Stopped here for one week ant the end of March, I know it was late in the season and there were not many people staying in the hotel but the free bus service was none existent the first three days it should have been running every 20 minutes and then changed to every hour for the rest of the week...

Stopped here at the end of February on a snowboarding holiday. The hotel is quality, rooms are spacious and clean, take your shorts and flip flops as the hotel is very warm and you can just chill by the bar with a beer or coffee enjoying the Internet and relaxed atmosphere. The sauna and pool is excellent and I can... More

We visited Borovets for the first time and was surprised at the number of bars there were, we honestly didn't expect much from the resort at all having read lots of other reviews. Hotel Lion was a great find. The hotel has a spa, with a nice swimming pool. It has a comfortable lounge/bar area where you could enjoy chatting... More

Just spent a week at the Lion, and to be honest, we could not fault it. Food very good, hotel very warm, pool very nice. The hotel is about a 10 or 15 minute walk from the resort, but they run a free shuttle bus every 20 minutes or so, and they have 2 minibuses.So good , were going back... More

We stayed here for a week in March 2013. We picked the Lion as it had good ratings from other travellers and was also located a little way out of the main village (described, not incorrectly, as Benidorm-on-Ice by another reviewer!) The hotel itself is tucked away on a small quiet road in amongst trees. The reception / bar area... More

Hotel is very clean, staff are friendly and helpfull. The food is nice but not great, enough to choose from but ok at best. I went for a ski holiday, the hotel is more than warm, with a nice fire in the lounge area. The location is good with a 15 minite walk to town, there is a shuttle bus... More

I had never been skiing before - it was a promise to my husband that I would go at least once when we got married I therefore have no other experience of 'skiing hotels' to compare it to. The hotel is very clean and the staff are helpful. The hotel is very hot so be warned - and if you... More

Located over 1km from the main strip in Borovets, the Lion Hotel is within walking distance of the bars and ski lifts. As a result it is quieter than hotels closer to the centre. There is a frequent shuttle service from 8:20am until 6pm to ferry you into and out of town. Taxis seem to cost 10 Levs each way.... More

I have skied for 30 years and had never considered Bulgaria for us,but I really was impressed. Firstly I choose borovets for its low priced lift pass, meaning we could ski as we fancied rather than getting our money's worth on an expensive pass. The amount of runs were reflected in the price but what we did ski on was... More
