When I first arrived in Bansko and saw how run down and unloved some of it looks, I was quite concerned about our accommodation. However, I was pleasantly surprised by St Ivan and how clean and fresh it was inside. Our room was well maintained and the bed was extremely comfortable - something that is very important after a long... More

Miserable unhelpful staff who don't speak English or wish to help you Nice sized rooms but all rooms were missing plugs for the baths I assume so you can't have a bath to save costs! Had to argue to get one. Had to have your pool slippers (from the room) to go in the pool which is fair enough but... More

Great room, service & value. Room was more than big enough, cleaning service was good and we were two minutes away from the gondola with the shuttle service. Would stay there again without any hesitation.

We ate in the Mehana restaurant downstairs quite a lot and really enjoyed it, lovely food and quite reasonable. It is within walking distance to... More

It is a nice hotel out of the center of Bansko, not to far, not too close. It is in 10 min walking distance. Everyday organised shuttle bus to and from the gondola. Nice food and spa. Studios are really spacious and the rooms are kept clean every day.
