Breakfast was ok, cooked breakfast was a little cold but overall a good selection and the location was fine
Guest returning to there room late at night and being loud/noisy on there way to there rooms and doors slamming….recommend guests to be reminded to respect other guest that may be asleep and keep noise to a minimum, maybe have signs to remind people that all corridors are a quiet area and have soft door closures on main doors
5.0 / 5.0
good walking distance to the gondola
lion Hoyle I have stayed in a few hotels and apartments but I always prefer this, think it’s great value for money and breakfast is the best that you will find in my experience
nothing really however if you leave your shower too late in the morning it could be cooler than you would like but that’s just as everyone else has been up before me!
4.0 / 5.0
spacious room and bathroom.
Turns out there are way better deals for this hotel aside from booking. Other couple booked the same room for 30% less and they even got the dinner included and we did not! I know that there might be a price difference but this is too much.
3.5 / 5.0
The breakfast was great. The spa section was better than expected. The ski rental service folks were friendly and helpful.
The staff in the reception has a smile issue, as in there is none. Asking for a second key to a room with multiple guests was declined. The worst thing was that the hotel has decided to only accept cash. This leads to guests having to pull money from ATM:s rigged on currency rates and costs.

Good location, clean
On the way to the pool you have to pass the all reception and Bar arias in order to get to the pool. at the pool Extremely SLIPPERY TILES around the pool area and the sauna, something has to be done there ASAP, before someone get seriously hurt.

nothing to report on this
2.5 / 5.0
Some of the staff were great.
The fact that free parking is not provided is a negative experience for me. There is limited spaces that are free but only few and if there is no spot then you will need to pay 20 leva per day for parking which I personally think should not be the case for Hotel of that calibre and for the price.

The common areas, big room
Old furniture, unfriendly and rude stuff, the room had a very intense cigarette smell, they had only 1/4 of 1 toilet paper roll in the bathroom and the absolute joke: they charge for the bathrobes’ use 🤣 Very very overpriced hotel, many better options around.
4.5 / 5.0
Signs on hotel door saying to put ski boots on outside, but there was no seating outside, so we had to sit on the floor in the snow
3.0 / 5.0
Spa, room nice and clean, bar area nice
No balcony as advertised on your website, we booked this hotel because the rooms had balconies as a smoker, false advertising
Reception staff wasn’t very helpful when I had a complaint about stealing
2.0 / 5.0
Good location, poor hotel reception. Very professional massage services.
Bed for 3rd adult which we paid, was not suitable. Only a child could sleep there! DO NOT pay for extra adult as you don't get something extra. If someone has a child with him above 12-13 years old, should choose 2 rooms! Reception desk not helpful to resolve issues! SPA facilities feeling somewhat abandoned. Wifi weak in the room.
4.0 / 5.0
Excellent value for money, the hotel was clean and tidy. Staff were very helpful and there was a good atmosphere.
Only 1 key card given per room which is a little awkward
4.5 / 5.0
The Lion Hotel had an excellent breakfast selection. The hotel was modern and the rooms were warm.
There is a complimentary bus to the gondola.
The pool and health spa are a great treat after a day on the slopes.
The reception staff could be a little more friendly.
We wanted to go to the thermal spa and asked reception who didnt seem to be helpful. I could have been they were busy.
