Overall rating:
The rooms were incorrectly managed and many of us were not in the hotel but in non-serviced accommodation for five days. There was no clear explanation of all-inclusive ending at 10.30pm. Booked meal in the Greek restaurant that the 8 guests rated as one of their worst food experiences in a restaurant. Transport was messy for bringing people to hotel. Was told only one transfer available but people were coming in on flights all over europe. The problem with the whole complex is management not good enough for the level of facilities.
Really poorly organised accommodation is dated and needs serious work to get it to a reasonable standard.
Hotel was functional and did what we needed , some of the staff were really hard work , struggled With English on a basic level and sometimes rude , the food was basic and not great and the retail Menu was very hardwork , the staff didn’t seem to like you deviating from the all inclusive menu, half the restaurants were closed and only one bar was open , although the golf course was really Nice and the hotel was functional we wouldn’t be going back .
Lovely beers and gins. Food was good, service iffy but didn’t change our experience
Staff were friendly. Rooms were a bit dated but fine for a no thrills golf trip. Food was much better at the golf clubhouse compared to the restaurants at the hotel. The spa was great.
Stunning Location, in the mountains with amazing scenery . Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms very dated, however are functional. Upon arrival only one bed for two people, although additional sofa bed with pull out bed provided, there was no additional bedding provided, so a trip back to reception was required which is not a great introduction to your stay. Both double bed and sofa bed were uncomfortable, bearable on a short golf break, but certainly not a luxury accommodation experience. Resort was very picturesque, went all inclusive and whilst food/drink options are plentiful, quality of food was pretty average. Avoid using minibar, tea/coffee in room, as these are charged seperate (you can get round this by stocking your fridge with drinks from bar/Golf course or taking tea bags from buffet breakfast) Not much to do in terms of evening entertainment, perfect if you are looking for a quieter chilled out break, but not much to do in the evenings if you want something more lively. Whilst there are clearly some shortcomings, it offered great value for money paid.
We stayed in a studio room apartment in the Pirin village, ideally situated in a block joined to the hotel and one floor above the Spa area. Although the room was relatively basic, it suited the needs for our golf break. On an all inclusive basis, we ate or drank etc at either the hotel or club house - the food was a set menu or buffet but good and enough variety. There is an option to eat at a couple of other restaurants in the village, but it was very quiet. Staff were all friendly and helpful. The Spa includes an inside pool, outside warm pool and thermal area with Sauna etc - all inclusive. Transfer from airport was swift and efficient in Pirin's car; and transfers to and from golf in electric buggy seamless ! All in all incredible value for money
After reading some of the previous reviews our group of 4 were a little apprehensive about Pirin. Turned out this place was an absolute gem. We stayed in the rooms off the main reception block and whilst they are a little basic they are great for what we needed. Short walk to all the restaurants and facilities. Food in the hotel was better than expected and whilst some of the restaurants were closed we still had good choice. Buffet breakfast was good with lots of choice and the staff were generally very helpful.
The hotel is a little bit tired and needs updating particularly in the bedrooms. They are functional but not memorable. The staff were very friendly in the bar and restaurant, breakfast choice was great but the hot food was ‘cold/warm’. Only had dinner one evening in the restaurant, the food was cold although there was lots of choice. The only other evening we ate at the Greek Restaurant and we were the only people there. It was ok, good service but food was average.
Although the rooms were quite basic, the food and drink very much made up for them. Truly all inclusive they will keep bringing you food and drink until you’re finished. On top of this all the staff were very friendly and helpful driving us around the complex when needed.
