Always a great stay at the Red Lion, I had an issue with my Expedia booking and the staff were excellent in helping me sort the issue out. Was so able to get an early checkin. Great location, lots to do and the rooms were lovely.

Checked in easily on Saturday afternoon. And had a drink in the bar with our dogs. Rooms comfortable, but very warm - equipped with fans. Breakfast very basic (£5) but sufficient for me. Very friendly, attentive staff. Great place - allowing dogs to stay for free. Would definitely stay again.

Clean room, looks newly refurbished, comfortable bed, air con was fantastic during a heatwave. Friendly staff, quick check in, good breakfast. Best hotel room out of a few I've tried in this area. Despite being above a pub was very quiet.

The room was lovely and clean. The bathroom was clean but had a smell of urine. The shower was difficult to get a good temperature, so it was an extremely hot wash. I was in room 6, the radiator kept going crazy, in the sense it was loud, like the motor was malfunctioning. But due to the company I had, I was extremely happy and would go back again. Overall happy.

I love staying here, it’s my go to place. I was a little disappointed this time, stayed in room 22 on second floor. Room was clean, but the window was not able to stay open, so it was unbearably hot in the room, and just got hotter at night. It could do with at least two more plug sockets, as two were taken up by the fans we had to plug in and have on continuously. The bed was a little firm for our preference, but others may prefer that. Staff were lovely and helpful as usual. I will be returning but maybe ask not to have that room again. And I’d like to try the breakfast next time too… always smells amazing.

Good twin room which was very spacious. Good facilities including tea and coffee. Very good value for money. Right in centre of Spalding so walkable to all shops and other bars and eateries. The only negatives for me were the room was quite hot but the window couldn’t be opened and the bed was a bit in the hard side for me - but that’s down to my personal choice. Otherwise all good.

This is a classic British pub which mainly caters for locals but also has guests but I have to say the staff are particularly friendly. The bar is good fun, relaxing and there’s plenty of conversation and gossip etc. the rooms upstairs are general ok, really good beds and clean enough but just a little bit dated and needing attention. Not a deal breaker, perfect for my working week but as a couple or family you might be a tad disappointed. I do like the breakfast idea of ordering the. Night before and also having a ‘to go’ option also again perfect for workers. Parking is fine in a nearby car park just round the corner so convenient and it’s cheap overnight.

We stayed here for 7 nights as it was close to my mother's for visiting. Hotel is very clean and spells great. Every morning they were doing a through cleaning of the pub area, stairs and rooms. It has recently been remodeled so the rooms had updated sockets for your phone charges. It was warm - no AC here and also good to know, no lift. The beds were comfortable and it was quiet at night. Kitchen staff and bar staff were all very friendly! It siad 2 stars on Expedia but I'd definitely say it was at least a 3*.
