2-bed, 2-shower/WC apartment. Spacious with decent balcony. Looked a little careworn and could do with a lick of paint, but clean on arrival. No kettle, so had to boil water for tea/coffee in a pan, which was slightly annoying, but fine apart from that. Nice pool and sauna/steam room area plus restaurant/bar and games room in the basement. Reception staff were friendly and helpful. Represents good value for the price.
Predela 2 is at the top end of Bansko, about 300m up the hill from the Gondola. You can get across the road (50m walk) up the mountain and directly onto the 'Ski Road' via a forest path (further 50m walk) which is useful for getting to the Gondola in the morning and even more so for getting home via the Ski Road after a day's skiing. Gondola queues at half-term were obscene (2hrs!) unless you queue from just after sunrise. We sacked it after an hour in the queue on day 1 and drove up the mountain each day (10-15 min drive, 12 Lev/ ÂŁ5 per day parking and direct access to the ski area).
Decent little ski resort and the old town is beautiful, but they really need to sort out the Gondola situation or they will kill the resort; Bansko has been allowed to get far too big for the ski area and current access capacity.
