In principle, the hotel is not bad, it’s quite good for its 4 *. A lot of greenery, the design is so-so. There is a small aquarium in the lobby, parrots, there is even a hamster. Very pleasant and soft sofas.
So, for those who go there, a little information.
1. Located near the ski lift. Walk for 10-15 minutes maximum. There is also a free bus from the hotel every half an hour. Although we were taken regardless of the time, there were few people and there were only 2 of us.
2. There are 2 swimming pools in the hotel. Also at the hotel there is a jacuzzi, 2 steam baths, and 2 saunas. Only we had to turn them on ourselves, because. we had already gone out of season and no one was following this. But it didn’t bother us.
3. The rooms are normal for 2 people. We had room 316, on the 3rd floor. The beds are large, two armchairs, bedside tables, a safe in the room is free. The room also had a TV, mini-bar, kettle, CD player, bath, towels , bathrobes, which were changed daily. The balcony was also small.
By the way, the windows of this hotel either look out onto the street, along which cars constantly drive and opposite the Lyon Hotel or into the courtyard, but there is a small wasteland, hotels and a construction site with tower cranes are also visible. Our room with windows to the street, first ride cars were very annoying, and then they got used to it. In general, the view from the window is not very good.
There was also a hair dryer, but it was almost broken. It seems that hair dryers in all places in this hotel are not of very good quality. So we used our own.
4. Food - buffet, in our opinion, is quite good and tasty. Especially for dinner. Breakfast, of course, is quite monotonous, but everything you need was given there. who prepares all this at your request), pancakes (also prepared by the chef, very tasty), sausages, sausages, ham, bacon, fried bread, tea. coffee, juices. Dinner, of course, is more thorough and varied, but without drinks. We all liked the food.
5. Service is good. All questions can be solved at the reception in Russian or in English.
6. The hotel has a rental school for all ski equipment.
7. A real fireplace is heated every evening in the lobby bar. It is very nice to sit by the fireplace in the evening.
In general, there is no central heating in Bansko and, in my opinion, all hotels are heated by stoves. So the smell of smoke hovers over the whole town in the evening. We liked it.
We were lucky both with the dates and with the weather. There were few people both in the hotel and on the slopes. And it was already very warm. There were no special problems anywhere.
In general, read, choose. Feel free to ask everything that interests you from the travel agency. This is their job.
Have a good holiday everyone!

About hotel Pirun 4*. What is wrong:
1 restaurant opened at 8.20 am (10-20 min late)
2 All food (morning and evening) was cold, no matter when you come.
3 Dishes were missing.
4 No variety of food was observed all week.
5 coffee machines did not work well. We had to wait in line for a long time or even leave without drinking. (instead of juices there was an invite, instead of butter - margarine)
6 In the room, through the ventilation there was smoke from the neighboring room.
7 Communication via the Internet is practically impossible, but it is sold. Money is returned only upon urgent requirements and only for unused time, not counting the time of all attempts, including attempts by the administration. (10-20 min. )
8 The dry ration given for the journey was a mockery! (a bottle of water, a broken apple. two huge pieces of bread and a small piece of sausage and cheese each)
Good:
1 There are three swimming pools.
2 There is a sauna and a Turkish bath.
3 Rooms are normal. They have a kettle, bathrobes and disposable slippers.
4 a decently organized New Year's Eve dinner with a distribution of places and not a big entertainment program. (in other hotels people queued up to get to a paid dinner)
So, what do you conclude: is it worth the trip?

About tracks. What is wrong:
1 To get on the lift, you need to go through the battle! (everyone climbs out of line)
2 The slopes are poorly prepared.
3 There is no order on the slopes! People drive as they want. (for example, where people climb on the yokes)
4 There are no maps anywhere with all the tracks. (neither paid nor not paid)
5 There are no signs on the tracks themselves where each one goes (all the time they went to the wrong place).
6 The cafe on the slopes has a very poor assortment of dishes, there are no sweets and desserts at all.
7 Coffee is not tasty everywhere (the cheapest is Neskafe). In grains, in general, they were not found anywhere.
8 One of your photographs will be sold to you for 5 euros.
9 In Bansko itself, there is one solid construction site. (For the year built 100 hotels) gels. )
Good:
1 Many ski schools.
2 The price for a coach for three days is very cheap compared to Peter.
3 Lots of rentals of all ski equipment.
4 There is a kindergarten for small children.

As for skiing itself, we were not very lucky with the weather, every day there was heavy snow and the sun pleased us for only two days, but in general the mountains are fantastic (after park skiing in Sorochany, the sensations were simply extraordinary !!! ) In conclusion, I would like to say to my beloved husband, all the most tender words! Vitalka - you are the best! Thank you for a wonderful vacation! And to everyone else, good luck and good impressions!
