THE WORST HOSPITALITY EVER EXPERIENCED! We chose this hotel as a group of 12 friends ready to celebrate a friends 30th birthday & two other birthdays, skiing in Bansko, Bulgaria. Writing this review, it is rather unfortunate, as this hotel [Strazhite Hotel] has so much potential with amazing views, location & amenities. However, upon arrival we (my partner and I) were "greeted" with the worst welcoming we have ever experienced - we have traveled a lot and have never received this sort of treatment. The blonde lady working at the front desk was on the phone for a few minutes and then proceeded to ask for our passports, gave us our key cards and pointed towards the lift, as if to say "go there", then, remembering, passed us what was our "dinner" (having arrived late, around 10:30pm), this consisted of x2 sandwiches, an apple & a water in a plastic bag. After noticing that the sandwiches contained meat (my partner is vegetarian), we politely asked if there was a vegetarian option to which she [the blonde lady] responded "NO!" Throughout our stay, the staff at the breakfast & dinner buffets would remove our plates, mugs & glasses, whilst we were still eating and were then unable to get more coffee at breakfast, once all mugs were used/removed. There are NO DRINKS (not even water) served with dinner, unless you order & pay from a drinks menu, but this option was not made available to us. & you are not allowed to take drinks up from the bar. The staff would also mumble & swear under their breath, whilst around our table, unaware that we understood them. For a 4* hotel, the lack of food variety (4 guests of our party were vegetarian) was not only shockingly limited, but cold & unappetising too. Another night, we asked the bartender if he could dispose of some rubbish we had with us, he told us "no" & said that we would have to deal with it ourselves or use the bin in our room - as insignificant as this sounds, it's just to show that ALL staff were unfriendly, unprofessional & unaccommodating during our stay. My partner went down to reception on our last night to get some more information regarding our coach transfer back to the airport. There was no one behind the desk, so he rang the bell on the front desk, where the same blonde lady marched out and threw the bell under the desk, to prevent guests from using it further. When he asked for the information, she pointed at a board and walked off, swearing under her breath once again. We left early Saturday morning, returned our room key cards & got given the same packed meal, as upon arrival. We took our water & left the rest, as it's just not something you would want to eat at 6am, or something you would expect q 4-star hotel to serve. As previously mentioned, this review is rather unfortunate, as the hotel truly has so much potential. The lounge (cosy fireplace), bar & spa areas were lovely but due to the staff & feeling uncomfortable in the hotel, we spent most of our days & time away from th
