He wasn’t very friendly! We left the hotel at 8:45am but the reception was closed and nobody around. We called a phone number twice that was on the door but nobody answered so we had to leave the key on a hook on the door!!"

Top Akademika 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"

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."

Mountain View Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was good, good location, parking, much space"

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."

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. "

MPM Guinness

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely Hotel, with a great first impression. Morden looking and equipped. The Reception and Restaurant staff were very friendly and helpful. Housekeeping team, were great by always maintaining the room clean. The food was nice with great selection. I would recommend and would definitely stay there again"

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!"
