    This is nothing more than a working man's pub with rooms which is well overpriced. Every aspect is expensive I had an evening meal of Bevard Steak which I now know is the cheapest cut available being no more than flank, not tender at all. Breakfast at £12 must be the most expensive around and was mediocre at best. Warning, if you have mobility issues there is a steep staircase to manage, no lift nor chair lift.

    Not a lot.

    The carpet in our room could have been cleaner. After walking with only socks on, a lot of hair and particles stuck to the soles. We could hear loud music from the bar in our room. This is understandable as it was NYE night with live music and lots of people celebrating.

    Breakfast was tasty and generous. The service was excellent, the staff were polite and catered to our needs. For a three-star hotel, I'd say the breakfast was outstanding! The room we stayed in was quite spacious and had complimentary espresso pods. We enjoyed spending time in the sitting area, which doubled as the morning breakfast restaurant. The hotel's location is superb, a 5-minute walk to the train station to get to London and equally as close to the town center where there are restaurants, shops, and other amenities.

    The was was dirty with very large cobwebs in the corner. They definitely need more breakfast staff give yourself at least an 1 1/2 hours before you need to leave anywhere. It took 50 minutes to get breakfast 1 morning there was only 3 of us down for breakfast at 8am. The next morning went a bit quicker of only 40 minutes and people ended up leaving because of this.

    The pub itself was cosy and inviting the gentlemen who checked us in was warm and welcoming and couldn’t help us enough.

    Discount for power cuts?

    There was a power cut and we had no electricity from the time we arrived until shortly before checking out the next morning yet still expected to pay the full fee! Whilst this wasn’t the hotel’s fault we could not even use the sink or shower in our room (runs off the electrics). Not great if you’re a woman trying to do her hair and makeup before going out

    We’ve been before and it’s very convenient given the location for our needs. It’s okay as a hotel although a little tired

    Power cut but hotel not prepared or adequate compensation offered

    There was a power cut. We had no electricity and because the taps and shower in our room was electric we also had no water. We had to sit in our room in complete darkness with no way to charge our phones or to even shower after a long day in London. I know this cannot be helped but we did not feel as though staff where prepared for these sort of incidents. I had been told by another customer that there had been precious outages so unsure as to why they did not have plans for if this happened again. The power finally came back on at 4am but the lights woke us up. On checking out I spoke with the hotel receptionist as I asked for some compensation due to the fact we had no facilities all night and no electric and water. I was at first offered a refund of £25, which I disputed as this meant we still paid £90 for a hotel room with no electricity or water. Instead I was offered £35 to which I accepted begrudgingly as I understand this is not the hotels fault. However, I had to ask about getting compensation when actually I think this should have been offered to the customers ideally another night on the house I feel would have been fair. I am really disappointed that I paid £80 for a hotel room with no facilities and actually was not relaxing at all.

    The property was clean and comfortable. The location was really good.

    Room had a faulty air conditioning unit which had leaked on floor. Towels on floor and a fan to try and dry - didn't work and wasn't happy at all about this. There was an outside door which had been left open to try and get some air in, which only meant there were a load of flies in our room. Really not happy with the cost of this room v what we were given.

    Staff were lovely and helpful

    There was some construction opposite but that's not the hotels fault.

    We stayed for our wedding night. They kindly upgraded us to the superior suite for no extra charge ! We were also given two glasses of prosecco each. The bed was enormous and very comfortable, the air con a life saver in this heatwave. We got breakfast to our room which came very quickly and was hot and delicious. Thank you, red lion hotel!

    My room was half done with painters tape missing paint and other odd bits which bothered me a bit due to price I was paying to stay there. I was in room 11, 4/5 flights of stairs no lift but staff helped me to room with my bags. The Vegan option breakfast which I paid extra for breakfast for (showed in bed room menu) they didn’t have.

    The property was nice and mostly clean, most of staff friendly and helpful. The Vegan French toast was good. Aircon in room was nice, shower was nice.
