“Small friendly hotel”

We stayed here in December 2019. The hotel is small compared to others in town but has a warm and friendly atmosphere. The rooms were clean and we enjoyed relaxing in the bar area in the evening. The stand-out memory for me was the New Year celebrations - a fabulous banquet with traditional music and dancing. We also like the Pamporovo resort- friendly and a warm welcome. Lots of local specialities in the various mountain bars - and such a wonderful view from the tower and the chairlifts.

“Skiing holiday fourth year at Dafovska”

A lovely, friendly hotel, smaller than others in the resort but this suits us. Very warm and lots of hot water. All the rooms have a mountain view, some are slightly restricted. The breakfast is fabulous the eggy bread amazing. I cannot comment on evening meals as we go out to eat.

“First time in Pamporovo - DELICIOUS food, cleanliness, hospitality”

This was our first time in Pamporovo Ski resort. We were a group of 4(two couples) and we have enjoyed Dafovska hotel very much. Our trip lasted for 7 days, so I will do my best to summarize the experience to potentially someone who is looking for a good place to stay in Pamporovo. [ FOOD] [ pr... more

This was our first time in Pamporovo Ski resort. We were a group of 4(two couples) and we have enjoyed Dafovska hotel very much. Our trip lasted for 7 days, so I will do my best to summarize the experience to potentially someone who is looking for a good place to stay in Pamporovo. [ FOOD] [ pros ] It was so delicious, we could't get enough. The breakfast might be considered as repetitive to some, but I find this to be satisfying because every morning you know what you can expect and everything is tasty: boiled eggs, fried eggs, sausage, chopped salami, two types of cheese, pancakes, homemade jam, nutela, sweet bread, little pies filled with cream cheese(my favorite), little croissants, fresh tomatoes and cucumber, olives... as for the drinks, there are tea, coffee machine, milk... As for the dinner, he star of the show for me, is the soup. I have never been so happy about eating soup :) it was so full of flavor and strong, just what you need after a full day of skiing. There were always two options for the soup: the one with meat, the other one without meat(but equally tasty). Best dishes in my opinion were: chicken goulash, meat bird nest and mushroom risotto. [ cons ] It might happen that you need to be first at the table to get the best pieces, as it can happen that hungry skiers eat everything and you end-up short handed. It would be good to have more fruit.the selection was not enough for my side(just one small plate of chopped fruit in the morning and not in the evening). The coffee from the machine is really not great, so find an alternative. [ ROOMS ] [ pros ] The rooms are spacious enough, each of them has a small balcony. The bathroom is spacious and clean. They are heated enough in my opinion(not too much, not too less). [ cons ] The double-rooms have separated single beds, so we had to close them together manually to create one double bed. There isn't enough space in the bathroom to leave your stuff. There is a shower curtain instead of glass. The hair dryer is old and almost unusable as it heats up in your hand pretty fast, and it starts to burn quickly. [ SERVICE ] [ pros ] The waiters have a class and manner. This is so rare to see nowadays! The staff is helpful and tries to help as much as they can. [ cons ] I don't have any cons here. [ THE SPACE ] [ pros ] The hotel itself is easy to familiarize with.Ski storage is OK. There is supermarket right at the hotel. [ cons ] The bar could use some redecorating as it looks little bit worn out. The restaurant can be little but crowded. [ SHUTTLE BUS / SKIING ] You will need to take tickets for shuttle bus on the reception. It has a schedule, but as it turns out, it is sometimes on time, and sometimes it is not, so you might want to check shuttles to other hotels, too. This is a valid option. The ski slopes are around 1.5km away, so it is not a big deal. Parking on ski slopes is 8 lev/day. If you can, buy everything online, to avoid waiting and wasting time.Skiing itself was ok. I would recommend this hotel! :)
