Top 5-Star Hotels in Bansko

We stayed for a week and had a very nice stay in this beautiful hotel. We took a two and a half hour taxi from Sofia airport, but it was worth it, & the motorway is a dream!! We had a beautiful view from our spacious mountain view room. Very large balcony, lots of storage, very comfortable bed, & well stocked fridge, although we'd have appreciated coke zero and Bulgarian sparkling water (delicious).The bathroom was also very large, immaculate, & well stocked with complimentary toiletries. Really appreciated the turn down each evening & my birthday cards must have been noticed by the hardworking housekeepers, as I was surprised when we returned & found a beautiful & delicious birthday cake in the room. Thank you so much for your kindness ❤️ It made my day! Our only issue with the room was the air conditioning which was set at 21 degrees!! That's heating, not AC. Not used to heat in England, we need to cool off quickly after a hot day. A fan in the room would have helped too. Another review erroneously described this hotel as dated. NO ! It's a traditional, Immaculate,charming hotel. The staff were lovely, polite & helpful. English wasn't widely spoken, but we were understood. Thank you for your patience . Breakfast was very good, although ordering coffee was a bit haphazard & disorganised at times. We ate twice in the only restaurant open during summer,Prima, the food was delicious and good value. The verandah was a beautiful area, we were disappointed that it closed at 7pm and sofas covered, as we'd have loved to have spent the evenings up there. Also, the drinks were never chilled enough unfortunately. The Spa, WOW!!! Stunning, absolutely loved it. Two small but perfect outside pools & a beautiful indoor one. Saunas, steam rooms, warm stone beds, perfect Best spa I've been to outside of the UK. A lovely, lovely place to spend a day - or week. Each day we were treated to cold oil infused flannels or canapes, a very nice & appreciated touch .Really enjoyed the Jacuzzis too. Theres a small children's pool & play area. The children were delightful & well behaved, so it was still a relaxing place to be after a day hiking up or down the beautiful mountain, or through the many trails in the woods. The position of this hotel is perfect for the gondola, walks & the town. It's not OUT of town as someone described, it's just up from town. It's a lovely short walk down to the beautiful quaint town, with many good traditional restaurants, bars & nice shops. Many locally made goods to buy, and delicious honey & jams. We enjoyed good food at Lovna Shresta tavern (lovely garden) & Mehana Bai Kotse tavern. Explore the beautiful back streets early morning & evening, then people watch in the town square. We booked quad bikes opposite the hotel. Wow , what a great, fun hour & a half we spent exploring the beautiful countryside around Bankso. Highly recommend. The little touches at this hotel really made it stand out for us We will be back, & w

We went to the spa and it was fabulous. We had some issues with our original booking and our airport transfer and the staff were so accommodating and made some calls to get our bookings changed to an earlier time. The actual spa itself was lovely and serene. I received a back, shoulder and neck massage from Florida which was absolutely divine. She managed to locate every area of tension on my back and ironed it out. I wish I could go back to get massages from her on a regular basis! A bit pricier than other spas in the area but well worth every penny.

A stay at Regnum Bansko is definitely worth. Quitely located in the upper area of the town, a short walk from the gondola station, this hotel offers everything that one needs for a nice holiday: indoor and outdoor swimming pools, water slides, sporting fields, whirlpool, massage rooms. The hotel has a dependency in the nearby Banya village where several pools with thermal water at temperatures between 28 and 39 °C can be used free of charge by the hotel guests. The suites are spacious enough and can accommodate families with up to four children. The hotel restaurant offers a variety of dishes of the national and international cuisine, a huge salad bar, desserts, fruit and vegetables. The opening hours are long enough for all visitors and there is enough of everything everytime so one doesn't need to hurry to get his favourite dish. The staff is very kind and client oriented. All requests are satisfied within a few minutes, no matter at what time of the day or night. I can only conclude with my children's now and then asking ”When are we going again to this great five-star hotel in Bansko?”

So, let's start with the positive aspects: - We arrived at 14:00 there and the rooms were ready. We got the room very quickly and everything was clean, cosy and warm. - We had one Studio and we expected something small for two people. But the room was huge, bigger than most of the rooms you will find in Bansko for the same price (we paid 480 Euros for 7 nights (2 people) with half board. The view of the room was wonderful as well, as we had the windows to the mountains, in the morning it was an unique view. The studio has everything you need for two people: fridge, sink, glasses, plates, cups, etc. - We came with our personal car and the parking is huge so there is no need to worry about the parking. There is also one underground parking (limited) where you can park your car if you want to avoid the snow or for any other reason. - Near the parking there is a HUGE ski room in order to deposit your skies and boots. - The breakfast is really really good. If you go in the morning at 7:30 when it opens, everything is hot, the food is fresh, and a lot more possibilities than you would normally eat for breakfast. The coffee is made from beans, orange/apple/cherry juice (not fresh, but really decent). - The spa is very large, clean as the hole hotel is. The pool, jacuzzi, sauna and steambath have the right temperature, maybe the jacuzzi should be a little hotter, but it depends on the person. You get new towels every time you go to the spa. Bathrobes and slippers are provided in each room which is a big advantage. - The shuttle bus to the gondola and back is very on time, we did not have any problem when we used it. We did not use it every day as it was pretty crowded and we went skiing with the car sometimes. - The internet is working pretty well as long as you are not trying to download movies or something similar. - The room towels where changed every day and the blankets each 3 days even after the second change we would have got only one more night to stay. Now, let's talk about some negative aspects that should not be in a 4 star hotel: - First of all, the heaters from the ski room for your boots are not working......why would you make a 100 slot heater if it is not working? You have to take your boots in the room in order to warm them. - The underground parking is sometimes like a deposit. Everything is smelling like they are building the hotel right now, but I guess that is not a problem, you just stay like MAXIMUM 10 minutes in the garage. - The dinner is pretty much not what it should be. If you have medium preferences, you will always have what to eat. In the 7 days that we stayed there, we had each day something new, which is great, but the food is COLD, really really COLD and is awful to eat cold food after a day of skiing. Also, there is NO drinks included.....as it is in the hole Bansko...with the exception of few hotels. - Some COVID regulations are not respected as they should be. Even if the employees are wearing masks,

To start the hotel is good for the money and located within 5 minute walk of the gondola. The main street is v close so easy access to everything and the old town isn't too far (10min walk). Bansko has loads of places to eat drink and be merry. Plus plethora of supermarkets etc. The restaurant is nice with plenty of space and everything is modern and clean. The staff are a bit hit and miss. Some are friendly and helpful some less so which does make some interactions uncomfortable. If you book direct with the hotel and/or use thier ski equipment and thier ski passes it seems you get a better service than if you go through 3rd party operators. We stayed as a family with 2 young children and our first night the room was awful. Thankfully the manager resolved our issues and moved us to another room the next morning which we couldn't fault. The hotel web site stats fully equipped kitchen but that's not our experience. There is a kettles with cups and a hob/oven depending on your room. However with no cutlery, crockery, pots pans trays or anything at all to prepare or eat food on the kitchen is a bit of an ornament! Meals are buffet style and tasty however for little kids it's a bit fussy so we did struggle with all meals and as a result ate out more than we had wanted. Although room service food (which is extra £) was great. Burgers, chips, spaghetti etc. Drinks not included and as expected is v expensive. They don't like serving tap water as it's free but you do get 2-4 small bottles of water provided daily in the room. The pool and spa could do with a clean and the pool water by the end of the week the chlorine was so high you could feel it when you walked into the pool area. This could be easily rectified by more frequent changes of the water or water chemical maintenance. It was half term so use was heavy.

We stayed at the Tanne Hotel during our 9 day ski vacation. All in all we took up 5 rooms, which were neat and welcoming, with a feeling of cleanliness overall. I was there with my wife and 4 year old and it was great for us. The ski lift was within walking distance (which didn't matter much since it couldn't get you anywhere, due to the number of people, but that's another story for another time) and there was ample parking for all guests. The real highlights of the place were the Spa area, which included a pool, a jacuzzi, several saunas, massage, showers and lounge chairs, and the restaurant. In fact, the restaurant deserves its own paragraph. Large and welcoming, the staff was professional and always ready to pick up on us needing them. While English wasn't a string point of the waiters, they spoke more than enough to never get our orders wrong and they were super friendly and welcoming. And the food - oh my god the food. If you're not from the Balkans, you owe it to yourself to try the soups here, as well as the lamb and the sausage, but really, everything on the menu was brilliant. I give this place a solid 10. Thanks, Tanne, for the great base of operations for our vacation.
