I would not recommend staying at the above hotel, although it is supposedly 3 star. It is situated at the top of a piste which you have to walk down to get to the village - it makes for a very tiring holiday before you have even started skiing - a particular nightmare if you have young children who are too tired to walk back up the hill in the evening after a meal out. The Rila and Samokov Hotels are far better. The beds at the Olymp were rock hard, the bathroom was appalling, and the food was awful. But having said all that, if you ate in the town the food was really good. Mamma Cita's even do a 'british breakfast' if you are desperate for good old eggs and bacon. The Katy's Bar was a good place to eat and also The Blue restaurant which does an excellent steak.
Recommend trying out the ski-doos which we booked through our rep. We also booked a trip on our last day to Sofia, but it's best not to rely on Sofia to purchase lots of pressies before you come home as there really isn't that much to buy, there is more choice in the village of Borovets.
In the village of Borovets the ski clothes are dirt cheap, chess sets, kids designer wear (No Fear, Vans etc) and well worth buying if you can stuff them in your suitcase.
Overall a good holiday, just beware which hotel you book and don't bother eating the food at the hotel.
You can buy stamps from the supermarket which is about 2 minutes walk from Hotel Rila. And you can then hand any post over to the reception at the Samakov who will gladly post them for you.
Beautiful country, lovely people - good holiday.
Plus the Bulgarian's idea of a sleigh ride, is actually a horse and cart, which was a slight disappointment.
