Hotel Perelik, Pamporovo, Bulgaria

Very nice hotel, the food was very good, but beware of the porters, they pounce on you as soon as you get off the bus, demand to take your luggage off you, even though you try to take it to the rooms yourself, then demand money, we gave some Lev to one porter, he slammed it down on the desk & asked for more, we gave him a bit extra, he was still not to happy, so once again be aware of them.

I stayed at Hotel Perelik a few years ago and found it to be a well equipped hotel with shops, bars, club, etc and only a short bus ride from the slopes. It is however a bit outdated and tatty. The food was on the whole pretty good if a little samey. The Apres Ski in Pamporovo is reasonable and there is always something going on (especially in the White Hart). There is also a Pizza restaurant that brings out the Karaoke system at the end of the night which was intriguing and run by a very nice chap who kept wanting to showing me his guitar. The slopes are pretty good but there isn't too much challenging off piste.
