OkayOct 20154.5
Subpar spot, can do better
Very spacious room. Good fixtures in the bathroom.
Stains on the wall, rank smell in the bathroom, very soft beds. Our window looked directly into a slummy apartment across the alley. Wifi only worked in the lobby, but not the rooms very well. Also the location is not as good as it appears, the nicer area of town is definitely to the south nearer the cathedral church and Vitosha Street. The staff was very indifferent as well.

Hotel has nice confortable rooms. You could even think it is 4 stars
Paid Parking place some 10 min walk away, not very nice.

GoodOct 20106.3
The bedroom was excellent and the facilities in the room...particularly the bath were lovely. It was nice after a day out to come back and relax. The staff were extremely helpful.
I'm afraid I was not happy with the breakfast that was provided. I was led to believe that the breakfast would be far more substantial. The continental breakfast I was offered was a a heated up 7-day chocolate croissant, not the selection of breads that was offered on the booking form.

GoodOct 20107.6
The room was lovely spacious and clean
The only complaint was the hotel was very noisy it is on a very busy road. And just opposite they are making a fly over so it was extra noisy as they were blasting under the road all through the night It was a good job we only had booked for 1 night

Reviews about Hotel Lion Sofia
“Breakfast is ok,location great.”
“Location reception staff comfortable room”
“Really nice big room and a big comfortable bed. I wondered if I'd been lucky and got a better room but I think all the rooms are spacious from reading other reviews. The location is one of the best things about this hotel. It's close to the bus stop and all the shops and attractions are close by. The staff I interacted with were friendly and professional. Top tip: the minibar isn't as expensive as some other places I've stayed, so a midnight snack won't break the bank.”
“About everything the staff is really nice and the breakfast is amazing , rooms were clean , the rooms are big in real life and the place is just amazing would totally stay there again”
“Large room, great decor and furnishings, nice helpful friendly staff, comfortable bed, nice soft sheets and good towels. Good selection in minibar, nice toiletries, very thoughtful selection. All round an excellent hotel. Breakfast was decent and good choice. Location lovely due to lion Bridge, nice balconies, new double glazed high quality windows. Aircon worked well, plenty of hot water. All praise for this hotel, well done The Lion Hotel, a great place to stay in Sofia. Cheers.”
