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. ##### Maria Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yleana Jul 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The best of 10 hotels and apts we have stayed in Greece so far.

It was nice to have codes rather than keys to enter. The sofa was super comfortable and nice to have the extra sleeping space. They gave us all the coffee and water we could drink. The recommendations for laundry and dining were excellent. ##### Kenneth Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yair Jun 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The room was clean, comfortable, and quiet.
