My partner and I stayed at Hotel Lion back in January for a Snowboarding holiday. After reading reviews we were quite scepticle. But I know now not to always trust what you read!! First impressions were 'wow'. Looks very nice from outside, even considering its surroundings were not particularily pleasing to the eye as it did seem like a building... more

Just got back from the Hotel Lion in Bansko and thought it was absolutely lovely. Heard a few stories about it being too warm before I went but you can turn the radiator off in your room so that's not a problem. The staff are very good and helpful (although we did get shouted at once about wearing our boots... more

This was the second time we'd been to BAnsko but the first time in this hotel. We found the room to be of excellent quality; clean and well furnished. We had a 3 bedded room so it was probably a bit larger than average but still was good. Was on the quiet side of the hotel so no disturbances. Food... more

Hotel was fine. Staff are really great, in the main very friendly. Cleaners and lobby bar staff in particular. Men waiting on tables in restaurant looked like they had come off farms in nearby villages the day before. poorly dressed, no English and surly. Evening food was fine but not very imaginative. The walls in hotel are a bit thin,... more

Stayed at the Lion Hotel for skiing. its pretty close to the centre and quick to get to the lifts. Place is generally clean and spacious. Buffett food was plentiful and good quality, rooms were very hot (slept with the balcony door open all night).. and here began the problems. Staff were completely not interested in helping with the issue,... more

The hotel lion is a very good hotel and I would definitely recomend it. The location is fine, only 5 minutes walk from centre and gondola. The rooms are excellent and the staff are very good but they're english isn't fantastic.The service is excellent everything you'd expect from a four star. The food is decent, but a bit repetitive, we... more

Just back from a brilliant holiday in Bansko. The Hotel Lion was lovely- very comfortable and convenient for skiing. As stated in other reviews, the rooms were very warm but I'd rather be too hot than too cold! We had no problems with noise from the disco bar downstairs. The breakfast was fantastic. The evening meal was alright but we... more

We booked this hotel through Crystal Ski and had a fab time and it beat spending christmas in england. The hotel is in a good location just off the main street so was nice and quiet but literally just a minutes walk to the shops and restaurants etc. For those that are skiing/boarding the gondola is a five minute walk... more

Hotel was ok, rooms were big and very hot. Meals were excellent and had loads of choice. Drinks expensive! We had 3 kids with us and they all loved it. Bansko is really one big building site and looks horrible. Que to get on the Gondla was a joke waiting up to an hour sometimes. If this place doesnt get... more
