Saint George Palace Aparthotel

Excellent great value hotel. Free shuttle to the ski complex and only 10 minute walk into the superb Bansko. Great friendly service and food quality. Special shout out to Bobby the bartender, really top bloke and fantastic service. Will be visiting here again.

We have just come back from a 7 night stay at this hotel. We had a 2 bedroom apartment which was huge, very clean , modern and warm. We were lucky to have 2 separate balconies that over looked the mountains. The food was buffet style for breakfast and dinner. You could also order off the menu. There was a great deal of choice and it tasted amazing. The staff were very lovely and helpful in the restaurant. We also had 2 massages at the spa that week, the ladies were incredible and the guy who looked after the reception was so welcoming, chatty and very funny, There are 2 bars, 1 downstairs and 1 upstairs,, Booby who ran the downstairs bar was a delight and made the best frozen daiquiri’s! That bar was more lively that played live football etc of an evening. The upstairs bar is a lot quieter, their happy hour cocktails were very good and the views are beautiful at sunset from there. Overall the hotel, facilities and staff were 10/10 and I would definitely stay there again.

The rooms are very specious and cosy, with plenty of storage and very good size beds, we stayed in two bedroom apartment and we had two separate bathrooms which made it very comfortable. Food is very healthy and good, with options for vegetarians and little ones. Comfortable location, walking distance from city center as well as quiet for those who wants to just chill after busy day of skiing, shuttle to and from gondola makes it very comfortable as well, however drivers can be a bit grumpy, but the rest of the staff is perfect. Receptionist Anna made our stay so comfortable, she was very welcoming, helpful and explained everything we needed to know, the barmen Bob made our evenings fun and guy in the sauna was super welcoming as well. In general we loved staying in St. George palace and know recommend it to others. We definitely will be back!

On arrival the foyer is cosy and inviting with a large and very impressive fire. Reception staff very helpful. Rooms are not so fancy but met our needs. We actually had to move rooms following a plumbing emergency (freak occurrence, not a reflection on the hotel). We had booked a 2 bedroom apartment for myself, husband and 2 children 12 & 14 as we didn’t feel it was fair for them to share a sofa bed if we got a 1 bedroom apt. In the first apt both bedrooms had twin beds. Bathroom was equipped with bath and separate shower. Shower wasn’t the best, if you turned it up too high it would flip up like a crazy hose, spraying over the top of the screen and soak the whole bathroom. Kitchen had dishwasher, 2 ring hob and electric oven and a very tiny fridge. There were 4 cups, glasses, plates, bowls, etc, a frying pan and saucepan. Living area had a sofa that fitted the 4 of us (we’re all quite slim) and a Tv. The room we were moved to was a bit bigger, still 2 bedrooms but one had bunk beds with a small double on the bottom, the other had twin beds. Kitchen this time had a 4 ring hob, electric oven, large fridge and bigger dishwasher. No pans this time but I brought a couple of my own saucepans, a frying pan, wooden spoon and disposable tin foil trays for the oven. Both rooms also had dish soap, a tea towel and dish cloth provided although I had brought my own along with dishwasher tabs. Plenty of cupboard space for food. Again just basic necessities provided for cutlery/plates, etc. Shower was better although it leaked. Curtains weren’t quite wide enough for all the windows. So all in all, rooms weren’t luxurious but were comfy and fit for purpose. Plenty of towels provided. We went to the pool/hot tub a couple of times, robes and slippers provided in room and towels in spa. No issues with the facilities, not too busy but we were there outside of school holiday times. We didn’t eat in the restaurant but had pizza delivered to our room a couple of nights when I was too tired to cook and it was delicious. Room service prices are the same as the hotel restaurant prices with 10% added for room service fee. We thought price was very reasonable. There was a shuttle to take everyone down to the gondola in the mornings and back to the hotel in the afternoon, last one at 5pm. Distance into town is walkable but not in ski boots. We found grocery shopping limited in the town, ‘supermarkets’ were small and overpriced. Always check your change if you pay cash!! Due to this and also limited time to shop if you are out skiing all day, I wouldn’t do self catering again. We booked with Balkan and were very happy with the service we received from them. We got fast passes for the gondola as standard with Balkan which is invaluable. We also left our ski gear in the hire shop at the gondola station so didn’t need to carry anything apart from our boots. We had a great week in Bansko and would recommend it for beginner skiers. We would also go back to St George palace.

Great hotel for our first family skiing holiday. We stayed half board and in the 2 bedroom apartment. Breakfast and dinner were excellent. The food was wonderful- but if you have fussy eaters you may struggle as there’s no chips and chicken nugget type options. The spa was brilliant and a welcome treat after a day of skiing. The whole hotel was really child friendly and welcoming. We will be returning.

Aile için ideal Yoğun olmasına rağmen sessiz sakin bir otel. Konum olarak biraz şehir dışında fakat kayakçılar için shuttle hizmeti var. Tekrar gelmek isteriz.
