    Satisfying, but not great.
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • One-Bedroom Apartment
    • Stayed 3 nights

    The floor was freezingly cold and we couldn't let our baby crawl. Many of the staff were speaking only Russian - neither native Bulgarian, nor English, which added up to that most of the rest who spoke Bulgarian, were not very friendly and rarely cooperative, drove us mad.

    The location, the cleanliness of the apartment and especially the quality of the restaurant were more than satisfying.

    In our apartment the water heater was kinda old so the hot water looked brown colored/rusty. Also walls are very thin and we had loud neighbors

    Very clean, perfect location 5 min walk from the slopes, free parking. Breakfast was nice and the restaurant overall serves delicious food.

    The hotel consists of a few buildings together and there are quite a few stairs which is a little unconvenient with lots of luggage and ski equpment... besides that - great stay :)

    Great location, right next to the ski slopes! Very friendly and professional staff at the restaurant for breakfast and dinner! Large room with kitchen, living room, 2 tvs and wi-fi - nice :)

    Just one advice for future guests - there was misunderstanding with ski rental that is part of hotel. They told me one price when I took equipment, but other one when I wanted to pay for it at the end of our stay. Everything was solved quickly to my satisfaction, but my advice is that you either pay when you take skis or to ask for written quotation to avoid above confusion.

    I can heartily recommend this hotel. Location is excellent for skiing, staff was very friendly, they all spoke English. Our apartment was very spacious, beds (even sofa in living room) were very comfortable, there is guarded parking for hotel guests, great value for money. Also Excalibur restaurant was perfect place for dinner. Breakfast was basic but ok. If you are in Pamporovo for skiing, I can hardly imagine better place in this price range.

    The quality of the facility leaves a lot to be desired. Minor broken things that are cheap to fix, but very annoying.

    Catastrophic wifi in the roof room we got. In an almost empty hotel, we got a roof room... Just to hit the slanted ceiling with a head a few times... :(

    Solid breakfast and dinner, hospitable staff, good location for skiers. For walking is a bit distant from places to go, but it was OK. Warm, nice kitchenette, ...

    The apartment was rather simple and the painting on the walls was a little peculiar. I'm not sure about the other apartments because I visited somebody in another apartment and the painting was ok.

    The apartment was sufficiently large to accommodate all of us ( 2 adults and 2 children). I liked that there were enough heating devices in the room to overcome the -15 degrees Celsius outside. The proximity to Studenets was also nice ( a short climb of 5-10 minutes). The complex has a large free parking. The breakfast was good with enough choice for everyone. The dinner was tasty too.

    Our apartment was bigger than expected and we enjoyed much the stay but In the room of our son, a sofa was broken. The Tv program available was just one for the first night, but after requesting tuning the TV set the last day we could see all the programs in the package. The half board was a good option in a place where there are no restaurants.

    The price was quite expensive for the quality of the apartment. Many of the lamps didn't work at all, the fridge didn't work either... there was one small desk on the bedroom completely unusable because there wasn't a single chair.

    The area was beautiful and the hotel complex too. Many restaurants around with great food. Plus it's very close to the main ski area of Pamporovo. There was a sleigh on one of the wardrobes which we used with the kids.

    The bed, it's like two mismatched beds stuck together as a double. If you are plus sized there is no room between the bed and the wardrobe or the bed and the wall to access the bed, so you'd have to get in from the bottom. The shower was wild, enough hot water for one, it's not a big deal once you know. The fireplace seems to be just for show but the apartment was very warm anyway. No elevator to the room, again not a big deal but would not be suitable for anyone traveling with small kids or pets that need help on the stairs. My card was charged without agreement, that was annoying, I had planned to pay on another card so would have been nice to be asked. It's 20 lev per night per dog, which is absolutely no issue at all but again it would have been nice to have been informed, granted it wouldn't have made a difference but still.

    Location for skiing is perfect, and it's just a 5 minute drive to the town. The apartment was immaculately clean. It was also lovely and warm.

    A lot of snow and ice on walkways in front of the hotel. Loud music in front side of the restaurant at late hours, but it was managed on our request.

    Excellent place for family vacation. Location is perfect, comfort in rooms great, perfect heated rooms - recommending.
