Top Akademika Ski Lift Hotel Reviews

Saint George Palace

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was really great value for money staff were so nice , promptly fixed some problems I had and even help me fix my glasses . I will visit again"

Kempinski Hotel Grand Arena

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were fantastic and the facilities are amazing."

Guest House Anex

8/10 Good

"Very welcoming lady at reception, no aircon but not an issue, only downside is that you can hear people in nearby rooms and when they flush toilet etc. Is very good value for money, well located and certainly for the price would recommend."

Wellness Hotel Bulgaria

8/10 Good

"I stayed in September which is out of the ski season so didn’t get the experience of it being a spa hotel as I was the only guest and had to ask to use the jacuzzi and other facilities. Staff were very helpful and accommodating though. In season when the hotel is full it’s probably a very different experience. Hotel room is a little dated but clean, breakfast was very good. It Is a good location being midway between the old town and the top of town where the gondola is."

Regnum Bansko Mountain Resort

8/10 Good

"Good breakfast, nice pool area. Staff has to work on a "customer-first" attitude. The hotel is a bit of a walk to shops and restaurants and feels a bit too remote off season. There was also a building site next door. It's worth booking mountain view for a better experience."

4star fully furnished 2 bed self-catering apartment - stone's throw from gondola

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay in Bansko, great accommodation, value and location which had everything our family needed, the perfect base to return to after a long day on the slopes. Our host was very helpful and accommodating providing check in/out info and additional information like a contact for the taxi from the airport."

St. George Ski & Holiday

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, good facilities. Close to gondola with frequent shuttle, ski hire in the building with friendly and helpful staff. "

Kap House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay at Kaphouse family hotel. The rooms were spacious, spotless, and well kept. The staff were genuinely friendly, always welcoming, and ready to help with anything we needed. The location was excellent and made it easy to get around. You can really feel it’s a family hotel—comfortable, caring, and relaxed. We would definitely stay again!"
