Lion Hotel & Restaurant in Bassetlaw

Wonderful staff, and very peaceful and quiet atmosphere

Very happy staying here. Excellent value.

There are many hotels and restaurants in Worksop, but this is the best I’ve found. All the staff, from check-in to the bar, are helpful and do everything they can to make your stay pleasant. They make sure you get a room that suits your needs, and Dan, the chef, is one of the rare chefs who can cook a rare steak perfectly without overcooking it. I highly recommend that you, dear reader, try one.

Absolutely loved the place! We only stayed one night but would definitely go back for a longer stay. The room and bathroom was spotless, the shower was great! It was a hot night but the air con kept room cool. Every member of staff was pleasant and helpful. We're not local and finding our way to the car park was a little difficult.

Rooms are really nice, comfy beds.

Very rude front of house staff. No help whatsoever when entering just basically showed away. Very poor customer service would highly recommend avoiding at all costs.

Probably the best town centre hotel option in Worksop. Rooms are OK, but dated. Bar and restaurant area is OK and spacious, but drinks selection is dire...even no Scotch Whisky available at bar...which is weird. Good parking, although not sure how secure. Breakfast was good.

Traveling for work lovely hotel friendly staff and nice room and dining room.

The room was beautiful and clean. We only had lunch, which we enjoyed. Will stay again.

Great food, lovely service, clean room :)

We Stop at the Lion Hotel 3-4 times when visiting family and absolutely love the hotel and the fabulous staff who are just lovely. The suite we stop in is superb and always immaculately clean and the food is always amazing. Can't fault this hotel !!

A quick stop for a long distance driver, excellent for me

Very happy to have stayed here, room was very nice. The receptionist was friendly and chatty! The steak dinner I had was very tasty and of a high quality. I've I lived in the area, I would definitely be a regular!

We booked The Lion Hotel for my fiancé birthday. We have stayed here a few times and always enjoyed it on previous visits. (although the food is poor standard) On arriving we waited almost 10 minutes for someone to come to reception (after ringing the bell) . A young waitress came and said “ I’m sorry this isn’t my job. I will try my best, “ she gave me a form to sign and put in my vehicle details . I filled in the form and returned it to her. A few minutes later a woman came out the back, looking like she had just woken up. She said it’s £100 and £25 in case you want breakfast. After eating here previously, we certainly didn’t want the breakfast. I explained we wouldn’t be wanting breakfast or anything else, just the room we booked. She told us it’s Policy , so would have to pay . We were then told the room we booked is unavailable and they had put us in a different room. At this point , I requested to speak to the manager. She told me “ I am the manager , we of check inn area” I asked if there was a duty manager. Soon after the waitress had requested the duty manager to come, he came and I explained what I had been told. Very abruptly he told me . That’s policy , it is what it is. At this point I said we won’t be staying. I was not prepared to pay for something I knew I didn’t want. I booked a certain room as the room meant something to us. The hotel lost £100 , we went to Premier Inn Worksop and we had a lovely evening, smooth polite check in, £30 less for the room .I recommend this modern hotel . It’s hard to believe The Lion Hotel are 4 star. I think it’s ready for an up to date rating review.

My pots were very clean, thank you Airron!

Had a meal here, service was good food was good, good selection of drinks as well, got talking to a guest and they said the rooms are nice.

So for the first time in my life Christmas dinner wasn't at home with the family & the conundrum of where to eat on the day was a good one....Someone suggested the Lion Hotel & so I made a phone call, from there the process was silky smooth, friendly & professional. I was asked for an email address so the menu could be sent out for my party to choose their courses & paid the deposit. In the fullness of time I paid the remaining balance & waited for the big day. We weren't disappointed, the day was extremely well organised, the delicious food was delivered on time & piping hot. The staff were very friendly & efficient - We were one person light because of illness & the staff 'plated up' the meal for us to take away. What more can you ask for ? The whole day was a welcome change to the usual mayhem & stress. I can't praise the Hotel & staff enough - many thanks for a very enjoyable day & I reckon we'll be returning this year.
