re: hotels

I would say its quite a walk to the lifts 10 to 15 mins but the hotel will provide some sort of transport to resort

re: hotels

Taxi is best... the shuttle bus has been unreliable from Hotel Victoria as I found out 2 years ago, it could have improved... friends stayed there and had to catch taxi 4 out of the 6 days...
Taxi is cheap so don't worry...
I am presuming its Borovets!!!!

Hi Russell,

The victoria is actually a 20minute walk to the resort uphill and 15minutes walk back downhill. They run a shuttle bus throughout the day starting first thing in the morning. If you want a late night, the shuttle won't be running but the walk back after a couple of drinks is fine!! Alternatively a taxi is 10 to 15lev if you don't fancy the walk.

Send us an email if you need any more info on the hotel.

re: hotels

I stayed there 2 years ago hotel itself was nice friendly place decent enough food. Not really a problem walking to and from lifts takes 15 mins in a straight line and 20 walking on the road ~(not in ski boots etc). However I did get slightly annoyed at it when i walked down in the early hours and then decided to walk back coz I hadnt quite finished......

Since then have stayed in resort usually paying an extra £30 a week which in my opinion if you stay out late is well worth it. ...
