Hotel LION Sofia

The hotel is conveniently located close to the underground station, but it is not in the centre of the city. ||It has two supermarkets very close by, which could be useful as breakfast can only be served as of 08.00 in the attached café, which also caters for external clients. ||Staff are not particularly nice or helpful in the hotel and in the café. ||There is a working elevator, but there is a short flight of stairs to reach it, so I do not think that the hotel is accessible, but it should be verified. ||The room was relatively spacious and nice, even if with a not-very-clean carpet as it was of a light colour and so stains were easily noticed. It had sufficient amenities. Room and in-suite bathroom seemed clean.||It would benefit from some renovations and from friendlier staff.

Perfectly situated for visitors to Sofia, 1 minute from the metro and boulevard Marie Louisa, a 10 to 20 minutes walk to all the best places to visit. The hotel rooms are excellent, well furnished, mine came with balcony with view of the lion bridge. 10 out of 10 from me

Good walking distance to an Ottoman Masjid... A little more knowing of decent halal restaurants would be advantages.. No parking spots at the hotel and the room was slightly crampy

The hotel was clean, but many things felt worn out and in need of repair or replacement. It was also quite noisy, which affected our comfort. A double room is definitely not suitable for three people—the extra couch was very uncomfortable. On the positive side, the breakfast was excellent, definitely 5-star quality!

You can get a better place for the price of this one. An older gentleman was very disrespectful with me. He yelled at me infront of all the staff of the restaurant for something I was asking about the restaurant (in the reception ) and he was not understanding. Whatever the reason, this is not a way to answer a client. The curtain of my window was not working. They “fixed” it twice in my 5 days in there. They don’t have blackout either, so if you want to sleep until late is pretty impossible. I feel it’s a bit far from the attractions and for me walking solo, was not a very nice street at night. You can find closer and nicer hotels to the center. I wouldn’t stay here again. I have to say that the cleaning every day was great!

Hotel Lion is comfortable and convenient. 20 minutes walk to the main shopping street and sights. The staff are friendly and helpful. A great choice of breakfasts in the cafe next door. Recommended.

I had a great 3-night stay at LION Hotel! The staff were welcoming and attentive, ensuring I felt comfortable throughout my visit. My room was clean, spacious, and well-equipped with all the essentials. The location is fantastic and easy to access. Overall, a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Great place for a short getaway to Sofia. The hotel is warm and comforting with lovely staff who are only too happy to help. Fabulous location within walking distance to most places, but the metro is close by just in case. Would highly recommend
