My immediate impression of the hotel was very favourable. The Golden Lion is an olde-worldy hotel on the main street of Northallerton, right opposite the famous Betty's tea rooms. There is plenty of parking, both on the street outside and in the hotel car park behind the hotel. I was welcomed very professionally at reception and the open fires in... More

This is a very old hotel so the layout wont suit some guests. There is no lift and some steep stairs but that helps give it character. The public rooms downstairs have all been refurbished. It has a multitude of nooks and crannies where you can sit for a drink or to work or read. There are also at least... More

Beautiful old property with a good reputation which is soon going to be worthless unless some big improvements are made. The staff were very friendly and helpful, but the room was a big disappointment. The hotel bills itself as non-smoking, as indeed all public places are in England nowadays, but my corridor and indeed even the room smelt appallingly of... More

This place is an absolute joke, we stayed for a wedding this summer and being related to the happy couple we expected a fantastic stay. but sadly it was anything but. The management of the hotel is completely lacking and the food poor, the service is by 15 year olds who sadly are being led by the blind. The wedding... More

Stayed here for one night. Staff were all very friendy. The room was small but acceptable. Maybe a little dusty as felt a bit sniffly in the morning. I think £95 for one night B&B is a bit pricey for what it is. Breakfast was good, full english or other options available. Right on the high street s a handy... More

We stayed for one night in May on a business trip. The hotel is a typical pub-come-hotel. Having said that the rooms were huge, comfortable and since we were at the top at the back, extremely quiet. I had an excellent night's sleep. Room was very clean. The hotel is right in the middle of the high street and well... More

I went up from South East for a training session the next day, after travelling via train for 5 hours and changing 3 times, as you can understand we were tired to stay the least. We checked in to a lovely receptionist with a welcoming smile. She explained the procedures and we were given our room keys and told us... More

i had a lovely nights stay in this oldy worldy stylish hotel. the staff were very nice and accomodating. the highlight was the food in the restaurant. The dishes were well presented and delightful, we had a three course meal for £14.95each with plenty of choice. The chef delivered a real taste experience , the food was five star. The... More

my husband and i stayed here when i came to visit family in northallerton. we stayed here because we like decent and clean hotels. we chose wrong! looks can be deceiving as all looks well from the outside and in the bar but the room was a joke. everything was dirty. there was a huge black area on the wall...
