It was emergency stay and everything was just perfect

Good value with parking and breakfast included. Bar / Restaurant on site. Staff very helpful. Located close to main shopping area and petrol station nextdoor. Room facilities adequate and comfortable bed. Meal in the bar was enjoyable. Well suited to serve our overnight stay with breakfast served from 7am was great as we needed to check out by 8.30am. Would consider using again and possibly booking a Sunday lunch meal when next visiting family in the area.

Convenient location, but it is a busy noisy road. Obviously that can not be changed. Room got a little too hot in the night and was above the bar so could hear noise until late. Although we were warned in advance of an event taking place that evening. Breakfast was continental style but had to ask where it was served.There was no staff in breakfast room so assumed it was help yourself. Menu said cooked breakfast available but no one asked if we wanted that. A member of staff did pop in briefly to ask our room number but didn't enquire if we needed anything else and didn't come back.

Nice and easy to find. Right in the heart of Belper. No problem for a walk down the high Street. Parking is private behind a barrier and plenty of space. Room was nice and clean with the usual amenities. More in keeping with the three stars already given, but........ The food is on another level. 5 star level. Try out the avocado and prawn cocktail for starters and the Neopolitan sundae for pudding. Amazing. If I'm back in the area, I would not hesitate in booking again.

Room 22 was on the front and really noisy with passing traffic at night making it difficult to get to sleep.

Location good. Room 11 king room was spacious. The bed was big and comfortable. Shower was like a jet wash. This was our 2nd stay here. We booked to return for an Indian at elaichi restaurant. which we would definitely recommend just down the road. We will be back later in the year. P

Really could do with some new pillows as they was well worn with little support. I did ask for extra which they did, but the same quality. They only down side to a spacious room was we over looked the petrol station and it was open 24hrs. You only have curtains which isn't very private. Could add blinds as an option as nets are dated. The lighting wasn't great nor was the lack of plug sockets. None by the bedside either side.

Plenty of room to unpack n relax.. Staff very helpful n knowledgeable.. With a Good bar and Good food available, Makes having a good night in very pleasant, especially if you've been out n about all day. One flight of stairs when ur body is about to fold up whether ur ready or not makes good sense to me.. x

Not enough electric sockets, 3 usable in a room with A kettle, tv, fan, (it was hot) And chargers for them devices we all cart about these days.. with no usb sockets... Choose wisely...

1st of all I like staying in Belper, its down to earth and always fun. I have been staying in the Lion on and off for 10+years. The food is good and wholesome there was l8ve music this Sunday and he was good. I took my partner with me for the 1st time and she said how much she enjoyed it also. We did push the boat out and had the honeymoon suite, room 26. It is nice with lots of space a still lower cost than many small rooms at other hotels.

It was raining on Monday morning!

The staff were helpful & friendly. Beer garden was a great place to sit & enjoy the good weather. Good choice of Ale's & Spirits with some brewed locally. Didn't eat there but the menu looked good.

Room was a mix of old & new & looked ready for a refurb. We were on the road side of Hotel & the traffic noise woke us up early as the window wasn't double glazed & was a sash window that didn't close tightly. Maybe a tad overpriced for what it was..

I had been disappointed that the cooked breakfast was extra but the Continental breakfast was excellent and I enjoyed it very much. My double room was a good size as was the bathroom. There was good storage and good lighting. The bed was comfortable and room service was good. The location on the A6 is very convenient and there is adequate free parking. The menu was extensive but I did not eat at the hotel as I was visiting friends.

I liked everything but I do think that a single person occupying a double room should not have to pay the full rate as only one breakfast is taken.

Pleasant helpful staff. Continental breakfast included in the room rate, with option of paying for a cooked breakfast, currently £9.50 per person. We ate dinner at the hotel one evening and the food was good. The free parking at the back of the hotel and petrol station was useful. You approach the barrier when you arrive and it lifts up. The hotel has a code to exit the car park. No problem finding a parking space during our visit.

Room booked was a Kingsize and it was. Large and comfortable bed. Bathroom was larger than expected with a large bath. The water pressure was good so the bath filled quickly. Good selection of teas and coffees. Continental breakfast was included in the price and the selection was excellent

Limited number of electrical sockets which meant you had to unplug the TV or Fan to plug in the kettle. Room was very warm and there was an electric fan provided but needed to have the window open. Unfortunately they were refurbishing the Petrol Station next door and work started at around 8:30 until 5pm so window had to stay shut.
