    cleanliness
    noise disturbance
    outdated fixtures

    spacious family rooms, modern room amenities, exceptional room cleanliness

    The bathroom fixtures need a serious upgrade!!! The noise levels from the street are disruptive, making it hard to sleep peacefully at night!!! Consider better soundproofing and maintenance in common areas!!!

    spacious room
    welcoming staff
    ventilation issues

    Our stay was enjoyable, especially with the spacious room that had a little balcony. It's just a quick 10-minute walk to the Central Bath House, perfect for a family day out. The staff were really welcoming and attentive throughout our stay, making it a memorable experience for my two sons.

    In my wife’s opinion, the bathroom needs better ventilation, which can be tough for families. Also, more family-friendly activities nearby would be great.

    spacious room
    convenient mini bar

    The location is awesome—just a short walk to the main spots, and there's a supermarket right across the street. The room was spacious with a cool view overlooking the square. Super clean, and I really appreciated the convenient mini bar.

    lack of fresh fruit

    Hotel Lion Sofia was a charming place with clean, spacious rooms and convenient access to public transport. The decor was inviting, and I appreciated the thoughtful layout that made it easy for seniors like me to navigate.

    Breakfast variety could be greatly improved.

    good breakfast

    Couples seeking a comfy stay

    The room was spacious, big enough for two, and had a small beautiful balcony that offered a nice view. The breakfast was decent too, with the team at the café next door whipping up some great choices, really made it worth waking up early.

    It wasn’t exactly a bargain, but you know what, it felt right for the experience.
