A reasonable distance from everything!

Strategically located the hotel is close to the central station and the historic heart of the city can be reached with a walk of about 20 minutes.
Our room was large and comfortable although with the carpet a little dated.
Breakfast in the adjacent restaurant provides the choice of only 1 option : we took the croissant stuffed with cream, amazing indeed, but we would have eaten something more.,,

Good Hotel in Sofia

It is an excellent value hotel, well located. Breakfast is in the cafeteria next door. But it is delicious and with great variety to choose from. Attentive and friendly staff.
Spacious and comfortable room.

Nice hotel & Coffee Shop

It is really nice hotel located almost in the centre of Sofia.
The rooms are clean and comfy, and the coffee shop at the ground floor (a breakfasts are served there) is an added value to the place.
It is very good place if you want to explore Sofia (metro station is just about 1 minute of walk from the hotel's door), however be aware that there isn't any parking place nearby.

I do not recommend

Room with dirty carpet, terrible smell (mouldy maybe?) coming from the bathroom. Room on the first floor noisy because in front of the hotel there is the tram stop. The location is great and breakfast - although not specified - is served in the adjacent bar (very good but not buffet style, you can choose from several options). I would not recommend to spend more than one night there.

Enjoyable stay, missed some aspects that might be important...

Loved staying here, the Hotel Lion (by Lion Bridge) is in a great position and there is a Metro station right outside! Transfer from the airport via the metro was really easy and cheap. Technically Lavov Most metro station is right outside the hotel and when you come from the airport you would change lines at Serdika station. However, Serdika station is only a short walk from the hotel so you can get off there and walk. Around the area are plenty of shops, the Lidl was really handy for snacks. There is a free breakfast at the Cafe 1920 this place is epic and while the breakfast menu is limited the food choice is fantastic and tastes amazing! I had lunch there on my last day and the food and cocktails were epic. The hotel was nice and comfortable with nice sized rooms. I had to ask for a plug for the bath, don't know if that was just my room or a way of encouraging people to shower. WiFi was non-existent during my whole stay. If this is important to you then you will be very disappointed unless you are happy paying to roam. I was on a business trip and it was very frustrating as I didn't know where to find a trustworthy signal, fortunately Cafe 1920 was there to help. Last one was check out, as I wanted to see a little of Sofia before my flight I enquired about leaving my bags. This is possible in on a shelf behind the Cafe kitchens. It may be fine, but I prefer somewhere with a locked door. I thoroughly enjoyed Sofia and would definitely go back. The historic sites were interesting and it felt safe as a city. This said the area does have some tacky outlets and the central railway station looked a bit grim.

Very good location
