The Lion's Residence

The guesthouse is tucked into the side of the hill in Veliko Tarnovo's most famous street yet it's so peaceful. The view from the balcony is wonderful. The bed is comfortable. The whole place is spotlessly clean. The wifi and AC worked well. The host was very communicative and helpful before I arrived and then helped me with a taxi booking for my onward trip. Highly recommend.

It wasn't a problem for me but be aware that it's a short walk down stairs and some steep cobbled streets to reach the house as cabs can't access the st.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Lion's Residence in Veliko Tarnovo. The Lion's Residence is a historic two-storey guest house on a cobblestone street, slightly removed from the main area but still walkable for guests with reasonable fitness. Recently renovated with a modern bathroom, it retains its medieval character and charming quirks. The standout feature is the beautiful balcony, which offers sweeping valley views and a relaxing place to sit at any time of day. Guests also have access to a shared kitchen with the basics needed for whipping up breakfast or coffee. Several good restaurants are nearby, and the main street, with more restaurants and bars, is only a short walk away. The main attractions are also easy to reach. Please note that taxis cannot drive down the road, so guests arriving without a car will need to walk about 400 metres to the guest house with their luggage. Lora communicated clearly before our arrival, and the spacious apartment had everything we needed for a comfortable three-night stay. She went above and beyond by helping us book a taxi and sharing many suggestions for places to visit and eat. Highly recommended.

The location was great, the apartment was very clean, and communication with the host was excellent. The host gave us recommendations on where to eat, what to do, and where to find a parking space, which we were able to find without any issues.

The floor was a little noisy and the bathroom quite small, but however it wasn’t a big issue for us.
