Hi slw

Stayed at the Lion last January. Very impressed with the hotel. Room very clean and warm. Lobby was very cosy and modern with loads of flat panel TVs everywhere. Meal times could be a bit of a bun fight but its all good fun. We just made sure we got in early every day. The bus ran during the day every 20mins or so and dropped off and picked up outside of the Samakov hotel.

Hi slw

Stayed at the Lion last January. Very impressed with the hotel. Room very clean and warm. Lobby was very cosy and modern with loads of flat panel TVs everywhere. Meal times could be a bit of a bun fight but its all good fun. We just made sure we got in early every day. The bus ran during the day every 20mins or so and dropped off and picked up outside of the Samakov hotel. If it where a bit closer to the centre it would be perfect but I wouldnt hesitate in staying there again. We went with Crystal last Jan as well and they were ok. The initial meeting was in Francos bar and getting vouchers for hire equip and lift passes was all ok. Problems started when there was confusion over which ski depot we were using. That took a long time to sort out (wasnt Crystals fault) because BoroSport were inisiting that Crystal customers that were staying at the Lion had to go down to the ski depot at the gondola instead of the one opposite the Rila. This is despite the fact that Lion / Crystal customers had been using the Rila depot since the start of the season.

All in all despite a little niggle on the first morning it was a great holiday. We are off there again on Saturday Very Happy
