Hotel Casa Karina Bansko - Half Board & All Inclusive

Adequate for the price and with good distribution of the commodities

Spacious, comfy, well-designed interior; a well structured hotel. Friendly and helpful staff. There were some exceptional dishes in the restaurant menu - including whole roasted suckling pig for Christmas. There was also a live folklore performance for Christmas. Very pleasant interior design. Within walking distance of grocery stores, Bansko's center and many other amenities.

The corridor connecting the rooms was generally dark. The lighting was controlled by a couple of PIR sensors. They were not great at detecting movement. So you end up walking into a dark corridor, waving your hands and hoping for the lights to come on. We booked three rooms. Two of them were heated by AC units. Third one - small electric convection heaters. Those convection heaters were not adequate for heating up the room. Rooms are mixed - some were recently renovated, some were more beaten up. Some guests were quite loud during dinner.

It is not our first stay at the hotel. What I like most about it is the convenient location. Also I was pleasantly surprised by the spa facilities and the garden outside, drinking coffee under the shadow of huge trees. The restaurant is also very nice,tasty breakfast, pleasant atmosphere. Comfortable lobby bar with high quality coffee.

What I didn’t like was the room. We were accommodated in obsolete studio. The bathroom was not so clean, the furniture and the kitchen were worn out.

The facilities are very good, as the meals.

The hotel is close to the Bansko gondola, but not so close as presented on the hotel site. It can be reached by foot (with ski boots) but better by car (taxi).
