Overview: hotel description: Hotel Lion Borovets description

After a great-value ski stay with a laid-back atmosphere? Take a look at the Hotel Lion Borovets. It’s got some great extra perks, like the big spa area and games room – and it's tucked among pine trees at the edge of the resort, so it’s ideal if you prefer quieter surroundings at the end of the day.

The free hotel shuttle will take whisk you to the lifts in around 5 minutes each morning, and then it'll pick you up again when you’re done. Back at the hotel, there’s a lounge bar with comfy armchairs and an open fire where you can settle in for an après session. Or grab your swimming costume and go for some leisurely lengths in the pool. Mealtimes here are just the thing for hungry skiers, with varied buffet-style breakfasts and dinners that’ll have everyone going back for seconds. You’ll even get free beer, wine and soft drinks in the evening.

The hotel itself feels bright and modern, and the rooms are pretty big so you've got space to spread out.

Do you dream of skiing down the same mountains where Bulgarian Kings of old once hunted? Oh, right. Just us then. Well, how about a ski holiday at a snip of the price you'd pay in France or Switzerland, with exhilarating views, booming après ski and large doses of sunshine? That's more like it. Here in Borovets, you'll experience a resort steeped in tradition and culture, and of course the fantastic skiing opportunities you'd expect to find at Bulgaria's 1st ski region. You'll be welcomed with open arms ...
Young skiers will love Borokids Park, where the magic carpet helps them get to grips with the snow. Ski lessons can be booked with one of the local ski schools like Hunters and Yanakiev and the Sitnyakovo Royal Residence Ski Way’s wide, gentle slope for some cruisey confidence building. Each of the 3 ski areas offers intermediates something a little different. The Yastrebetz is home to long winding slopes, including the lengthy Yastrebetz 1, which snakes its way through pine trees back to the resort. Ventu...
Despite Bansko’s up and coming popularity, Borovets remains the party capital of Bulgarian ski resorts, with vibrant nightlife guaranteed as soon as you’re off the slopes. The ever-friendly bar hosts at places like Bobby’s and Samokov offer unbelievably cheap local beer, and once the Bulgarian Rakia shots start flowing, you’ll understand why people are back in Borovets year after year. Borovets is far from just another ‘lads holiday’ ski destination. Instead, the country’s oldest ski resort lets a li...

"Really good !"

Paul
5/ out of 5
Really good holiday, the hotel was nice, and staff were very friendly. The only slight issue was the rooms were very warm as could not adjust the radiators – but this was fixed very quickly. Surprising good, my daughter and 1 are very fussy but they catered well to our needs. Handy location, bus into town was easy. Mornings were pretty busy, so we sometimes took a taxi. Ski hire shop had a massive queue, would recommend sourcing on the day and picking a ski hire shop that is not as busy.
