We have only returned today from a week in Bansko, staying at The Guinness and were really pleasantly surprised. This is our second holiday in Bansko, having stayed at the Pirin last year - Guinness was like a palace in comparison! As we know what to expect from Bansko, we appreciate that the development work being carried out can put... more

We stayed here twice - first time was Feb 08 and then we booked for over New Year 08/09. Ok, so it's not 5 star by our standards perhaps, but this hotel is clean, staff were fantastic- really friendly/helpful, rooms were huge - we got the 2 person apartments - absolutely ideal and the hotel is great location to Gondola.... more

We were quite satisfied with acomodation, service and food in hotel. The position, near gondola is also advantage. But burglaries are pretty often in this hotel, and they are among staff. My son left his mobile phone for 5 minutes near bar, and in that period only staff was around. His mobile phone disappeared. Also, the cleaning lady took money... more

The Hotel was located in the middle of construction area, there were no sidepath etc. Hotel was smoky due the large firepalce in a Lobby and they were... more

Temperature in rooms and in the central hall was about 28C. Around the hotel in state grass and trees, it was stones ,cranes and pits.... more

I completely ignored all the negative reviews of The Guiness and stayed for one week from 21st Jan 08. First off the Guiness is a great hotel, we checked in very quickly, no wait at all, the staff were very friendly. The room was spacious, with a balcony, medium size bathroom, with modern facilities heated floor and lots of hot... more

Ahhh... We booked this hotel to stay over New Year's, not being aware that it opened literally a couple of days before our arrival... We thought we found a good place to spend our holiday, considering it was marketed to us as a 5 star hotel at 5 star prices (400 eur per night per room!!!!!!!!!!) First, when we arrived,... more
