"Very nice and clean hotel! Reception was closed but I got very detailed instructions before arrival on how to retreive my key and find the room. I was also gifted sweets and wine. I loved that the fridge was bigger than usual hotel fridges/minibar. I also got the breakfast, which was served at a nearby café, and I got my breakfast served at the table. Very cozy place and everything was tasty! Highly recommend this hotel!"

"The check-in process was super easy. We were warmly welcomed by the man at Reception upon entering the door. Appreciated their help to offer assistance with our transport to the airport.
Keyless entry was kind’a nice to have. The room we had was bright, clean and had a nice urban theme/furniture.
Loved that the location was steps away from the Plaza and great restaurants closeby. Also conveniently located as it’s close to the port, fort and museums.
Would highly recommend the Lion. "
"Rooms very comfortable. Raki was a nice touch with the snack. All staff to be commended. Did find the draft beer price high; sorry to say. Housekeeping efficient. Front desk very helpful and pleasant. Breakfasts were great variety"
"Stayed there in June 2025. Staff were fantastic. Hotel really good. Only thing I would have slightly criticised was the lack of water heating in the swimming pools. Still able to enjoy a swim, though. Otherwise, I couldn’t fault it at all."
