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.

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*.

Centrally Located

Great little hotel above an English Pub. Was relatively quiet after the pub closed. Great central location, friendly staff, wonderful food. No air conditioning but they did provide a couple of fans and we kept the window open so that cooled the room well enough. The beds were a bit on the firm side but overall was a great room.

Friendly place to stay

We decided on the Red Lion due to its central point with regard to the Spalding Tulip festival and were pleasantly surprised by the standard of the room and the friendliness of the staff especially the landlady who was lovely. The food served was excellent and value for money. Even though it was a busy weekend and the pub was heaving we were not disturbed by noise which we fully expected to be. Due to the festival food was not served on the Saturday night but due to the proximity to other good restaurants this was not an issue.
