Great hotel! The food is amazing and the variety everyday is great. Really enjoyed going to the spa after a long day of skiing, good location and close to the gondola. Rooms are spacious and staff are friendly too. I would definitely recommend!

Easy walk 7 minute to the Gondola or they have a complimentary minibus if you prefer.
The bed was comfy and rooms are very large. Only downside is the walls are very thin and you can hear people coming back at night.
The food was very tasty and varied each night. The buffet area is quite small but don't be out off, all the food is well cooked and flavourful. Each night had enough of a variety to ensure we were still enjoying the food after 7 nights. Breakfast is very good and set you up for a day on the slopes/hiking.

Warm and clean hotel with good Food and nice Spa. There are two fireplace în the lobby which are used every evening and make a special atmosphere.
The reception team is also great. We need to leave earlier and they offered to put us food packages.
Overall great value.

Only good thing about this place was the spa and location.

We got dirty towels, they had holes in them, some days our rooms weren’t serviced. The service was blunt and rude. The buffet was fine but not great for vegetarians.

The lift closed in on my friend, which would have seriously injured a child. This happened throughout the week- a serious health hazard.

Overall it’s a basic hotel close to the gondola but the service and attitude was so awful it made everything else infuriating.

Rooms are spatious enough. Food is good or very good with local and some international dishes. There are no reading lights by the bed side and due to the dim lights in the room it is difficult to read. The lobby area could benefit from a better ambiance. Internet service is BAD with wireless service not providing Internet access despite good wireless coverage. The hotel has a spa/sauna, but there are no towel robes provided in the rooms. There is a shuttle service that runs continuously from the hotel to the cabin lift and back.

Location is very good and there is a free shuttle which takes you to the Gondola in 5 minutes. There is a fair choice for breakfast and dinner although this can get quite repetitive after a while. Most of the food was very salty and bland but we expected this anyway. The rooms were adequate and the balconies on the 6th floor offered nice views of the mountains.

The service was poor and the staff seemed very cold and unfriendly. This was in line with what I read about other reviews. The pool, sauna and steam rooms were good but tended to get very busy towards the end of the day.

Well, I and 2 other friends were staying in this hotel for 2 nights. Quite an exceptional hotel, really liked it. Very polite staff, cleaned enough and its breakfast was damn delicious with a lot choices.

My 3rd visit to the Lion hotel because i enjoyed my previous stays at the establishment. It was the end of the ski season so the hotel was running itself down somewhat in readiness for closure which was understandable. Friendly and helpful staff who keep themselves to themselves - quietly waiting to offer assistance if required. Top man Angel the boss is always there to help too. Rooms basic and a little spartan but perfectly acceptable at the competitive price half board for my stay so no complaints from me. Food was OK for me and plentiful if not exactly Michelin Star. One travel tip - the TV in your room will drive you nuts if you want to watch anything meaningful in English so bring your own laptop or tablet to enjoy netflix or whatever might be your choice of viewing.

I've been there 2 months ago and it was the worst experience I had, in reception they were not friendly and polite in highlight (the receptionist LIERA) when I asked here if is possible get some ice, she just pointed her finger to the bar.
The bedroom is awful, only 1 pillow to each guest also the duvet is low quality. Once we arrived on evening and then they didn't clean the bedroom. Never ever can consider this worst hotel like 4 stars. I REALY DON'T RECOMMEND TO STAY THERE.
08.03.2023
The staff are very friendly. The food is amazing and they have plenty options.

We had a vegan friend in the group and she was only able to have the salads and some select dishes. If you are vegetarian there would be a lot more options, but unfortunately a lot of the dishes had butter / cheese in them.
