The Golden Lion Hotel

I had lunch with family after visiting the Roman museum. We hadn't booked but we needed to on the Sunday lunchtime. But the staff quickly cleared a table for us while we waited. The food was great and plentiful and the staff were friendly. The veg was al dente which didn't suit my aging mother but I had no complaints only compliments.

The room was excellent and the breakfast was lovely, evening meal was okay Only thing wrong was no lift for my partner who has trouble with her walking and we were on the 2nd floor

Very thin walls and ceilings I was kept awake all night but the room upstairs leaving there tv on, could here every time someone coughed or used the bathroom, will not stay there ever again as no compensation was offered

Been to the golden lion a few times with the grandchildren. The food was OK, but now last week it seems to be getting worse ,gransons, meal looked as tho it had been threw on the plate ,my sandwich wasn't even cut in to nice triangles ,presentation was not good ,my chips were cold as tho they been left on the side . Only one other table was occupied when we were in . I wouldn't like to be there when it's really busy .not sure we will go back any more

Redeemed a reward night and was happy with that. A very warm welcome and quick check in. Room was adequate and clean with great views over the harbour. The Cumbrian breakfast was sufficient, attentively hosted by the staff. Totally enjoyed the 1 night stay in Maryport, and loved the warm welcome from the locals. As for the price for a 1 night stay without a reward night, I'l leave that up to others.

The hotel was welcoming and the food excellent. However, the room hospitality was poor. The basic toiletries were Lidl Anti-bacterial pump dispensor in the shower and sink. No shampoo or shower gel. No evidence of box tissues and the towels of poor quality and rough texture. We returned to an un-made bed on the second day. The windows would neither open or shut with paint holding them in place. In cold weather this would prove draughty with a sealed open gap in the bathroom. The hairdryer did not work.

Went in for food only, food was of a very high standard, very tasty, excellent portion sizes, for a very reasonable price, desert was delicious, service… couldn’t fault, very prompt, and friendly, excellent meal, would definitely recommend! Many thanks

Great hotel ,perfect food and brilliant staff

When we came to check in the receptionist apologised and told us that there was a wedding party going on but said the music should begin to stop at 11. The music (and then the sound of people packing up the wedding) lasted until one in the morning and made sleep impossible. On top of this the bed itself was really solid and you can feel the mattress springs, as mentioned in other reviews. We put our duvet on top and asked if they could provide any extra bedding. While the receptionist was able to give us a duvet cover there was no duvet in it so it was really cold. The paint on the walls was also damp and peeling. We had phoned ahead to ask if they could provide us with an iron. The iron they gave us literally leaked water out of the power cord. The second iron didn’t work at all. By the time we got to third iron we were very short on time. We visited so we could go to a wedding so while this might seem small, it was really stressful. They did allow us to change rooms that night (but without an apology) and the next room was adequate and basic. We do not normally leave reviews, particularly for small businesses. The reason we are here is that they have flat out refused to apologise or offer us a partial refund. We tried to talk to them both at the hotel and then through ********** in the hope that they had made a mistake, would read the above points and acknowledge that it wasn’t acceptable.
