Nice place to spend a couple of days. Clean and in a good location. Carpet could use a refresh. Breakfast is in a cafe that adjoins to the lobby and was plentiful and very good--you are given a menu to choose from. Water pressure for the shower was plentiful!

Hotel Lion was in beautiful historic building conveniently located next to a metro station and within walking distance to most attractions in Sofia. There was a lovely cafe next to the hotel. In addition, there are many good cafes, restaurants and convenience stores nearby. Staff were helpful. The only small issue was an odour from the bathroom even though my room and the bathroom were clean.

The view from our room was the very best. If you are bothered by traffic noise (trams are loud), you should ask for a room on the courtyard side. Good location near transport links. There are also a few grocery stores near the hotel.

Located right by metro stop so transport links there are perfect. Lovely little restaurant attached to hotel. 5 minute walking distance to nearby market. Reception had an odd smell on arrival but works were being done. Friendly and efficient staff. Spacious and well equipped rooms.

We selected hotel Lion for a city break (4 night stay). The hotel is good value, its clean and secure . The location offers good access to the old town if you liked walking, if not it has a tram stops close by that will allow access to more places in and around the city, we used them and have to say they are great value. The hotel is also walking distance to the main railway and bus station which allows good access to other towns – we did a day trip to Plovdiv, going out on the bus and returning the next day by train.

Perfect for a few nights in Sofia! It is walking distance to the bus station and the metro station that takes you to the airport. It is clean and spacious. Only thing is you hear the trams going and coming. Not too bad but if you’re a light sleeper just fyi.

Comfortable, good value, ideal location

Given room 27. Ideal for me - quiet, kettle, fridge and spacious. Hotel staff very friendly and helpful and a terrific cafe attached for breakfast or other meals including craft beers. Ideal location, next to Lavov Most metro, one stop from Serdika and ten minutes from the main bus and train stations. Very pleased to return for a further night 3 days later in the same room.
