stayed in bansko hotel stratzhite in dec 2011, not too much snow but the ski school instructor was brilliant and made the best of what was available, excellent customer rapport and instruction. bansko hotel stratzite was very good, spacious and clean friendly staff and footy on the tv most days(premier games via bulgarian sky)..would return here, nightlife everything you want and restaurants ok priced too. Bulgarian people good and you shouldnt be put off by their somewhat quiet nature. after all this is still ex east european state coming out of the eastern bloc era......good value for money, great ski instruction food available if hotel not suitable. out of 10 give it 8.
