Hotel Pirin

Amazing pool, steam bath and sauna, with fluffy white bathrobe provided, but no slippers, which are required, so bring your own. Lovely fire in reception next to the bar.

Shuttle only ran a few times a day, and not as scheduled, and not at times that were any use if you had classes on the mountain, or wanted to get to or from Apres ski/dinner in town/organisng your equipment rental. Expect taxis or a 30 min walk up a hill right before a class. Reception was surly on the first night, little to no English, demanding I provide vouchers for my stay, when I had paid through lastminute and none were required. Included food was terrible. My friends at other hotels with inclusive meals, had great options. I ended up paying to eat at their hotels instead. Room carpet was all stained, and bedding v. thin and old. Reception bar had no wine, only beer and spirits.
