I am also arriving at Rila next sat.... I am worried now you are the first person to mention a cold pool!re: rila hotel f
We have stayed last year and year before. Food was fine, but cheap enough to eat out if you want to experience the local cuisine - see other recent posts about places to eat etc. Pool is on the cold side, but there is a hot tub right next to it. A word of warning, the tiles around the pool are REALLY slippery so take care. Overall the Rila is great and the location is perfect. Enjoy.

I agree with the above. The Bulgarians tend to have their food only warm. Choose carefully and you will be OK. Nobody from our party has dropped dead in the past 3 years from the food. My kids love it as they can just keep going back for more. The small cakes are fantastic. They do a good tea in the afternoon in the posh down stairs restaurant next to the lifts and its included if you are HB. Rila is a great place to stay as it is right on the nursery slopes.
Samkov is better if you ...

Having stayed in both i would say that the food in the rila is much better than the samakov However, we go and take a look at whats on offer in the rila at night time and often as not end up eating out. Its ok they do have a wide choice we are just a bit fussy sometimes and want to eat out. Katys steak house is fab. The pool is a bit chilly but ok once your in and as said there is a 2 hot tubs so you can jump in and warm up. See you all on the 2nd
