Katerina Hotel  

Perched 4 km above Bansko on the road to Shiligarnika, this cosy mountain hotel sits near the middle lift station. A forest path links the property with Bansko town and the Damianishka river, putting trails and town life within easy reach.

Small and snug with just 24 units, the hotel was fully refurbished in 2015 and keeps a clean, contemporary-mountain vibe. Marked summer hiking trails lead up to the Baykusheva fir, and a sunny lawn provides space for sports and outdoor games.

Steps from the middle lift station and connected by a forest path, the property offers easy access to hikes and lift rides. Wake up to crisp mountain air, stroll down to the Damianishka river, or stretch out on the sunny lawn before heading into Bansko.
