mummybearBritAbroad,

last November I stayed at Ice Angels hotel in Borovets and was really amazed at the quality of service and the pleasant stay. I have reviewed this hotel in great detail, check it out.

I must say the prices in december (when we wanted to go again) were almost double compared to off season (November)..but I think the same applies to all hotels in Borovets.

I have stayed in 4 other 4-start hotels in Borovets and this one was really best of all. Just had some notes on the breakfast, which I emailed to the hotel and they responded that they would improve that.

Nice skiing in Borovets, this winter we really had great ski there!

I have been to Borovets for the last 4 years and stayed in numerous 3 and 4* places - I have to say the standard of accomodation / food etc, is very very similar where ever you go. The 2 main hotels are Samakov and Rila but do tend to be a bit more expensive. Please don%26#39;t expect France or Italy standards as Borovets is a little behind the times but thats what makes it so charming!

We%26#39;ve stayed at the Lion twice, a little way out of town but a shuttle bus runs throughout the day at regular intervals. Bit quieter than the main resort hotels, plus the pool is fab - great for your 12 year old!

We stayed at Christmas a couple of years ago, great atmosphere.

Don%26#39;t expect miracles with the food, it%26#39;s quite basic wherever you go, but plentiful, filling and hot - just what you need at the end of the day!

Have a great time

As said most the hotels around the same ( Im a regular there)- but beware not snow sure around xmas of late (thee will be at least some runs open i would imagine, but very busy!)

Personally i would go to Ice angels or samokov, or self catering at Flora and eat out- as many find the meals not what they expected (i allways find them ok a do my kids 12 and 10- skied since age 4 and love the place!)

Enjoy!
