Answer:

Room 1.

Explanation:

The note on room 3 is true. So The notes on room 1 and room 2 are untrue.

If the lion is in room 1 that would make the note on room 1 untrue - so both room 1 and room 2 notes would be untrue.

Also if the lion is in room 2 that would make both room 1 and room 2 notes true.

So the lion must be in room 1.
