Reviews and Ratings
Feedback about Lion Hotel & Studio Apartments from previous guests about their experience.
the location offers easy access to local shops and the beach is a short walk. The staff were attentive to all my needs. Breakfast was standard fare and very nice.
the shower water pressure was really poor. the loo roll holder kept falling off the wall this was rather annoying.
