Болгария февраль 2014 Bulgaria February 2014

We were at the Olymp Hotel in Bansko from 03.02 – 10.02. 2014. We went through the Biblio-Globus. I must say right away that the impressions of the hotel left the most positive. It justifies its stars and price by 100 percent. Perhaps even more than that) And now in order. The hotel is located on the outskirts of the city, at the very entrance to the city (if you drive from Sofia). When transferring from the airport, they are dropped off first, taken to the airport last (there is a certain plus in this! ))). 15 minutes walk to the center. In our understanding, this is also a plus). Where we live is calm, but where the stormy resort life is in full swing, it’s nice to take a walk). To the funicular ("lift cabins") carries a hotel minibus on schedule. Although, if desired or necessary, it is really possible to walk, about 30 minutes. The room is spacious, cleaned and changed linen constantly. The room is warm (heating is turned on only at night, but this is enough). Hot water without interruption. Vodichka left not very briskly though). They simply didn't pay attention to it. We didn’t have a balcony, but it somehow didn’t bother us in winter))) There is a special room for inventory. The door is always closed. Reception key. So those who have top inventory have nothing to be afraid of))). Here is a small fly in the ointment. There is only one small radiator hanging in this room for drying ski boots. Inconvenient and small! It is necessary to equip a normal shoe dryer! The hotel staff is helpful and friendly. Smiling. . . ). Attitude is very good! The hotel has a SPA - sauna (if you throw water on the stones, it turns into a Russian bath with a flick of the wrist), a Turkish hammam (steam bath), a jacuzzi, a fitness room with exercise equipment and a gym. SPA is what you need after sports exploits on the slope))). All this happiness is free for hotel guests. WI-FI only works downstairs at the reception. There is also a small playground for the little ones. Parking at the hotel is free. For us it was important. We rented a car for a couple of days. Briefly about food. Our tour included breakfast only. Breakfasts in European hotels, as a rule, do not differ in great variety. In this case (from personal experience) they were good. Modest and tasteful). Near the hotel there is a large supermarket "4 seasons" (constantly bought there) and three pieces of mechanics (or maybe more, you won't see everything)). We only had time to eat in one of them. You can also dine in the hotel restaurant (ate). Tasty and inexpensive. Of course, it should be noted that everything about what was written above is very subjective. One just needs a toilet, and the other is bad even with a gold one. We traveled together, a male company. Understandably, very unpretentious). But precisely because the hotel is really good and I liked it, I decided to write). I thoroughly recommend the hotel! Well, in the end, I would like to briefly talk about why we are going to Bansko in winter). If you cover up), let's just say, eyes on those shortcomings that you can read about in many reviews on the Internet, such as long queues for "lift cabins" and a large number of people on the slopes, then everything is very good. The trails are different and for every taste. In decent condition. The ski area is not as big as, for example, in Andorra, but there is where to ride. We may have been lucky with the weather. There was snow! ) And there was sun! ) Have a nice rest!! !
