    Great location but needs a refresh

    We stayed for 2 nights and the area was perfect, super close to restaurants! The room was clean, but honestly, it felt dated and a bit tired. The bathroom could use a makeover, the shower was a letdown. Breakfast was decent, but nothing fancy. Plus, the noisy extractor fan was kinda annoying.

    spacious room
    delicious breakfast
    charming atmosphere
    outdated decor

    I had a lovely stay with a huge room that had two big windows overlooking the charming streets, and the breakfast was deliciously satisfying. I really enjoyed relaxing in the cozy lounge and taking advantage of the lovely garden space. While the decor felt a bit outdated, it only added to the hotel's character. just don't expect modern amenities. 😊

    The beautiful Tudor sections and cozy log fires gave an old-world charm that instantly felt welcoming, making me feel right at home during my stay.

    Improved accessibility for senior guests would be appreciated.

    delicious tapas
    charming period features
    great local eateries
    dated decor
    bathroom upgrades

    The food scene near The Lion is top-notch! Definitely check out Casa Naranjo for some fab tapas and The Good Life for epic vegetarian dishes. my room was all about those charming period features that added a touch of history to my stay.

    Now, some of the decor and bathrooms could use a little TLC, but come on, it gives that vintage vibe! I had a bonkers good time, though it wouldn’t hurt to spruce up a bit.

    Charming historical stay with excellent breakfast

    I thoroughly enjoyed my time at this quaint hotel with its distinct historical charm and character. The breakfast was a highlight, offering an excellent selection, including freshly cooked options that were delicious. the shower pressure was an issue, making it difficult to enjoy a proper wash, which dampened the experience a bit.

    Perfect for a laid-back couple getaway

    The breakfast was great, just like any well-executed plan, strategic and satisfying. I appreciated the friendly staff, they really made you feel welcome, kind of like catching a lucky break in a tense moment.

    It wasn’t exactly cheap, but still acceptable considering the location.
