Red Lion

We used the hotel for a Saturday night stay. The location was good and the room was well decorated and clean. The issue we had was that there was no coffee machine/kettle in the room. Everything else was provided, teabags, cups, milk etc. we raised this at the pub bar and were told that they would sort it out. We were going to a nearby birthday party so couldn’t wait around for them to do it as they said it would take around 20 minutes. We agreed that they would leave it outside the room but when returning later that evening they had done nothing. The staff seemed to be more focused on the pub than the hotel

Stayed here as it was in the area I needed to be in for a conference. Check in was quick and efficient and the man who checked me in kindly took my suitcase up the stairs for me. I was top floor so there were quite a few stairs but by the end of the week I was a bit fitter ! The entrance to the hotel Is separate to the bar so don't need to go to the bar after checked in. The staircase is lovely with chandeliers and books and pictures the rooms are named after Kings and Queens My room the Mary room was beautiful. The beds are so comfortable with gorgeous velvet pillows. As I was under the roof and it was painted dark green with only small window it was quite dark. Nice view over the city buildings especially lit up at night. The room got cleaned regularly and was kept in good order. There is a hairdryer and iron and lots of cupboard space There is a fridge which is handy. Teas black green earl grey herbal and coffee pods milk and biscuits are provided . There are instructions for the coffee machine and its very tasty proper coffee which I enjoyed. Everything is nice quality. There is nice smelling aromatherapy shower gel shampoo conditioner hand soap and cream. The shower is a rain shower nice and hot. The wallpapers are beautiful . There is a little radio too I looked forward each night to sink into my beautiful Queens bed. I might have to buy velvet pillows now. The pub was very quiet , I wasn't there for the weekend though. There was some arguing outside the first night I think from another place. Also it shakes ! Which I realised must be from the underground underneath which is about 3 mins walk. Got used to it after the 1st night. There are shops and restaurants and cafes about 1 minute away which is convenient. Would stay again miss the bed !

I booked last minute as the hotel I'd be accommodated at was dreadful. This hotel is an absolute dream! The rooms are large and beautifully decorated with a super comfy bed. There is a fabulous waterfall shower and thoughtful additions of water, coffee machine and tea selection. I had the best sleep and was surprised at how quiet it was given the busy location. Would highly recommend and hope to stay again.
