hotel guinness bansko

Hi all,
Had a fab holiday last year mid Jan in Bansko. Great slopes and plenty of snow. little concerned as Balkan hols changed our hotel last year, and this year have already changed flights!! Does any one know if there are any probs with Hotel Guinness as we are really looking forward to our hols and don't like nasty surprises??

Hotel Guiness opened about 3-4 years ago. Very impressive on entry . Fairly plaush, very clean. Bar in it very expensive by bulgarian standards. Food is average ( i wouldnt be a picky eater). Got one of the worst meals ever presented to me in the restaurant downstairs. Close to gondola. Has a nice wee pool and steam room.

Overall, well situated for gondola, large modern and clean. More expensive than most bars/hotels in bansko and food can be very tasty or average to poor. ( obviously this may have changed).

Stayed in the Guinness last season. Very impressed with the accommodation and staff, really friendly and helpful. Nice pool and good facilities. Half hourly bus to the gondola or ten minute walk. Enjoyed it, very much, so we booked again for next year. Bar was a waste of time, expensive and only had heineken, but can't have everything!
