciers. We stayed at Stratzite, a 3 star A class hotel, very close
to the lift. The town is small but there are many "mehanas" (restaurants) and
lot of cosy pub's.
Been there for two years in the row, hopefully return next February.

have fun, Bill

Hi Muttley,

The hotel perun (not to be confused with the hotel pirin) is a brand new 4 *hotel facing the mountains about 5 minutes walk to the gondula station (but I expect the hotel will run a shuttle service) all reports at the moment is that it is excellent

The hotel pirin is in the centre of town

Not sure which one you're staying at, have a great holiday

THANKS in advance !
Marija

re: bansko

hello again marija

Until the end of winter season 2002-2003 each one of the hotels was using small
buses for transportation to the ski center (after a trip of more than 30' on a hard and curly icy road).
Since the new cable car has started in December 2003 ,every one's choosing the faster "gondola'.
The ski pass is validate for all the lifts (including the main cable car) and it's strictly personal cause they puting your photo on it with a digital camera. I've found it though a bit ...
