This hotel is so nice. And that had such a lovely setting, with the ski area behind the resort.n most importantly the service was good, with very helpful and polite staff. Definitely will head back there again, unfortunately there wasn't much snow when we went so not all the ski lifts were open, I'd say Bansko is a pretty good... More

Big and nice hotel, but definitely not a 5-star or something special. Cheap bed and pillows. The variety of food for breakfast is good but the quality itself is average. The food in the restaurant is good - the prices are 10 times more than the prices in the good restaurants in the ski village. The hotel is located out... More

Everything was great, the breakfast was a perfect start for a looong ski day! The location is perfect as well, the gondola station is just next to the hotel, the room for the skies is also fine, you can even rent them there ((but the price is the double compared to the place below the gondola station)). The spa looks... More

This was our second time in Bansko and we have stayed at the Kempinski Grand Arena both times. The hotel's main attributes are its location less than 30 seconds walk from the gondola lift, and the spa, which hotel guests can use for free, and offers a great way to unwind after a day skiing. Bedrooms are large and well... More

The hotel is well situated - going out, you're on the piste and 50 meters away from the gondola base station. The building is new and it has atmosphere, especially when the fire is burning in the big fireplace in the main foyer. The staff at reception are friendly and professional, but all the other staff needs some more training... More
