Hotel Pirin, Bansko, Bulgaria

I recently stayed at the Hotel Pirin, it was so quiet that the normal buffet breakfast and evening meals were cancelled and you had no choice to eat what they gave you or go out for food. The town centre nearby is the old town centre, where the locals are, but all of the shops, bars and restaurants are a long way away. The hotel bus to the lifts only ran 3 times in the morning and 3 in the evening, normally ski buses run all day, so this restricts your movement around resort. The staff seemed so bored due to lack of guests they spent all the time playing cards and seemed slightly irritated when you wanted something. The food was rarely served hot. If you are planning a trip to Bansko, you would be best to look for hotels close to the ski lifts as that is the real town centre where things are actually available to you.

Apres Ski: 1/5

The Pirin is in a very quiet area which is nice. It’s very comfortable with great spa facilities and its own ski bus which runs you to and from the slopes. The beds were huge! It is walking distance to the town centre if you want to check out the local scene, I had a great time here and would go back. Oh yes and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful.
