We ended our month long trip in Europe with 4 day at the Black Lion Pub. The pub itself is a beautifully restored the pics don't lie and the vibe was very family orientated and with 3 fireplaces very cozy The room we had was the best we stayed in the whole trip. Spacious, quiet and the cleanest hotel room I've ever stayed in ever. Rooms are brand new and the shower with a rain faucet and a hand held was great. Zero pub noise, street is noisy but shut windows ,silence. We ate the Sunday roast which was very good but the place makes bomb Indian food, did that twice.Huge beer selection and they make a great Gin and Tonic. The area is a working class neighborhood, Im sure perfectly safe but it"s not Knotting hill. We Ubered to all the sites no problem. The staff was top notch as no request was denied. We will definitely be coming back someday when we return to London. Highly recommend!

Me and 3 friends stayed here for 1 night for the Taylor Swift concert on 15th August, and we would 100% stay here again. The pub and rooms are so beautiful, and the staff were so friendly and helpful. Check in was for 3pm but we were advised we could drop our bags off earlier if needed, so we headed there at around 12pm expecting to just drop our bags off. One of our two rooms was already ready for us, so we were shown to our room by a really lovely man who gave us all the info we needed and left us to sort our things out in our room. We then left to go to lunch, and after having explained that it was one of our birthdays, we returned to the room to find a happy birthday card and some flowers!! It was so thoughtful and a really lovely touch. The rooms are so beautiful, we had a Dyson fan in the room and everything was super clean and fresh. The bathroom was really nice too and had a waterfall shower with separate shower head. It was easy to get in and out with our key cards so had no issue getting back after the concert. The train station is a 5 min walk away and took us 10 mins on the tube to get to Wembley so perfect location. We slept really well and breakfast was also really good, everything was really fresh and they have a great selection. They also have a fridge in the hallway which stocks free bottles of water which we thought was great. All in all we went away so pleased with our stay and all said we would definitely stay again. Thank you so much for a lovely stay and we will definitely be back again! :)

Myself and my partner stayed here for a weekend in August 2024 and it is a beautiful place to stay, the Black Lion rooms were amazing and nothing was too much trouble for the staff there, we had a warm welcome from the start and we were taken to our room personally which you do not see much anymore, they usually just had you a key card, this was a nice touch. We had to leave promptly on the Sunday morning and the staff insisted we take some breakfast and bagged this for us. Such a friendly place to stay, will definitely stay there again 100%

I booked this with Tesco Clubcard vouchers, and I'm so glad I did. What a find! Firstly, less than a 15 minute walk from 2 tube stations ( different lines) and an Overground station, so really easy access. Then, the building is stunning, from both outside and in. Our room was large, superbly clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. Breakfast in the morning exceeded expectations - a continental breakfast with a good range of options. The staff were lovely - I can't say enough nice things about the place!

They also had nice details like free water in the hallway for all guests to share, which was great on hot days. Breakfast was superb and the staff were welcoming each morning. It also has a chilled and pleasant vibe with a great beer selection. The pub is well placed and has great travel options via underground and overground. Only 14mins into central London via underground link nearby.

The Black Lion receives superlative reviews and to be honest I was a bit skeptical. However we found it to be all we hoped. Big, airy and beautifully decorated rooms, the cleanest accommodation I’ve ever stayed in. The whole place is beautiful and well maintained, with all the facilities you could want. Staff are kind and helpful. Breakfast was a good continental choice, including breads, cereal, fruit and yogurt. The location is a busy, cosmopolitan main road with many shops and food outlets; it’s therefore not a quiet neighbourhood, but there is a pleasant and well-kept park adjacent. Easy access for bus and train/tube into the city. Really very good indeed and I’d like to visit again.

The hotel is just great! It's beautifully decorated and the pub attached to the hotel looks fantastic too. Everything is very clean and great attention is paid to hygiene, for example at breakfast. Our room had a Dyson air conditioner, which was worth its weight in gold for the warm days. We booked the smallest room, which was big enough for us. There was enough space to lay our suitcases open and still be able to move around freely. There was free water that you could take to your room at any time. The staff was friendly and helpful at all times. The Indian food in the pub was so delicious that we tried the menu there every evening instead of eating elsewhere. The only negative point that the hotel can't help with is the location. The hotel itself is a bit out of the way, but that wasn't a problem for us as it has great connections to the bus/subway/overground. The bus stop for the center is right in front of the front door. However, we didn't feel quite as safe in this area. But supermarkets, restaurants etc. are also within walking distance, so all in all it's okay. We were really very enthusiastic and satisfied with the hotel and can definitely recommend it.

What a find!!!! This place is gorgeous, great, friendly staff and such a fab bar with an amazing selection of Belgian beers, real ales and keg beer. We stayed the night and our room was beautiful, immaculately clean and the free bottled water in the fridge outside was a nice touch. We booked a table in the restaurant and was not disappointed the food was full of flavours with some great, unusual combos. We finished the evening off with a couple of espresso martinis which were top notch. We wished that we had stayed her on our 1st night in London as we were at the AC/DC gig at Wembley and this would of been better located with the transport links. We will definitely return we couldn't fault anything

Guest House is located above the pub and conveniently located via public transit, tube, overground, and city buses. 40 minutes from LHR. Historic location with attention to details. French croissants directly from France(Baked in house) for breakfast. Amazing staff and Guest House Manager runs an immaculate establishment. Amazing comfortable rooms with elegance. ****Note when booking: There are no parking at the premises, but there might be street parking available couple of blocks away. Do your research if you are planning on driving. There are no elevators since this premise was built in the 1800s. But it's a history lesson to be a part of. Well worth the money! This is our second time staying in this guest house! Amazing place!!

Great location and very good area. 20 minutes by bus from Marble Arch. Bus leaves right in front of the front door. Subway and tram are 10 minutes walk. You live in a very nice house in really great rooms. The bathroom is even equipped with Rituals soap, shampoo and shower gel. Water is available for free in a refrigerator. The staff is very accommodating and nice. Everything was great. Yes, the rooms are a bit narrow and small but completely sufficient for sleeping. The hotel is right on the street, there is traffic noise at night, but it didn't bother you. The breakfast buffet is small but nice, and it was enough. Eggs and some vegetables would have made it perfect ;) at that price, you can really extend the breakfast a bit.

I honestly cant fault this hotel at all. It is an absolutely stunning grade 2 listed building. Usually in older buildings despite best efforts old walls and fixtures begin to look worn but the rooms are honestly immaculate, nice and crips walls and tiles and so so clean. Downstairs the pub and restaurant is beautifully decorated but most of all the service has been second to none. Any special requests we’ve had have been dealt. Ive not had to wait to be seen even once. Everyone is polite and even the smallest details of service such as acknowledging us and saying hello if we walk through, carrying our cases, turning the teapot handle to me to use. We are celebrating a birthday so had a gorgeous note left in the room with fresh flowers. The soaps in the room are all rituals which is lovely. Bedding is fresh, crisp and white. No lose flitting or irritating little details. We still have another night but so far we are so impressed and can tell so much thought and effort has gone into everything. The area outside isnt amazing but is very easy for us to get quickly to anywhere we want to see in london with the tube being a 7 minuite walk away.

We have stayed at the Black Lion twice and both times were excellent. Our room was large and well equipped. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We have eaten at the restaurant. The included breakfast was very nice and we had dinner at the restaurant which was also excellent. We also spent time in the pub which was also nice. The interior is beautifully restored. Although the pub does not open until 4pm, there was a member of staff available to get us checked in much earlier. If you are looking for a tourist experience, this isn't it. On the other hand, if you want a very nice place with a London neighborhood experience, this fits the bill nicely. There is a nice neighborhood park behind the Black Lion which is nice for strolls and the Kilburn tube station is only a 10 minute walk away. Highly recommended. We will be returning.

The room was huge and recently well renovated and decorated. Lots of light yet cosy and warm. The buffet breakfast was tasty and varied, and service was excellent. The pub and restaurant areas were beautiful with original features, skylights and wooden panelling. The staff were all very friendly, professional and accommodating. Just down the road is the 98 bus stop to Oxford Street which was far more interesting than using the Tube.

Kilburn, slightly further out of the city than we would normally stay but absolutely no hassle on the tube to get there!! The pub itself is really impressive, well dressed surroundings and high quality produce, my partner and I even decided to stay a little longer on the Sunday and indulge in an absolutely delicious, well priced, Sunday dinner! We stayed in the grand suite and it really was grand. Double sinks, a huge shower, a stunning roll top bath, a huge king size bed with lovely quality linen. Each room had its own fireplace and mantle with well chosen artefacts and and a great finish. Wall lights, furniture all great quality. A smashing stay, no noise from the toad, or the pub. The stay included a continental breakfast which I wasn’t expecting to be as splendid as it was. Plenty of choice, super fresh produce. A great start to the day! Wished we were staying longer!!! It wasn’t cheap but it was worth the money. Super stay. Loved it. Ps. The staff were delightful too, couldn’t do enough for us xx

Highly recommended. We received an extremely warm welcome and were very happy with our room. We have had a drink in this pub many times, as our son lives nearby, it is one of my favourite pubs around (and I’ve been to a few!). The exterior of the building is incredible and this is matched by the interior and the friendly staff. It’s the type of place where, when you order a Guinness, you are invited to take a seat and the bar staff bring the drink to you once it’s been given time to be poured properly and settle. The room was extremely comfortable and well appointed, it is certainly more high end than many of the other hotels we have stayed in around London at a similar price point. The bed was perfect for us, but that’s a matter of taste. We needed to have a quick get away early the next morning. This was communicated with the morning staff and breakfast was ready and waiting, which was really appreciated. The continental breakfast was good quality and plentiful. Overground and underground transport is plentiful and nearby, with easy access into central London and only a couple of stops from Wembley - ideal! Let’s be honest, Kilburn may not be the first place that people will think of staying when visiting London, but this place is a gem!

Lovely inn with absolutely gorgeous interiors and a warm atmosphere. Myself and my partner stayed for 2 nights as we had come to London to see a band. We were welcomed by who I assume was the owner, or head of staff, a very lovely gentleman. Our room was absolutely spotless, literally the cleanest hotel room I have EVER stayed it. It was spotless! The room was just the right size, had a great bed and shower, tv and all the usual amenities. Noise wasn't too bad at all either. A pleasant surprise was that our room had a view of a local park, which was full of the lovely Indian parakeets which now live all over London! It was a joy to watch them flying about and chirping. The hotel breakfast was amazing, they served continental breakfast with cereal, toast, fruit etc. If you are looking for a hot breakfast, they don't do it here. The location is great, about a 7 min walk from Kilburn Station. There is a 24/7 convenience store nearby, as well as various food places including a lovely Greek restaurant we visited. A fantastic inn! We had a great stay and will be visiting again should we be back in the area. Thank you for having us!

Stayed overnight, warmly greeted upon arrival. Enjoyed their wonderful Sunday Roast, truly delicious, with friends, and was delighted by their continental breakfast service, complete with a small bouquet and a candle for ambience.

Great rooms, setup and service. Very well managed with attention to every detail. Lovely architecture and the dining room is something unique catering to a high end market. Refreshing collection of beers too.

Cut glass, black and brass. Paneled ceiling. Great...long may this proper style London pub prosper. Roasts look tasty and good VfM too. Surprising gaff in the midst of Kilburn's bargain shops and hectic main road. Take your mates, take your family; its an everyone place.

Much improved over the last few years by the addition of a super range of real ales. With its amazing interior this place is a gem. Go mid week to have acquired conversational time, go weekends for a party atmosphere.

The last time I come i found it restored, I really loved. I appreciate the changing, they give even more charme to the structure. The rooms are really comfortable. The hotel stuffs are very polite and professional. My best compliments to director Chaminda that also was very professional and kind with us. I advise to everyone that hotel that is part of my heart. Best regards, Gabriella Troise

I had a meal and a couple of drinks here and have to say the food is really good. They serve Indian food, which you wouldn't guess, as it looks like a typical English pub. Needless to say, it was delicious!

My partner and I stayed here for 1 night for our yearly Christmas trip to London. Granted it is a bit far out from Central London (20 mins on the tube) but that was my error as I didn't look at the area. First impressions when getting off the tube were a bit sketchy as I don't know the area but the pub itself is stunning. You can tell a lot of love and attention has been paid to this building, it gives the perfect warm and cosy vibe, especially for Christmas. The decor and general interior is stunning and very picturesque. The staff are so polite and helpful. We stayed in room 4 which was ample for us, everything was neat, tidy and spotless, again you can tell a lot of TLC has gone into this building and the shower was great. The rooms themselves are so warm, you don't need to worry about ever being cold, but easily solved by turning down the radiator. We stayed for breakfast which was pastries, cereal, yoghurts and fruits. With a lovely coffee and juice to finish. Honestly, I would 100% stay here again, don't be put off by the location as the building speaks for itself.

We stayed at the Black Lion in early December. It was the first time we booked a room at a pub so we didn't really know what to expect, other than the comments left here on Tripadvisor. Well, we've had a delightful time at the Black Lion. Located in a lively area, you can find everything around. It's not a touristic area so you get to immerse in the real London everyday life. Buses stop at the door, a tube station nearby, you can travel through the city very easily. The pub is quite a large place and yet very cosy, very inviting. It feels like it's the place people come to chill after work and before getting home, some come here to play board games! It felt very cosy, homy. It's not so much about drinking loads but about chilling, socializing. We loved it! The pub staff was very friendly, professional and service minded. The room was cosy and clean. It's a question of taste but I really enjoyed the simple style. Cosy is the perfectly suited to the feeling we had about the room. I must admit the bed was a bit small for us, as we are a bit fluffy! But it's on us, we chose that room and the bed was described exactly as it is. We should have paid more attention to that detail when we booked. The rooms are upstairs, and the stairs are pretty steep, so we got some exercise! If you are staying in winter time, forget warm PJ, the rooms are quite warm. Nothing that can't be solved by sinking the radiator temperature and opening the window before going to bed. You may want to take slippers with you, the hardwood floor is a bit slippery if you go barefoot or with socks on. The breakfast was fine, simple cold foods. But they had technical issues in the kitchen when we were there. So maybe you can get warm food for breakie. The staff was very kind, helpful and friendly. Next time, we're in London, we'll try the room that was next door to ours: it had a bathtub and a huge shower. It's definitely a place I recommend. I'll come back there with pleasure. PS: if there was a possibility to hang our toiletry bags behind the door of the bathroom that would be great ... it's really the one minus point I'd find.

The best value stay in London we've ever had, the most beautiful rooms and breakfast included. We rarely stay at the same place twice but will definitely be booking here again for any future trips to London. Location is good as it's close to a tube station, wouldn't say there's much going on around the pub but that didn't bother us. Overall 10/10, will be recommending to family and friends

Nice comfy atmosphere, nice place, nice area, probably the best sausages I've ever had. Roast lamb was extremely tender. Been going here since I was a child. They do takeaway too.
