Bulgaria Ski discussion board

I stayed here Jan '07 and i'm returning in Jan'08. Great little hotel being in the centre of everything, yet also far enough away, if you know what I mean. Its literally directly behind the Rila Hotel which is situated at the bottom of the Yastrabets run ie-nursey slopes.
Decent food, particularly breakfast, which is a must ahead of a strenuous day on the slopes. Evening meal is ok, and even though we ate out a lot last year, it was mainly because we wanted to experience the local cuisine - particularly as it was so cheap.
Excellent facilities within the hotel, ie - swimming pool, sauna, steam room, massages. Cosy little bar, with friendly staff.
I was pleasantly surprised, and im very much looking forward to going back there in January.

I agree totally with bundy,we have stayed in the rila twice and iglika once last year,food is basic but good basic if you get what i mean.More cozy than rila as it is smaller and has a better feel.Sauna area is top although you have to pay extra on a daily or is it hourly basis i cant remember.Make sure you take some sort of sandles or flip flops as they wont let you in the pool or sauna area without them but you can buy them in the hotel.There is a good games room in the basement to keep the kids entertained as ski-ing doesn't seem to wear the kids outlike us old timers.We have booked again for half term can't wait see you there smarties!!!!!
