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. ##### Jordan Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jaime Jun 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Jaime Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer Oct 19, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very convenient location.

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. ##### Tanja Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Ian Aug 11, 2024 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Located right by metro stop so transport links there are perfect.

Spacious and well equipped rooms. ##### Ian Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### colin Mar 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities 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. ##### colin Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### john Apr 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/15DFF158861167F26640D2F0FD69C219B3BFE5641713877898525.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0CF8B41F937E7DFCCA6DD123B5AB737EEF8D731D1713877914629.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### john Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### md nazmul Jul 6, 2024 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Staff are not friendly.

Location is very good though.. ##### md nazmul Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Mark Nov 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service One of the hardest reviews I have had to create. Sofia airport has a metro straight to Sedona and this a short straight walk to the Lion Hotel. Alternatively you can change lines and take one stop to Lavov Most metro which is directly outside the Lion Hotel. I really liked this hotel and the free breakfast from Cafe 1920 is one of the best I have ever had. The room was spacious and clean with a fantastic coffee machine. There’s a Lidl a couple of doors away for water, snacks, beers, etc. the hotel is at the end of a long shopping street and easy walking distance of many tourist spots, such as the cathedral and serdika ruins. The area feels a little dodgy, but once I’d spent time walking around it didn’t seem so bad. Now the difficult part, I was here on business and the hotel had no internet the whole time. There was WiFi but this WiFi had no internet. So for most business users this is terrible and likely to be a huge inconvenience. The man behind the desk said this wasn’t something they knew of, but nothing seemed to be done about it. The other issue was that their secure baggage storage was a set of shelves behind the cafe. I would recommend and would love to give it top marks but as a business user the lack of internet is a big issue. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/775f2c91-3dd9-4777-b3b9-a9c5b86de3ce-1764237790068.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/09d77c1d-bcdf-4cd9-9e09-5e7fb3dc2fcf-1764237790702.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Mark Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Elate Plaza Business Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Sofia-Hotels-Elate-Plaza-Business-Hotel.h22945535.Hotel-Information) > - [Shopping Hotels in Galloway](https://www.expedia.ca/Galloway-Hotels-Shopping-Hotel.0-0-d602926-tShoppingHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Hotels in Downtown Calgary](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Calgary-Calgary-Hotels.0-n6057872-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Hotels in Castellana Sicula](https://www.expedia.ca/Castellana-Sicula-Hotels.d6144077.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Maison De luxe](https://www.expedia.ca/Mount-Vesuvius-Pompei-Hotels-Maison-De-Luxe.h35086312.Hotel-Information) > - [Eva's cozy vacation apartment with a view of the mountains, 60sqm, 1 bedroom, balcony](https://www.expedia.ca/Bad-Reichenhall-Hotels-Evas-Cozy-Vacation-Apartment-With-A-View-Of-The-Mountains.h23028074.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels in Meroo](https://www.expedia.ca/Meroo-Hotels.d553248634374354006.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Palms Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels-The-Palms-Casino-Resort.h792446.Hotel-Information) > - [Sivana Tulum](https://www.expedia.ca/Tulum-Hotels-Hotel-Sivana-Tulum.h69306030.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel St Pétersbourg Opéra & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Paris-Hotels-Hotel-Saint-Petersbourg-Opera-Spa.h6713.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels in Union Square](https://www.expedia.ca/Union-Square-San-Francisco-Hotels.0-n800129-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Summer House Backpackers, Melbourne](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Summer-House-Backpackers.h6051296.Hotel-Information) > - [4 Star Hotels in Berryville](https://www.expedia.ca/4Star-Berryville-Hotels.s40-0-d184082.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Family Hotels in Ivy Lea](https://www.expedia.ca/Ivy-Lea-Hotels-Family-Hotel.0-0-d6346989-tFamilyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Vacation Homes Panorama](https://www.expedia.ca/Panorama-Private-Vacation-Homes.d181783-aaPrivateVacationHomes.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > - [Cottages St. Martins](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Martins-Cottages.d57759-aaCottages.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > - [Lodges Marshall](https://www.expedia.ca/Marshall-Lodges.d130263-aaLodges.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > - [Sunrise Villas Halkidiki](https://www.expedia.ca/Kassandra-Hotels-Sunrise-Villas-Halkidiki.h113381136.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels near Cavendish Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Cavendish-Beach-Hotels.0-l6261119-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [SUNRISE Arabian Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Sharm-El-Sheikh-Hotels-SUNRISE-Arabian-Beach-Resort.h5526562.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > - [Etihad Airways Sydney (SYD) to Riyadh (RUH) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/etihad-airways-from-kingsford-smith-intl-to-king-khaled-intl/ey/syd/ruh) > - [Flights from Saint John (YSJ) to Schoenefeld (BER)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ysj/ber/saint-john-to-berlin) > - [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Richmond (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yvr/calgary-to-vancouver) ### Cars ### Packages > - [Nantucket Lightship Basket Museum](https://www.expedia.ca/Nantucket-Lightship-Basket-Museum-Nantucket-Town.d6287161.Vacation-Attraction) ### General
