Roomer

Fortuna Apartments

Bansko, Bulgaria
$70-120/ nuit

Réservez si You're a budget-focused skier who prioritizes being 3 minutes from the gondola over luxury or silence.

Pourquoi les gens l'adorent

  • Unbeatable location just 150m from the Gondola
  • Spacious apartments with kitchenettes for self-catering
  • Access to an indoor pool and sauna after skiing

En bref : A functional, slightly dated crash pad that puts you in the center of the action—including the noise.

Évalué par @TravelByEmmaW: I was skeptical about a budget ski trip, but Bansko blew my mind. We stayed steps from the gondola, skied for days, and ate like royalty for under £700 total. It’s the perfect spot if you want the alpine vibe without the Swiss price tag.

Ce que les clients qui ont séjourné ici ont dit

The hype

Travelers love the location and price but tolerate the dated furniture and noise.

Reality check

The 'wellness' area is nice to have but showing its age, and you might need to wash the dishes before you use them.

  • You are here to ski all day and party all night
  • You need a multi-room apartment for a group on a budget
  • You plan to cook your own breakfast to save cash

Propreté et entretien

5.5
  • Housekeeping: Inconsistent. Many guests report 'missed spots' and dust. Daily cleaning is not the standard here.
  • Bathroom hygiene: High risk area. Complaints of moldy grout, leaking showers, and unpleasant drain odors are frequent.
  • Maintenance: Tired. Expect peeling paint, cracked walls, or a loose handle. It feels 'lived in' heavily.
  • Linens & towels: Hit or miss. Some report fresh towels, others found stained duvets and sheets that were too small for the mattress.
  • Odors & scents: Often smells of 'old building' or musty drains, occasionally masked by cleaning bleach.

FAQ et astuces cachées

Tout ce que vous voulez vraiment savoir avant de réserver.

Is the pool actually warm?

It's heated, but reviews describe it as 'lovely' rather than 'hot bath' warm. Don't expect thermal spring temperatures.

How close is the Gondola?

Extremely close. It's a 3-5 minute walk (approx. 150-250 meters) in ski boots.

Is there parking?

Yes, private on-site parking is available but costs extra (approx. 15 BGN / €8 per day) and requires reservation.

Does the WiFi work in the rooms?

It's a gamble. The official policy is 'public areas,' but some rooms catch the signal. Don't rely on it for work.

Is breakfast included?

Usually no. These are self-catering apartments. There is a restaurant on-site, but most guests eat out or cook.

Are there hidden fees?

Watch out for the cleaning surcharge (sometimes not included in the base rate) and the refundable damage deposit (~€50).

Conseils d'initiés

  • ✨

    The sofa beds are notoriously fragile—treat them gently.

  • ✨

    Bring your own bin bags; the provided bins are tiny and housekeeping is not daily.

  • ✨

    The 'wellness' area can get crowded immediately after the lifts close; go later for peace.

5 choses à savoir avant de partir

  • 💡The bathroom drains often have a 'grim' smell due to plumbing traps drying out.

  • 💡You might find leftover clothes or items from previous guests in the wardrobe.

  • 💡The 'double beds' are often two singles pushed together with a gap in the middle.

  • 💡Hot water can run out if everyone in your 4-person apartment showers back-to-back.

  • 💡The mop and cleaning tools provided in the room are often dirtier than the floor.
