Cheap but good quality, spacious, clean and brilliant location!

Our first experience of a dog friendly hotel and the staff couldn’t have been any nicer or helpful which totally made the difference and would 100% go again. Location is perfect to explore the town and surrounded by dozens of bars cafes and restaurants so you can just take your pick.

It is a very old hotel , and I expected lots of creakiness but it was fine , a really interesting building in the town centre with a car park . The only downside was the lack of breakfast ( no food available at all ) but it is surrounded by food outlets and pubs

Absolutely shocking place to stay... Paid for bed and breakfast but no breakfast offered or given with no reason. I would like a full refund.

The worst hotel I have ever stayed in. Dirty and I cannot believe a hotel that doesn’t serve breakfast, restaurant closed and no beer. It is awful and I cannot imagine any reason for anyone to stay here.

This hotel was once very grand I’m sure but it’s a shame to see it in this condition. Rooms very tired, bathrooms that make you want to not undress, so old it is impossible to keep clean. It would be great to see someone give this hotel a complete remodel and make it fitting of its history. The staff however were lovely and couldn’t do more, they like the building deserve better!

Booked bed and breakfast, but when checking in we were told breakfast was not available receptionist said Hotels.com should have informed us, not happy as breakfast being included in price was main reason why I booked the rooms

We had a fantastic stay at The Lion Hotel. From check in to when we departed all staff were welcoming & friendly. Room was great-clean and bed was so comfortable. Ideally situated & perfect for us for where we like to eat. We will definitely be returning and recommending to our friends and family. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

What a great hotel in a good location. The building is full of character with original build. So good to stay in hotel with a real history instead of sterile new builds. Reception staff and dining room staff were good and the breakfast was excellent. Would recommend this hotel for its quirkiness and original features.

We had a very nice stay at the Lion. It's a fascinating old building in a great central location. The rooms are basic, but very clean and the bed was comfortable with great pillows. The breakfast was very good. The hotel is a little frayed around the edges, but that adds to the character! The staff were all lovely and very helpful.

We were disappointed. To say they got all that money after the refugees had been there we thought it would be really nice. But there wasn't much difference to the ladt time we were there 3 year's ago.chips in bath, shawer dripped all the time we were there no maintenance all week end .They told use when we got there no breakfast anymore. You also have to pay parking .The carpets in hallway still threadbare. Talking to othere ex army who allso started there said they wouldn't go again next year.

The hotel is quite run down and tired. The kitchen was closed and with looking at reviews elsewhere this has been the case for quite some time so there was no breakfast regardless of whether it had been paid for. In addition while I stayed it was 30°c outside and the radiator in the bathroom was turned on giving off huge amounts of heat into the room. This couldn't be turned off as it's connected to the hot water. In all, I had a horrid stay with the extra heat, lack of paid for food and although the room hald been cleaned there was stains on the carpets and a broken shower nozzle. I would not stay here again, I advise you not too either.
