This hotel was soso. Bathroom was great. AC was old and barely made cold. It is 1 km away from city center. View is average. Nothing impressive.

8/10 Very good

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.

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.

Great location
A great location in central Sofia! The room was spacious, clean and comfortable and the staff were friendly. Despite being near the Lavov bridge junction, it was relatively quiet too!

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.

Very clean. Great market two doors down. Restaurant next door provides excellent breakfast. Lavov Most metro station on M2 line is right across the street. Take M4 metro line from airport to Serdika stop. Transfer to M2 line heading for Obelya. Lavon Most is next stop. Look for exit from metro to Maria Luisa.

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.
