About
Lion'S Castle Hotel
Lion'S Castle Hotel sits on Glinka Street, in a quiet, green part of Lviv about a 13-minute walk from the Botanical Garden of Lviv University. The hotel mixes Austrian-style architecture with the feel of a small castle, and its grounds include a garden, a sun terrace, and a courtyard that guests often mention for its resident cats.
Rooms range from Standard Rooms to a King Suite, many with high ceilings, parquet floors, and soundproofing. The on-site Lion's Castle restaurant serves breakfast (with a choice of English, American, or traditional styles) and dinner, and there is a bar and lounge. Parking is free and private, and an electric vehicle charging station is available.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
5 reasons to book- High guest satisfaction across the board — With an overall score of 9.4 out of 10 from 975 reviews, guests consistently rate service, rooms, value, and dining all above 9.5.
- On-site dining and parking — The hotel's own restaurant, Lion's Castle, serves breakfast and dinner, and free private parking is available on site — a rare combination in a city centre.
- Quiet, green residential setting — Located in a peaceful, leafy neighbourhood near a park and the Botanical Garden, yet still within a short walk or tram ride of downtown Lviv.
- Pet-friendly policy — Pets are allowed, and guests note that dogs can stay free of charge — a real plus for travellers with animals.
- Spacious, characterful rooms — Many rooms are large with high ceilings, parquet floors, and a castle-like atmosphere, which guests often mention as a highlight.
–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- A bit outside the historic centre — The hotel is in a residential area, about a 20-minute walk from downtown. Most guests find it a pleasant stroll, or use the cheap local taxis or trams.
- Facilities rated lower than other categories — While rooms and service score above 9.5, the Facilities category stands at 8.5 — the lowest of all rating areas, suggesting the shared spaces are decent but not exceptional.
- Restaurant service can be slow — A guest noted that the restaurant, though friendly and good, can sometimes be slow — worth factoring in if you're in a hurry.
- Continental breakfast may be hearty — One guest found the included continental breakfast a little heavy; if you prefer a light start, you can choose from English, American, or traditional styles instead.

9.4Verified guest“Beautiful Austrian-style building and rooms. The location was ideal, right next to the highly regarded Love & Lviv restaurant, the Lion's Castle, and a park — couldn't ask for better.”
9.4Verified guest“A hidden gem in a residential area, just a short tram ride from the centre. The rooms in the castle building are spacious with high ceilings and comfortable beds. Staff are exceptionally helpful, and the 24-hour security adds peace of mind. The included breakfast is satisfying, with freshly cooked eggs available. The setting is green and safe — a relaxing stay.”
9.4Verified guest“High level of service throughout. A luxurious and spacious room, and the staff were very friendly.”
9.4Verified guest“We loved having the on-site Lion's Castle restaurant — it meant we didn't need to go anywhere else. Parking was a major plus for us. It's a 20-minute walk to downtown, which was perfect for exploring Lviv. An excellent choice for anyone visiting Lviv, combining convenience with a great location.”
9.4Verified guest“A lovely place with a great atmosphere. Rooms are a good size for a very reasonable price, and it has a romantic feel. The staff were nice — we arrived very early after a long drive, and they kindly let us rest in the deluxe apartment. If you can splurge, go for it. The standard room in the Austrian building was also large and comfortable.”
