We booked a one bedroom apartment for a week and were given one in the main building. The location was excellent being a few minutes walk up the hill to the nearest piste and a few minutes down the hill to the gondola. The apartment was very clean and spacious and had a sunny aspect. The sheets were changed halfway through the week and the towels almost every day. It was warm and comfortable and had a fake fire and local TV. The kitchen was quite well equipped with a hob, microwave and toaster. On the downside, the fridge had a really bad smell so we did not use it but rather left our perishable items on the balcony. The bathroom had both bath and shower and plentiful hot water. There was also plentiful loo roll and toiletries. We did not use the spa or pool but tried the in-house restaurant a couple of times. The food was absolutely OK, nothing to rave about but good for the price. Most ski hotels have a ski room but this one did not so we had to take our skis and boots in the lift at the start and finish of each day. I had the impression that most people skiing here would hire gear from the on site ski depot and so would not have this problem. While we were very happy with our accommodation, our corridor neighbours showed us their studio apartment which looked cramped and dingy in comparison.

“Good location , facilities were good too, Rooms basic”

Good location with good facilities available. In need of an upgrade in the rooms though which spoil it. Breakfast was good value for money with quite a lot to choose from. There’s also an ATM in main reception. Very close to the slopes and some good bars/ restaurants close by too

“Good budget stay”

I went to Borovets for a week-long ski trip with friends. We are students so wanted a cheap getaway, there were 3 of us so we were placed in a ‘studio’. Accommodation: For what we paid, we were not expecting the apartment to be so nice! Feels like they must have renovated the room (3409) fairly recently. Equipped with comfortable double bed, large sofa bed, bathroom, kitchenette and balcony. We were super impressed with the kitchenette - even though we didn’t use it as chose half board- we had an oven, hob, fridge (with freezer compartment), kettle, toaster, microwave, dishwasher, sink, all cutlery, crockery, pots/pans etc and also a washing machine!! Clothes drying rack in the bathroom over the bath which meant we could actually wash and dry most of our clothes before going home. Was also possible to store skis on the balcony so we could save money on not hiring a locker (if not travelling on a budget, plenty of ski lockers close to the main lifts eg at Rila). Soo much storage too that despite 3 girls packing XL suitcases there were still empty cupboards! A hairdryer was not supplied in the room but we just asked for one at reception and were given one for free. Toiletries were provided too and fresh towels/linen daily. The biggest downside was that as we were staying in an apartment, we were not in the main part of the hotel, we were in a separate block. This meant that you had to walk outside to go for breakfast/supper/reception. Food: We stayed half board so had breakfast and supper. It was basic but certainly got the job done! Breakfast had an omelette station, pancakes, waffles, different fruits/yoghurts/spreads, toast, cereal, porridge, scrambled and fried eggs, bacon, sausages, hash browns and baked beans as well as fresh continental options too. Coffee/water/juice available at breakfast only, so we took our own water bottles down to dinner with us. Dinner usually had 4 salad options, a few meat options, chips, chicken nuggets, fish and pasta options as well as fruit and desserts. Dinner was a bit hit and miss but we never went hungry. If you like fine dining then I would skip on the board option and eat out (we ate at Victorias one night which had a huge menu, the Rila had a lovely looking restaurant and Mamacitas the Mexican was also fab). Hotel/Facilities: The hotel could certainly do with some updating, and I can’t comment on the pool/spa facilities as I didn’t use them. Staff seemed happy and generally helpful. I was impressed with the cleanliness. Safes are not found in rooms (or at least not in ours). we asked at reception for a safe and were offered a small red box (like an old cash box) with a lock and key for valuables, for a charge. We decided against this and chose to store our valuables elsewhere. Location: A 5 minute walk carrying skis, or a 2 minute walk otherwise to the main slope and gondola. Borovets: Fab budget ski trip and especially good for beginner/intermediate skiers! Great lively nightlife too. Night skiing is one not to be missed! Overall: Would return to Borovets, would stay at Hotel Flora again.
