4 key factors when choosing
Before you press the "Book" button, ask yourself the following questions:
Location: Next to the lift or in the center?
If your main goal is winter sports, choose the new part of town near the Gondola. For walks, history and evening taverns — old Bansko is your place.
Ski locker and shuttle
If you're a skier, check if the hotel has a ski room with boot warmers. The free shuttle to the lift is a huge plus — especially when it's snowy and cold.
The season matters.
Some hotels close outside of the ski season. If you're traveling in the summer, check to see if they offer an outdoor pool, organized hikes, or bike rentals.
Parking
During the busy winter season, parking in Bansko can be a challenge. Make sure your hotel offers free or secure parking.
