Among the standout services are free private parking, free WiFi throughout the property, a tour desk for organising outings in Val Chisone, and the possibility of bringing pets upon request.

The rooms at Hotel Lion range in size from 20 to 30 square metres and include solutions for couples, families and small groups, from the Double Room to the Deluxe Quadruple. Most accommodations have a private bathroom with shower, bidet, hairdryer and toiletries, plus a wardrobe, heating and flat-screen TV; several units offer a balcony or patio with views over the garden, the valley or the surrounding mountains.
The larger room types, such as the Quadruple and the Deluxe Triple, combine bunk beds or single beds with the large double bed to accommodate bigger families, while the Superior Double stands out for its panoramic mountain views. The Standard Triple, on the other hand, is the most basic option, with a shared bathroom, designed for those looking for an affordable stay without giving up comfortable beds.
The Double Room, 20 sqm, features a balcony overlooking the inner garden and a private bathroom with shower, bidet and toiletries. It is the coziest option in the property, designed for couples seeking a simple setting with a green view.
With the same size as the Double Room but configured with two separate single beds, this room is ideal for couples travelling without sharing a bed. It offers a private bathroom, wardrobe and views over the garden and the surrounding mountains.
The largest room in the property, at 30 sqm, combines bunk beds and a double bed to accommodate up to 4 people: the best choice for larger families sharing the same space.
Designed for three guests, this 30 sqm room combines a double bed with an additional single bed, overlooking a quiet street in the hamlet: a convenient solution for families with a child or small groups.
Larger than the standard Double Room, this 30 sqm Superior room is the only one designed exclusively for couples without children, with a direct view of the surrounding mountains from the room’s window.
The Standard Triple is Hotel Lion’s most affordable option, with a shared bathroom instead of a private one: an essential choice for those who don’t need in-room facilities and prefer to save.
