I have been in Rila hotel few times over the years but mostly in the summer. I love the location because it is right in the middle of everything. I like how the hotel has been renovated and is constantly improving. The breakfast is great and has variety of choices. However the recent prices I think was a bit too much for the quality provided. The beds need to be improved as not comfortable. Also another thing I really was disappointed from was the thick ice in front of the property and on the whole parking lot. For such a major and expensive hotel, this shouldnt be an issue, the parking should be cleaned and the front of the hotel also. It is not something impossible. Other than that it is a nice place.

You can rent skiing gear at the hotel and also buy a ski pass. Any equipment you bring they will keep safe. We had a superior room (two adults, two children) and the room size was just perfect. They give you a welcome tea and coffe, also ketle is available in the room which is very convenient. Ski lift is in front of the hotel, and there is pleanty of tracks available from there. Ski school is also next to the ski lift. Overall everything was perfect and we will come again next year!
