I stayed at the Lion for 2 nights recently as part of a Balkan group tour. There's no doubt the location is the major selling point of staying here, with the Old Town, transport and a myriad of eating and drinking options only a few minutes walk away. The rooms certainly are "quirky" in a homely kind of a way... More

I'll admit that the Pansion Lion is not to my personal taste: it's too quaint and homey for me, but I'm willing to bet that plenty of people will absolutely fall in love with it from the second they get their room key. And considering the price, location, and super-friendliness of the staff there, I would be more than satisfied... More

I agree with the other reviews. Dina makes the place feel like home and her Mom is a kick! More

I stayed at the Inn for 11 nights. The best thing about it is the location, right in front of the first tram station, across the road from the beautiful Miljacka river, rubbing shoulders with Vijecnica (the city hall), less than a minute's walk to center of Bascarsija (Old Town) and a comfortable 20 minute walk to the City Center....

I had no reservations when I arrived in late August, and was quoted €30 for one person with an en suite double room, which was clean, comfortable and very handy for all the main elements of the old...

Sarajevo is chock-a-block with hostels...most of them are awful, especially the ones on main arteries where traffic pollution is a real hazard. There are also dozens of shills trying to book you a room, or, on the other hand, posh hotels for business travellers using taxpayers' money. If you want good, clean, no frills accommodation, though, it's hard to beat... More

I spent 7 days at Pansion Lion in December 2008 and could not fault it. From my moment of arrival, I was made to feel welcome by all the staff and even had a choice of rooms! This was my first time in Sarajevo and the Pansion was ideally located for exploring this magnificent city, both by tram and on... More
