Comments Lion Hotel in Bansko

yvonne jamieson From England
Sent on 11 February 2011Ski holiday end of Jan 2011. Have been to the Borovets on 2 other ski holidays but stayed at a different hotel. The Lion is slightly on the edge of of the resort, but is within walking distance on the way back to the hotel as it is down hill. Taxi far is 10 levs, but be careful we were charged 15 by one taxi, so ask first. Horse drawn carriage is 10 levs. The hotel is really friendly and the staff can,t do enough for you and will enjoy the banter. Rooms are very clean and warm and away from the main area of the hotel. Swimming pool fab and really warm, but gets busy. The hotel is very hot so take cool clothes for indoors. Food was good for bulgarian standards and it was hot most of the time. Be careful with the cost of wine it's not cheap, a bottle is about 25 levs (Ј12) they do have some deals like 3 glasses for 2 for 10 levs (Ј5) which is definately worth it. these offers are on the dining table info. Down side there was a party of school children (30 in all from Bulgaria) very noisy, but everyone complained and the hotel dealt with it very quickly along with the Nielson rep and it was sorted. Snow conditions were variable as they had not had much snow before we arrived, we were lucky though it snowed quite a bit while we were there, but lots of runs not open. We were a group of 6 with 4 beginners who all had a fantastic holiday and said they would go again. -

Sent on 05 January 2011We visited the Lion Hotel Borovets in December 2010. The hotel is lovely, not too many rooms but lovely rooms and linen, facilities are fabulous (spa, treatments, swimming pool et) and food was excellent (remember that according to Bulgarian culture means they eat warm not hot food which is considered bac for you). Would definitely go back. Spent a lovely holiday here. Try even a small bit of the language and you'll really find out how warm and friendly the Bulgarians are. CMortimer -

Sent on 05 February 2010Great Hotel, stayed here in January 2010 had a few reservations from reading other reviews as im a resonably experienced boarder/skier and have been on many Ski/boarding hols, this hotel turned out to be one of the best weve stayed in, freindly staff and atmosphere in the bar, pool area a little bit cold (Towels and robes provided) and gym aircon not working, the Bar is the hottest place youve ever sat in so take some shorts and t-shirt if your planning a night in the hotel, im really picking bad bits out of what was a great week, shuttle bus to a from centre was good taking about 5 mins max, please speak to people how you would like to spoken to back ive read so many reviews about how rude people are in resort and hotels but if you are polite then you will get the same in return, yes it is Bulgaria they are more abrubt than uk but thats how it is, they are not being nasty. The food in hotel was good always hot and good range, if you think your going to get Fish fingers, bangers and mash English brekfast then stick to Magaluf, you get a good range of european cuisine which maybe if you tried it you will like it, personnaly i liked it all (Although Feta Cheese for brekfast is a bit much) . Rooms were clean maid service everyday with clean towels. Wifi in bar area. I think this is the best hotel in Borovets based on the reports we had from other people in other hotels, Hope ive helped. -

Sent on 16 November 2009Hi just got back from my stay at the Lion Hotel , Bansko. We had a bad time in the hotel, mainly because we had a man walk into the room with a key from the front desk. This was at 1.30 a.m. my wife was so frightened she could not go back to sleep, and we had to travel that day. In the morning we told the girl at the front desk, but she was not very sympathetic. -

Sent on 26 March 2009Myself and Boyfriend are just back from a skiing holiday in Bansko, and I cannot recommend it enough! We stayed in the Lion Hotel. The hotel is very close to the main street and Gondela.. a 5 minute walk. It is a modern hotel with swiming pool, sauna etc.. The rooms are of a very good standard, very clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay. The staff are friendly and helpful- most of them, a few dont have great English and keep to themselves.. but I dont think they were being rude. The food was good for a buffet.. plenty choice for everyone, however it got a bit boaring towards the end of the week. From speaking to others staying in different hotels, they were of the same opinion. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone- We will be going back again! -

Sent on 23 February 2009I have just arrived home from a week's stay at the Hotel Lion. My family and I had a wonderful week, the hotel was very friendly, clean and the food was exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble for the hotel staff, we will certainly stay at this hotel again. Great value for money. -
Graham Wright From United Kingdom
Sent on 15 February 2009Having just arrived back yesterday(14/02)I was pleasantly suprised about the standard of the hotel.The rooms were clean and adequate as we spent a lot of time sleeping inthem after being worn out skiing.The food was quite hot(we was told it would be lukewarm)and varied.Breakfast cereals were a bit limited. My daugther who is vegetarian had hardly any choice and was very poor.Hotel is nicely situated just outside the main town and the free shuttle bus is quite frequent.The rooms get too hot at night as there is no proper air con. but we overcame this by opening a window which sufficed.The swimming pool could have done to be a bit warmer .This was our first holiday in Bulgaria (6Adults)and we would recommend this Hotel. -

Sent on 19 January 2009I have been to bulgaria 3 times now skiing bansko twice. I thought the Hotel Lion was everyhting that you needed. The rooms were clean, spacious and warm. The food had quite a good choice and was warm which does not normally happen in hotels in Bulgaria. The only down side was the pool was very cold so did not use that at all. It is close enough to the gondola to walk but has frequent buses to take you. The skiing is great just dont expect much from the town. I think Bansko and the Lion hotel is great value for money

Good hotel, very reasonably prices, could have slightly better furnished rooms, food for dinner and breakfast was good. room TV was small and very few channels, only CNN and one Movie channel often in English language. Good SPA facilities.
The pickup at 7am for return to Sofia for a 12:40 flight was a little early leaving us hanging around the airport for an hour waiting for check in to open.
It would be really useful to know when quieter times are in the resorts. We are lucky enough not to be ruled by holidays and Bansko was really busy during our stay. It would have been nice to be able to choose a less busy time.
Other than that, booking through Bulgariaski was as effortless as ever.
It s my 3rd year in this hotel. food is worse year by year. shuttle to the gondola don t respect schedule or the customers, hotel now asks money for bath robe (by example)
I had a great time in Bansko. Great value for money, competent ski instructor ( thank you Velina), clean hotel and absolutely fantastic people in Bulgaria! Booking through BulgariaSki was straight forward and out rep in Bansko was very friendly and helpful ( thank you Peter). I am coming back next year!
The reservation service and the hotel were both very good. The snowboarding school at Bansko was disappointing though - as expensive as skiing but with a quarter of the classes (3*2 hr snowboarding classes instead of 12*2 hr skiing classes)
Nice hotel
Found staff really helpful as my girlfriend had recently broke her leg she was still on crutches. they helped her get around the hotel
we stay at Lion Hotel, HB for 7 days. The buffet was poor and almost identical every single day.
We have been the guests of the Lion Hotel for the past three years and one problem I have is that we always get rooms at the top floor, somewhat cramped and with no balcony. This year we held the car in the underground garage and we had to wait for quite a bit for someone at the reception to come and open the garage door and then again there was nobody to open the barrier at the exit.
