The food and staff were very good. We had a delicious dinner in the evening. It was a very busy and lively pub but not causing any noise issues as a lot of the rooms are at the back in the extended area. There was plenty of parking too. However, the bed was very uncomfortable. The mattresses were very worn out, with dips in the middle and you could feel the springs. I think i would have slept better on a plank of wood. It is good value for money though and Belper town is quite noise with plenty of independent bars and shops.

Favourite hotel but....

We love this hotel. Friendly staff, great location, bar and restaurant excellent. The basic rooms are a bit small but the deluxe are really good. This time we stayed in the suite. The room never got very warm and the decor is tired. Please consider giving your main room a face-lift!

A little bit disappointed

The breakfast was very disappointing. It was supposed to be a continental breakfast. When we arrived 30mins before breakfast finished there was no fruit and 1 slice of cheese, one croissants and the drinks were cold.We asked if they we going to replenish it. They only brought out some fruit and one type of cheese. With a continental breakfast you do usually expect a range of cooked meat and cheeses aswell as youghurt and pastries and a choice of hot tea and coffee.

The Lion is a much extended old coaching inn, with all the ongoing maintenance issues and rambling layout that implies. Its strongpoint is its location and car parking. Rooms are generously sized, and staff chirpy, though not necessarily blessed with the training and discipline you might expect in a corporate hotel chain. The included continental breakfast is very acceptable, and if you want something cooked, it is not expensive. The Lion is right nextdoor to a Jet filling station, which is not very picturesque, and rooms at the front are over the bar, and next to the A6, so some noise. Take care if rooms at the back are offered, as some are over the hospitality areas where wedding receptions and private parties are often held at the weekend. A rousing chorus of "It's raining men" can be a little trying if you weren't invited to the party, and want to be asleep before midnight.... But it works for us, so we'll be back.....
