Hotel Lion is a good hotel at a good price in the heart of Sofia. My rating of this hotel is as compared to other hotels in this part of the world not compared to American standards or tourist resorts...completely different rating scales!

Comfortable hotel, conveniently placed between train and bus stations and city centre. We arrived late by train (Vienna-Sofia sleeper delayed 4 hours and involving 2 unexpected changes of train!), checked in, were delighted to find fast food eatery "Oops" just over road for late night meal. Comfortable quiet room with bath (not just shower) and air-conditioning. Breakfast in hotel coffee-shop,... More

We don't want to give this hotel a bad rating because there was not anything negative about our stay. The hotel provides free breakfast, wi-fi and a wonderful view.

My daughter and I spent four nights here in July. At first I regretted reserving a hotel in this location as it’s not as gentrified as some areas closer to the city centre, however we came to really like the location and would stay here again. There is a fabulous market with the flower market section just over a block... More
