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.

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.

Very good hotel, especially given its price. The location is not terrible, but you so have a 10 minute walk to reach the central metro statiob ehich is probably the one you'll use. Staff was friendly and helpful, not always at the front desk so sometimes you have to wait a while at the lobby. Apart from that, rooms were perfectly clean and fitted the pictures on here.

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.

No a bad stay; the room had everything I needed and the staff were wonderful and very helpful. The only thing I didn’t care for was the smell emanating from the pipes in the bathroom in my room. I had to leave the bathroom window to the streets open and the bathroom door to the room closed to manage the stench. I believe the issue was not specific to my room but the pipes in the whole hotel.
