Vihren Royal Palace

Facilities: Guests frequently praise the hotel's facilities, including a warm pool, gym, and sauna. The spa area is particularly noted for its relaxing atmosphere, making it a great option after a day on the slopes.

Stayed here in Mar 24, there is plenty of accommodation in Bansko so it is a bit of a lucky dip. Hotel is well located for the main gondola station. The rooms are very 80's and basic, we had an apartment so thought we could cook something simple or at least make a hot drink in the 'kitchen'. I think there were 2 cups and a kettle and nothing else. I recommend you book breakfast with your room as you would not want to bother with going shopping for it and making it yourself unless you bring bowls and plates and some cutlery on holiday. The breakfast was an interesting multicultural spread but you can have a good feed ready for the day. There was only a singke 2 slice toaster working the whole week we were there, it had 3 toasters out but only 1 worked so the queue for the toaster was a bit like the queue for the gondola. The coffee machine was like queuing for a 4 person chair lift. The pool and spa area is a great part of the hotel and makes up for the tired looking rooms. The gym is compact but there is enough in there for a workout if you want to. The bar has a good pool table and some comfy seats if you want a chilled put evening away from the bars in town. Overall not a bad hotel for the price. clean towels most days and plenty of toilet rolls provided for some reason, but do not be fooled by the pictures,
