Stayed there last year and going again in January 06. Lovely hotel, food good, something for everyone. At night you felt like you had been out for a meal. Rooms ok and hotel well positioned. Obviously good as we are returning.
Don't pick a female instructor with red hair, she is terrible especially for novices.
Were staying at Samokov in Feb - once you collect ski's from Crystal depot behind gondola station on 1st day can you store ski's etc in Samokov or do you return to depot every night?
