The Lion is a super hotel. Stayed there about 3 years ago and could not fault it.

re: 1st time in Borovets

been late 6 years to boro last three in the iglika and again this year, i love the position the food has been good i think the smaller hotels are better, out on the 28th of feb cant wait boro is great because if you want a couple of hpurs skiing if your tired or hung over you dont have to use a gondola both sides of the ski resort have there advantages.

There's always talk about these 'Ladies of the Night', I've been to Boro 5 times and never seen one!!

I've taken my children and they had a fab time. Loved ski school and the beauty of Borovets is that there are plenty of bars and restaurants on the nursery slopes. We could sit and have a drink at the end of a days skiing while watching the kids enjoy tobogganing.

I must add there are a few lap dancing bars within the resort and they do have interesting frontages. They are more obvious ...

Oh yes, the lion is lovely. About a 10 min walk out of town, but they have a mini bus and its quiet! The Bowling is at the Samakov hotel and if you want a bigger pool the Rila and Samakov pools are open to the public.

Have a lovely time, sure you will! Skiing

Ladies of the night Hilly!
Yeah there are these ladies but more obvious later in the evening- BUT- i must emphasise my kids have never been aware of them- they are not obvious unless you know what to look for (and no pete i havnt been there!- just more astute!)- and they never bother anyone- the strip joints ammuse my son something rotten- he says he wants me to come here for his sixteenth birthday so he can take his mates in! (and an older dad!) Confused
Hes allready tried peeping in the doors ...
