Great Place To Stay

Fantastic little gem. Perfect for anyone visiting the AO Arena with it being a 10 minute walk away. Lovely staff, clean and tidy room with a comfortable bed.
Allan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Comfortable stay

Had a lovely stay at the Black Lion Hotel. The room was very smart and the bed was comfortable. It is quite central and east to get to from Victoria train station.
ALISON, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Well worth a stay

This is a pub/hotel just on the outskirts of the city centre, just a five minute walk to the Arndale Centre, I really do mean a 5 min walk as I have a false knee, breakfast is excellent and for £2 you can go large, there is a menu for evening which is very nice, and being a pub plenty to drink at proper prices, rooms are clean and well serviced and have all you need, I didn’t need to pack an iron, there is no air con but a big fan which was ample, shower and amenities excellent, I’d use this place again if it was just for the breakfast.

Christmas shopping trip

This is a very basic hotel. The hotel room was clean but the stairs leading up to it could have done with a good hoover.
