We have stayed for 9 nights in this hotel, which was our 3rd time in this accommodation. Since 2018 nothing has been refurbished. The 3rd bed was a sofa bed which folded in half every time it was used. The springs were sharp and pressing on your back. The hotel is extremely noisy and you can hear clear conversation in the next room. The room was not cleaned once, dirty, sheets were torn. Breakfast had hardly any healthy options and coffee was undrinkable. On the plus side, there was lovely spa, which we have enjoyed a lot. This accommodation is very poor value for money and I would not stay here again, and would not recommend this to any of my friends.

Great location and clean rooms. Don't waste your money on the breakfast, it's awful.
Rooms are very dated and in desperate need of a refurbishment

Second year staying at Samokov Hotel and we would highly recommend! Considering the budget price it offers amazing facilites, bowling, shooting range, huge selection of food (half board), arcade games, pools tables, excellent spa facilities and large warm pool! Cannot ask for more, particularly with it being right on the slopes and next to a wealth of external facilities in the village.

We know what we get at this hotel, it's not amazing but it does what it says on the tin. Facilities are fantastic so much for kids to do in the hotel itself. Rooms really could do with some attention, one room had an ants nest in the bathroom and the sofa bed was broken, my rooms chair had a nail sticking up. Only sat on that once!

The hotel was ok but there were a few issues. The sofa bed was extremely uncomfortable, thin mattress, you could feel the metal. The water in our room kept running brown and cloudy, made it impossible to shower, we had to use the pool showers. The lift wouldnt stop at floor 6, you had to press up to get in the lift to go up then down. One lift wouldnt stop at floor 6 on the way up. Otherwise it was ok, food could be better (the morning coffee was terrible) but probably value for money.

The hotel is looking very tired and could do with a little modernisation. It is in a great location, only 2 min walk from the gondola entrance, bars and restaurants.
As a non skiier I cant coment on the ski facilities,but the part of my group that did said the facilities and intruction was Brilliant.
The agent also sorted out a refund for a guest that could not come, very quickly with no hassle.

You cant beat the location and the price for that since its right opposite the gondola. The food is ok but for 7 euros per night more than you would expect. Hotel rooms are clean and balcony with a view. Beds are comfy but the furniature / carpets are needing upgrades. Friendly staff and a gigantic swimming pool. Would stay again.

The hotel is very much in need of refurbishing. The rooms are very basic although clean and warm. There is only 1 plug socket in the bedroom and the beds especially the sofabed was very uncomfortable. The bath was not sealed in either bathroom so when a shower was taken the water pured out and over the sides of the bath it was ridiculous and the bathroom flooded each time.
Breakfast was average. Facilities were good, ten pin bowling, pool etc. We wouldnt return.

The lobby was lovely, the location was brilliant. Right across from the gondola. However thats where the positives end. The rooms were awful. The shower was powerful although not sealed so water everywhere. Our toilet room 325 rocked when you used it as it wasnt fixed down. The beds like boards. The friends fridge didnt work. The room had a real dirty feel to it. Grubby and unloved. The chair in the corner had an upturned screw so I ripped my trousers. Poor quality towels, no bath mat and very cheap toilet paper. Have been coming to the resort for years and always stayed in Flora but had always thought this hotel looked fab so decided to give it a try. Massive mistake. With the Flora you get what it says on the tin, where as this place pretends to be wonderful but massively fall short. I was with friends so had 3 rooms. They were all as horrid.

Samakov Hotel is close to Gondola station with ski hire & Ski school in basement if required. The rooms are basic but you only sleep there so thats fine. Food is basic but you wont starve. You can always find something to eat. Down side is every plate & cup in the restaurant is chipped.

We had a great stay at Samokov Hotel Borovets. The hotel is very spacious and there are a lot of activities for the family: bowling, pool, shooting range for air guns and a games room. There are pancakes in the lobby every day at 5pm which was a highlight for the kids. A lot of lounge areas for the evening with a decent bar. There is even a bar next to the swimming pool and the bar staff there were awesome and very friendly. Breakfast and dinner are good and abundant though a bit more variety would help. The swimming pool is huge and warm but the changing areas could do with renovation. The rooms are spacious and clean but in need of renovation. Bathrooms in particular could do with an overhaul. Staff are friendly and professional.
Overall decent place just needs renovation. Otherwise no frills and excellent value. Would visit again.

Samakov Hotel is a pleasant but a tired hotel. Desperately in need of an update. It is still exactly the same as it was in 1989.I have stayed there on four occasions. The staff are pleasant. However i do not appreciate being overcharged for the use of the whirlpool bath. We were a booking of 4 persons but we were charged for 6 persons in the whirlpool bath.This was all on the same day. Rm 519 & Rm 521.
Its not the amount its the principle of the matter!
I would appreciate if management look into this.

We have stayed at the Samokov twice and found the rooms to be spacious, clean, and comfortable. The breakfast choice is huge, even if youre not keen on their version of an English breakfast there is a lovely selection of breads and pastries and the jams are wonderful! Ok, it is dated but youre abroad? There are too many negative comments focusing on the slow toaster, baths not being attached to the walls etc etc. Youre on holiday and staying in a budget hotel, we think its great value for money

Hotel is very central. Has a Lot to offer if you search about the hotel as not every bar or facility is central or easy to locate. Great hotel to keep the kids entertained with games room, table tennis, shooting and ten pin bowling as well as swimming pool. Food in standard restaurant is basic but most hotel foods are the same. Close to plenty of bars and restaurants. Close to go gondola. Ski hire and lessons available in the basement. Great value for money.

The samakov hotel is in a perfect location for skiing. The hotel facilities are great including ski storage, spa, bar, pool, bowling, shops etc. George our ski instructor was really amazing, he is really patient and great fun. It was often difficult to get served at the bar for drinks in the lobby. It was often difficult to know if housekeeping hadhad been in the room as items were not replaced/beds not made. Overall this is a great hotel, good selection in buffet and location cannot be beaten.

We had two rooms for a week around New Years Eve 2019 in the Samokv Hotel and we were very disappointed. It is not expensive, this is a fact, but on the other hand it is rated with 4 stars, and that is something you should be able to rely on. The hotel has not been modernized for more than 20 years. The rooms are like hostel rooms, the food is not good, but they tried. Unfortunately it was often cold and they did not fill up missing things. The worst thing in our opinion was the staff of the reception. I have never met anybody as unfriendly and incompetent. We tried to change the hotel, but it was not possible, so we got stuck there. We may come back to Borovets, but never ever to this hotel.

The hotel was value for money . It was clean and warm. The spa was excellent and all the services provided as well ( ski school, spa, shopping center). The food was good and the staff at the restaurant adequate as number but some didnt speak any English. The only suggestion would be to renovate some of the public areas. Overall we had an excellent stay and really enjoyed it. Would definitely recommend it

Excellent value for money.
The hotel is a little dated but if you look beyond that, this is a fantastic hotel.
We were half board and enjoyed a standard breakfast with plenty of variety. We only ate once in the hotel (ground floor) and considering the price we paid, it was satisfactory. I should be mentioned, that it has improved since 2017, without increasing the price. Well done.
The rooms are nothing special but clean and spacious. The showers are powerful but lacking some silicone around the side leaving the bathroom floor a little wet. However, by using the swimming pool/spa facilities, you can avoid soaking your own bathroom.
Several facilities worth mentioning, bowling, shooting, spa, swimming pool and the roof top bar were all of a good standard.

Now they are 14, 16 and 19 years. Every time we have enjoyed ourselves only really leaving the hotel to Ski daily and a little shopping. Good central hotel that provided all we need.

IŽve going regualary to Samokov hotel as a child for a very long time. Allthough a I interrupted my regular visits in 2001. Until last week. It felt like time has frozen in the given building and IŽm still not sure whether that is for better or worse.
The installations are still good as well as the food, but I have to say that the hotel has very little margin left untill it starts getting old. Hope you renovate soon.

I found the hotel to be comfortable enough. Would have liked to have a kettle in the room and for the staff to be more helpful and speak better English. Also the beds were not comfortable at all especially the sofa bed. Some of the light fittings in the room were broken, not enough lighting in the room and remote didn't work. Also TV was very old. Food in the restaurant was very good although would have liked it to be more varied. Activities offered in the hotel for kids was very good and the table tennis and billiards seemed to be very well kept.

Samokov Hotel
I have been skiing for 32yrs and first visited borovets in 1986. met people on the first trip who are still there today. Thanks to Kroum Filchev, constantine. lubo and slavjaw I will ski Boroovets as long as I can. I have always found the locals friendly and very helpful.
I now stay at the Samokov hotel and find the reception and bar staff very friendly, the food is acceptable (not brilliant). the ski store is very helpfull thanks to the likes of Constantine and nickolia (sorry about the spelling)

I have just returned from Borovets and sadly am very disappointed. The snow was not great but the resort management did not seem willing or able to piste the slopes at all to make the most of the conditions. This was very frustrating as we had to ski over rock strewn pathways and icy pistes.
The hired skis and boots themselves were old an unserviced rubbish. We had to complain to get the skis at least sharpened. However, this was probably due to the Samokov Hotel, where we stayed.
TERRIBLE HOTEL, well past its sell by date. Rude and bored staff. Do not stay here!
Another major gripe was the poor service and poor quality of the food. The food, generally, is surprisingly awful. It was cheap, but not cheap enough. Ł4/5 for an inedible burger is not great.
In Summary, its a cheap and not that cheerful resort. Blackpool with snow. I really wanted to love it and prove the Alpine snobs wrong. However, it is not a patch on the traditional Alpine resorts.
Good value does not just mean cheap.

As a non-smoker my partner and i were very surprised that it was a smoking hotel as soon as you enter the lobby the smoke hits you, we are not against any one smoking but we did feel that the hotel smelt smokey we could smell it on ourselves and our room smelt smokey. Overall the hotel,lobby and bar area was ok, rooms were average splits in sheets, wholes in furniture. The dinning area was in need of refurbishment it wasn't clean there was rips and stains on the tablecloths, food was horrible, cold and they kept running out of chips which seemed to be the only edible food on display, Coffee machines kept breaking down, staff were miserable. I saved very hard for this hoilday and feel very upset and angry thankgoodness for the local resturants which did cost us, food at samokov resturant is digusting.

Hotel average more like a british 3star hotel, staff miserable, room average, furniture had rips in chairs sheets had rips in too. the biggest let down was the food, it was disgusting, cold , uncooked chips which seemed to be the most popular food on show they couldn\'t get them out quick enough thats why they were\'nt cooked, coffee was horrible some machines didn\'t even work, they ran out of food very quickly, there was no organisation staff were rude and unhelpful. as for the dinning room it was dirty and tablecloths were ripped and stained, i felt the hygiene side of things did slip. I would not reckomend this hotel to anyone.

Stayed at Samakov in January 2009 and had a great time (stayed at Rila in Feb 2008 and not much between the two hotels) Samakov Ski school was a little better organised and our instructor (Miro) was great. Hotel room comfortable and warm with the added advatage of a bath to relax in after a day on the slopes. I can thouroughly recommend having a massage in the spa to ease aching muscles, very reasonable under Ł20 for 1 hour. The food was adequate and we are quite fussy eaters and didn't feel the need to eat out. Enjoy Borovets so much that we can hardly wait the five weeks until we fly out for our third visit and are even considering booking a week in March. Can't get enough of the place. It may not be the Alps but it sure is value for money fun!!

We have stayed at the hotel for 4 days of skiing. The location is perfect for getting to the Gondola lift and you can pick up your ski hire quite cheaply if you go to the White Magic bar across from the hotel entrance and speak to the owner. The rooms are clean and tidy. The maids are always friendly and happy to help out, as well as the receiptionist. Overall, wonderful winter holiday at mid-range ski hotel in Borovets.

I have read most of the comment on this site , and was very concerned about my holiday, as it was the first skiing Holiday i have been on.
I arrived there on Saturday 7th Feb 2009. And had a week there, coming home yesterday.I had the time of my life, and the best holiday i had ever had.
The staff were very helpful, the food was very good, and the ski school was great.
There are a lot of bars and restaurants in Borovets for the evenings so you do not have to stay in. But if you want a great night in ,its one the Wednesday night when the ski instructors put on a show.
May i take this opportunity to thank the staff at the Samokov Hotel from a great week , THANK YOU......
You only get what you pay for. But this was great value.

This Hotel was built in the great days of Communism! rather like a Mausoleum, lots of different things going on in the hotel but it is so dated. To be absolutely fair the rooms were clean, but again dated in furnishings and fixtures and fittings a little flimsy. The food is an absolute joke they actually manage to spoil basic good ingredients and turn out unappetising 'food'. You are fed in a Soviet food hall which harks back to the 1970's....if you like food you will be very very disappointed. The Ski School was excellent value for money, although the equipment was a little tired. Most of the Cafes/Bars sell substandard food, so if you are looking to be well fed Borovets is not exactly the place for you......If you want to be fed to a decent standard go to Katys Wine and Steak Bar across the road from the Samakov, excellent value and good breakfasts and meals without getting ripped off. I made a few enquiries with other hotels and there is a common thread..the food is dreadful and cold in all of them.

We stayed in this hotel last month. Having not been to Bulgaria before we weren't sure what to expect.
Due to a flight delay we arrived at the hotel at 1am. A porter was there to take our bags from the coach and patiently waited while we checked in and rented a safety deposit box . This didnt take long and as soon as we had our room key the porter showed us to our room, gave us a quick rundown of where to find things within the hotel area.
We left the unpacking and went straight back down to the bar (which was still open) for a quick drink. The waiting staff were very courteous and had a good understanding of English.
We returned to our room to have a look around and get some sleep. It was clean, warm and comfortable and had, satellite television, telephone and balcony. Also we found full instructions for use of telephone, television etc. We woke the next morning after a really comfortable night sleep and went down for breakfast. We used our meal cards (cards which allowed for breakfast, evening meals and swimming pool usage). The breakfast options were comprehensive, offering juice, tea, coffee, fruit, cereal, toast and cooked breakfast.
After a quick trip back upstairs (in the lift) to change we went to the Samokov Hotel own ski school for fitting of boots and allocation of skis. They were helpful patient and made sure we had correctly fitting boots, suitable skis and poles.
It should be said that Samokov ski school was brilliant. The instructors were great - and very patient ! - and felt like part of the family by the end of the week. They had lunch with us on skiing days and gave us an intersting insight into their culture, history and the surrounding area.The days were spent skiing and evenings either eating in the hotel, out in the many restaurants/bars.
There was a variety of evening meals in the hotel restaurant which were great. What is worth remembering is that the Bulgarians don't eat their food hot like we do. The food is very warm but not hot. None the less the Bulgarian cuisine in and out of the hotel was good.
The reception was manned 24hours a day and the staff were always courteous and went out of their way to be helpful.
Lastly, we had a fabulous week and the hotel was everything we expected, so much so that we are returning Samokov Hotel in January!

We stayed at this hotel in Feb 2007, and what can I say well!!! the food was awful , the room was small and the sofa bed was a living hell. My wife used the hair dryer supplied in the bath room and every time she used it, the electric would blow, the staff need people training as some can be very rude,still there are some good points the skiing was good for the week we were there. The town was o.k never see any sex shops but was not looking. Our instructor was great (Julian) he was with us all week and we meet some great people in our party. In fact we have meet up in the U.K for a weekend at Milton Keynes skiing at the dome. We are going back and are traveling to this hotel this year, will suffer the room for a week but will eat out in the evening. If you want a cheap week skiing then go, but go with an open mind that this hotel is very old but clean( well sort of ) and enjoy!!!

Just returned from a second skiing holiday in Borovets. This was over the very busy February half term on both occasions and with my family (including two kids 7 and 5) and 3 other families.
The overall holiday was very good particularly in terms of value for money. If you want western europe 4 star holiday standards then pay up and go to France etc since this is not that!!
Inside the hotel the rooms are spacious though basic. Bathrooms are old but plenty of hot water (last year on occasions it seemed to lack capcity but no problems this year). Room lighting could do with lisghtly higer wattage bulbs. Food is basic but okay. Main Bar is okay but if you want a quiter drink use the bar on the first floor. Swimming Pool entertained the kids as did the bowling and shooting. Didn't visit the gym since had enough exercise skiiing!! Certainly dd not look at internet since on holiday. Staff skills varied with some lacking in customer service skills but the restaurant and skiing staff were very good. THe youngest was in the SkiKindergarten which was improved this year but still basic - but she enjoyed herself with a couple of afternoons taken off to vary her programme - staff excellent.
On the resort - some good restaurants and if you don't have kids and want to hit the drinks it looked as if there was lots to do. However with kids didn't spend much time on the later!
Skiing wise my wife and son (7) got lessons and seemed to enjoy themselves and thought highly of their instructors. From a "free skiers" perspective some of the groups seemed rather large but then the cost of the Samokov lessons is low so again you get what you pay for and you can get individual or more focused instruction either from the hotel or locally.
The slopes are okay though a gap between the easier and harder slopes making the jump daunting for some. The Gondola side of the resort is much better for the more confident skiers and the runs down to and around the Yastrebets Express chair lift were the best.
On the snow side, this year 4 of 6 days was excellent then the tempurature went up (10 degree's outside the Rila Hotel!!) and the runs got very bare lower down and very icy overall. The top slopes were not accessible for the last 3 days due to high winds and this lead to more ski schools on the remaining slopes.
Overall though a very good value holiday! If you want Alps standards for accomodation / food etc then go to the Alps and pay the premium, if you want to take the family skiing at a reasonable price then Borovets does it.
Hope this is helpfull.

Recently visited the some what notorious Hotel Samokov this month (Jan 06) with tour company inghams.
First thing to say about this hotel is that it is massive. Many floors, many rooms and loads of facilities.
The rooms weren't particularly great, seemed very dark and old fashioned. Our bath was hanging from the hinges as well. It would have been nice to have the facilty to boil water as well. Also, if you have a third person in the room, make sure you don't get stuck with the soda bed. Not great for a week by any standards - noisy and uncomfortable.
In terms of snowboard hire, we didn't have any problems getting out equipment in the morning, altho the bindings on my board weren't great and ended up not using their board. As for the lessons, they didn't really stack up to much but for some reason, the equipment hire and lift passes are cheaper if you get lessons too (thru inghams before you go) they also claimed before hand that if you had ever done it before they would throw you off the lesson and take away your lift pass. complete rubbish. so just save yourself some money!
Back to the hotel, facilities weren't as great as anticipated. I laughed at another comment posted about the gym - it really is rubbish. nothing works! internet wise, they only had 2 computers and only one worked properly.
In terms of food at the hotel, it wasn't great to be honest but then we didn't expect much really. After 3 meals in there we opted out of it and went and ate out, not expensive and much better. Would recommend you ask the locals in shops to point out any restaurants they go to. we went to one that you would never go in normally but it was excellent, served proper bulgarian food, the owner gave us a free jug of red wine when we came in and it was so cheap you almost felt bad.
This report does sound critical but I had a really good holiday. You are going for the boarding/skiing and a few drinks in the evening, not to sit in a lap of luxury for a week. As the hotel was graded 4 start, I was expecting it to be better but it is ok. Also, the hotel nightclub is if anything, hillarious and very cheap. may as well have a look.
Oh, and 101 cocktails is excellent if you are looking for a rowdy night. Buzz bar is pretty good as well.
In terms of slopes, well worth going up on the gondola, very nice scenery on the way up and less crowded as well. Word of warning, they stop at 4.20, so don't get caught up there if you are an amateur as it is a long way down!!
Hope this helps!!

I have just got back from a week in Borovets, February half term week 2005, and what a disappointment
We stayed in the Samokov Hotel, described 4 star standard.
The Samokov is hard pushed to make a 2 star grade.
It is desperately in need of a face lift.
The rooms are very cramped, dated, poorly lit, there is no T/coffee making facilities, the plumbing is hit and miss, the bedding looks and feels 50 years old.
Our room stank of stale cigarette smoke which permeated every article of clothing we had and the bathroom fittings were loose and poorly maintained. Yes I did complain to the hotel reception and requested a room change but this could not be facilitated. They could not even find some air freshener spray to make the room bearable and with outside temperatures sub zero, airing the room was uncomfortable.
The food was just edible but again definately not of 4 star standard and most of it was served luke warm.
The swimming pool is a toxic chemical soup and the gym is full of broken and poorly maintained equipment.
Borovets resort is full of peep shows and exotic bars offering adult entertainment. Some of the pole dancing was observable from the street. Not the sort of place I had in mind for a family holiday.
Our first day was a nighmare. We had no help what so ever with boot fitting despite lots of people in authority standing around. The limited staff dishing out equipment quickly got frayed tempers.
The Gondola was out of action for the first 3 days making the limited remainder of the slopes very crowded and they quickly turned into ice, mush and bare rock.
When the gondola did open the que was so large it took us all morning to get up to the top of the mountain.
The only good thing I have to say about Borovets is the ski instructor was very patient and competent, however, the average group size was 15 persons making progress very slow.
No I will not be going back to Borovets.

I have just got back from a great week in Borovets, the snowboarding instructors are a great laugh and you are guaranteed an amazing lesson. The Samokov hotel is brilliant, so much to do, so little time. I recommend visiting the restaurant 'Mama mias' up by the slopes, you will receive great service and great food.

I don't think that Borovets has a selection of good hotels to choose from but we were told the Samokov was 4 star. We stayed there in Dec 03 and were not impressed.
Negative
The hotel is a large, depressing, grey concrete block.
The rooms are small and very dingy.
The food is awful.
The swimming pool is unsanitary.
Positive
The bowling alley and table tennis is fun though.
The hotel is opposite the gondolas so very good location
And if, you're unlucky like we were, you'll be pleased to know the hotel doctor is very nice.

Went on a skiing holiday for Christmas.
Atmospere is great, skiing brilliant and instructors really good with beginners. Told this is a beginners resort but as we are beginners it was perfect. Value for money it is excellent, best place to eat we found is the Hungry Horse, who cater for all nationalities and are very friendly and eager to please. As my husband went down with pneumomonia after five days we also experienced the hospital system. WHATEVER YOU DO TAKE OUT THE VERY BEST TRAVEL INSURANCE YOU CAN, WE USED THE NFU AND THEY GOT US OUT OF BULGARIA AND THE 1940'S HOSPITAL SYSTEM.
IT WAS HORRENDOUS.
The hotel was OK on the surface but take a travel kettle with you.Our superior room was OK but not the quality of and english 4 star and the food was adequate, but un-exciting, repetitive and frankly boring.But its cheap to eat out so just go and enjoy it.
Would go back again, but probably self catering, and still with a good insurance plan.

I have gone to ski resort's all over the world and when I went to Borovet's which is the biggest international ski resort in Bulgaria on January1,2003 frome the U.K I fell in love with the resort. The resort has twice hosted World Cup competitions in Alpine skiing. Its biathlon track is one of the best in Europe. the snow slopes of Borovets have permanent snow cover from December to April. The air in Borovets is clear and free of any pollutants.the night life is all so great best club is clube slide you can hear the best from the world club music: house, garage, tech-house, latin-house, jazz-house and 100 % clubbing, played on vinyl by the top DJ's of Bulgaria and abroad.a great restaurant is Happy Duck is known as one of the best restaurants in Borovets. You can easily find it on the main road going down from the Gondola, near hotel Mura. This restaurant has unique style and great food. The service is very good too. Borovet's is a ski resort that I will recomend to any on I am going to Borovet's on Dec10,2003 for christmas I have bought I 3 story villa over 1,000 sq meter for $60,000 is time I will not be living Bulgaria I will stay there for ever.

I stayed at the Hotel Samokov, and found it very comfortable. Some have criticised the food, but I thought it quite acceptable for the price of the package, but do beware of undercooked grilled meats.
Borovets has plenty of opportunities for walks, and the cable car ride to the Yastrebets peak is well worth taking. The Bistritsa Palace is also interesting.
I also went on an excursion to Plovdiv and the Bachkovo monastery, which was an enjoyable day.
I would recommend Borovets for a non-beach summer holiday in Bulgaria. Being a ski resort, it is quiet in the summer, and you can often be the only customer in a restaurant for lunch.
A few practical tips:
1) the best exchange rate is at the Bulgarian Post Bank under the Hotel Ela
2) you can get good Bulgarian food at the Bulgarian Dish restaurant, but first you must get past the growling spaniel. I don't think I've ever encountered a vicious spaniel before, but their cat is much more friendly!
3) apparently the only place where you can buy stamps for your postcards is in the post office in the village.
Unlike some other correspondents, I have no complaints against Balkan Holidays, and their reps were consistently friendly and helpful.

Samokov Hotel
The hotel is being progressively spruced up, certainly the upper floors had been freshly decorated, though I believe some lower down were in a pretty dingy state. We particularly liked the public rooms, which are large and busy and contain a coffee bar, cake shop, pancake bar, to list but a few; other facilities are numerous and good value. Changing cash is no problem if you stick to hotel cash desks or recognised banks but do be carefull if using any on the many street money changing facilities; their advertising boards are meant to deceive you and they do. A reasonable 3.15leva may well turn out to be 2.30 to the ? and there is nothing you can do about it once you realise you have been ripped off. In particular, stay clear of the kiosks alongside the Samakov; Bank Bulgaria National to name but one. Having been ripped off once, we used the bank at the gondolla station which gave a good rate. Also we found the adjacent mini market to be good value, especially for sweets, drinks and toilet gear.

Samokov Hotel
It's a very big and very impersonal hotel but nevertheless we chose this hotel again for the nice swimming pool. The food was more western than last year, no 'haute cuisine' of course but you can choose from different main courses and only very fussy eaters won't find anything that they like. The rooms are not so comfortable and no repairs have been made since the hotel opened but then all of this depends on your own expectations and high standards.

The food in this hotel is chronic, (as are the staff). I'd have starved if not for the local snack bars and superb crepe stall facing the Samakov. Otherwise the hotel has good amenities, bars and a good basement club/disco.

The Hotel Samakov is a little basic but nonetheless probably the best place to stay in Borovets. Fantastic hydrojet machine soothes those apres ski aches and pains. Food very poor in hotel (maybe you like Pedigree Chum dog food?) but the restaurants are good value. Try Katy's across the road for good value steaks - 16oz steak for £6! Peter's Bar good for a laugh if you like karaoke.
