Chose this hotel based on positive reviews. The hotel itself is nice, cozy, warm, comfortable. Food for an amateur, if a person eats everything without going over, he will like it. For me, food is a 4 out of 10. The choice of food is small. Day fed normally 2 not very much. I didn't like the food. The shuttle to the ski lifts runs in 30 minutes.

In a small minibus stuffs people like in a city minibus. It was also such that we waited 1.5 hours until they pick us up, there was no car. There are a lot of people and you can pick it up in 15 minutes. The hotel has a free swimming pool and sauna. They wrote that parking is free, but in reality it is paid. There is nothing near the hotel. It stands in the forest. There are sooooo many children in the hotel, I didn’t like it, I already thought that I was in a children’s camp, it’s very noisy. Children yell, run and ride the elevator in the hotel like on an attraction))))))))) Couples with children will probably like it))) As for young people and just couples who want to have a normal time, I DO NOT recommend. The staff is very pleasant and decent, changed the bed and towels at will, cleaned every day. In general Bulgarians are very nice people!! !

Lion is not the same.... I am writing this review when I was still at the hotel, after a week of stay. The hotel did not justify itself. Sadness. A couple of years ago, everything was on the level... now: Reception - the manager of the reception has a complete lack of emotions, with it for any request. It reminded me of the soviet service.

I am writing this review when I was still at the hotel, after a week of stay. The hotel did not justify itself. Sadness. A couple of years ago, everything was on the level... now:
Reception - the manager of the reception has a complete lack of emotions, with it for any request. It reminded me of the soviet service.
Corridors - screams from morning (7 hours) until late. The hotel moved from a family status to a student hostel.
Nutrition is the most important thing. Found mold in my dinner cake tonight. Here you have 4 stars Lion...
The rest is unnecessary to comment... if the hotel saves on food at the expense of the health of the guests, then yes - the choice is yours, future guests... if future.

One of the highest quality 4-star hotels in Bansko in my opinion. Everything in Lyon looks solid - both externally and internally. Spacious rooms in a classic style - in brown and beige tones, good wooden furniture. Everything about this hotel exudes comfort and quality. A few minutes to the ski lifts (free transportation).

A few minutes to the ski lifts (free transportation). 20 minutes walk to the center.

We were in Lyon in February 2013 with a large company (20 people). Settled normally, quickly. The receptionists are not very polite. The rooms are not bad, the apartments are large, but many of our friends could not sleep half the night because of the noise from KARAOKE. Food (took HB) so-so. You won't go hungry, but there is no variety.

You won't go hungry, but there is no variety. In the evening, one kind of meat, and that is not always tasty. No dessert. Fruits are normal - oranges, kiwi. Spa is ok. The pool is big. BUT robes only for money. There are always a lot of people in the lobby, smoky, very noisy. The location of the hotel is very good, close to the main shopping street, not far from the ski lift. Bus transfer ran regularly.

We went on New Year's holidays. I really liked the hotel, a lot of young people, a large swimming pool, clean and comfortable rooms. The food was excellent, varied and tasty - they took breakfast and dinner. Delicious fresh baked goods! The only thing that was inconvenient was that there really are no drinks at dinner, everything is paid (expensive) and you can’t bring your own, but we coped with this (ordered 1 glass of wine, and drank a bottle of our natihar))) Where ours didn’t disappear! ))))) The waiters are very fast, it pleased.

The transfer to the hill went regularly, there were absolutely no problems. The New Year's program is boring, but then a disco began in the bar and all the youth danced until the morning. I recommend the hotel! Vacation was great! We didn't regret it!

Planned to go skiing in January. We went through many offers, settled on Bulgaria, chose the resort of Bansko, because we are not beginner skiers and the slopes seemed more serious to us. We went through a lot of hotels, got completely confused, quarreled, decided to go on a tour. Firm . , We were lucky and the first dialed number belonged to Pilgrim-M.

Planned to go skiing in January.

Even during a telephone conversation, everything became clearer. When we came to the office, we made sure that all the time that we spent on the Internet (not much, not less than 3 weeks) turned out to be in vain and after 15 minutes. We decided that we are choosing the Lyon 4 * hotel. Upon arrival, everything coincided with the promises given in the agency. Excellent service, cuisine, wonderful / Spa
We are satisfied and thank you very much for the staff. f. Pilgrim-M. You guys are the best. Keep it up!

Rested in Lyon from 16 to 22 January 2011. Tour operator ICS, in Sofia and at the resort we were supervised by almatour. It seems that these tour operators are working in cooperation. There were no problems with the tour operator. We received the documents at the scoreboard in Sheremetyevo, terminal F, and passed the registration.

Rested in Lyon from 16 to 22 January 2011. Tour operator ICS, in Sofia and at the resort we were supervised by almatour. It seems that these tour operators are working in cooperation. There were no problems with the tour operator. We received the documents at the scoreboard in Sheremetyevo, terminal F, and passed the registration. The skis were weighed, but it is not clear why, like the overweight was still not revealed in anyone. Bulgaria Air in flight gave a sandwich and drinks to choose from (juices, lemonade, red or white wine), then tea or coffee. We flew 2.5 hours, Airbus A319. A cramped plane, but flew great. Skis and luggage flew without damage.
It is 160 km to Bansko, but the road is difficult, passes through the mountains, visibility is poor. We left the airport around 22.30, arrived at the hotel at three o'clock in the morning. Lion and Perun were the last ones on the bus route (the big MAN, not new anymore).
The room was given on the second floor, with a balcony overlooking the mountains. By default, they give one electronic key per room, but you can ask to make it for each vacationer. We were immediately sent to the dining room for dry rations, since we were naturally late for dinner. Breakfast and dinner - buffet. Everything was delicious. They ate so much that no one even remembered dinner. For dinner, they did not give any of the drinks for free, not even boiling water. The waiter immediately flew in with a mocking question: "What will you drink? ". Prices for wine are three times higher than in stores, tea - 3 leva = 65 rubles. We got out by the fact that all the food was "washed down" with tangerines and oranges, very tasty !! ! They say that 5* Kempinsky is the same, but tea costs 8 leva.
Not immediately able to set up Wi-fi internet. The girls at the reception couldn't help. For the first two days, the laptop did not receive DNS and the gateway automatically, I had to get the settings from one Englishman, who apparently solved this problem earlier. Then it seemed to be fixed, and the Internet worked in the room. Wi-fi is free, Skype and ICQ made it possible to avoid communication costs.
A minibus goes to the ski lift every 15 minutes, there are two in total. Drive a couple of minutes. You can put on shoes in the storage and drying room. It is located to the right of the main entrance and has its own door.
For the first time in 10 years, there was no snow in Bansko at that time. During the day the temperature reached 10 degrees Celsius, it was sunny. Snow cannons worked at night and sometimes during the day. The plateau was closed. In places by lunchtime, there was ice on the central trajectories of the tracks, which led to a large number of falls. In general, traumatologists on snow motorcycles did not mess around there.
However, it was possible to ride. As a beginner, I liked the first blue track 7 km long from Benderishkina glade to Bansko and the 6th one from the Kolarski ski lift. But from Bansko there is only a gondola lift, a lot of time is lost in it (20-25 minutes).
Around 13-14 o'clock we finished skiing, at this time the ski pass can be sold to those who come to ride after dinner for 20-25 lev.
Pool and sauna in Lyon without complaints.
Equipment prices in Bansko turned out to be lower than in Russia. Everything can be bought there.
Back from the hotel left at 8.40, an hour gathered people from other hotels. We arrived at the airport around 13:00. Skis were not weighed, registered and asked to be taken to the tape for oversized cargo. The flight went without problems.

We went on New Year's Eve with a large group. The rooms are excellent, comfortable, cozy, everything is there, if you get caught with a balcony, it’s generally fine! Swimming pool, baths, massage. Not far from the ski lift. Storage for inventory. Everything is there, but the catch is that instead of serving, the staff can only cheat.

Not far from the ski lift. Storage for inventory. Everything is there, but the catch is that instead of serving, the staff can only cheat. So, for example, they tried not to let us have dinner for three days in a row, explaining this by the fact that we did not pay, only by the fourth day they "guessed" what had happened confusion with the agency, even though there were fights with swearing every day. Massage is great, but it’s bad luck, you can’t pay in advance, because when you leave it will turn out to be unpaid! And they won’t give you a passport until you pay. Nobody is afraid of the police, because it takes a long time to go, and the plane will fly away without tourists and everyone understands this . And the pool and the sauna are on different floors, the steps turn into a skating rink in the evening, it’s easy to break a leg (checked) Well, the New Year’s table... In any mechan for 50% of this money, you will be licked with food and drinks, but here we are left hungry! ! ! and drank what they brought with them !! ! Well, just a boorish attitude towards all vacationers is disgusting.
