Best Western Lion Hotel

Booked this hotel as an overnight stop on our way to the Yorkshire Dales. Easy to find just off the A1 in Worksop. Parking is available but limited in 2 locations in the hotel grounds but there is a public car park just outside which is free after 4.00pm and overnight and all day Sunday. We parked here initially but was able to transfer into the hotel later on. Very friendly welcome from a trainee in reception and a comfortable clean room. I advise you to book the restaurant her ( as the locals seem to) there is no choice outside in the town. Food was ok and good service and breakfast was fine. less

Where do i even start, Myself and my partner decided we was going to just book a nice weekend away and go and relax, After looking through Groupon we were stuck between this place and a nice little place in Cheshire, After reading reviews this place came out on top, So thanks for all those giving it great reviews you ruined our weekend. Upon getting here we was given the room Firbeck (AVOID AT ALL COSTS), It looked absolutely nothing like the photo on groupon, It looos like it was decorated 30 years ago and hasnt been touched since, Anyway on the interest of trying to just enjoy out weekend we let it go, Then when using the toilet we found you have to push and push and push forns good voupme of minute on the toilet flush button to get anywherr near something resembling a toilet flush, Again we let this go, We went for a few drinks arpund Worksop, Great if your close to retirement and into betting or getting yourself ready for a showing on Jeremy Kyle, So much so even the fee sets of locals we spoke openly asked why would you come here for a weekend, Even the people who live here dont want to be here, We went t the local cinema which was great literally across the road from the hotel, Got back to the room and go in bed to find we had two single beds pushed together, Baring in mind we had booked a executive double suite again this was a shock, We both had the worst nights sleep ever, We may aswel have had our own beds! After asking at reception to be moved we were told that all the rooms are made up of single beds pushed together (Sooooo uncomfortable), It is now 7.24am of our first morning here and we are packing our stuff and going home! AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!! less

Great room which was a better room than the standard. Comfy, usual items available and enough room to work in, which as I was on business there, was very useful. Good breakfast, although the service was a little lacking as far as attention is concerned. Took some time before the staff even asked if I wanted tea or coffee with my breakfast, which was a shame. Car parking is a little chaotic but managed to park in the hotel grounds rather than the public car park opposite, so was OK. Will happily choose the Best Western Lion Hotel again. less

Stayed for the Bank Holiday Saturday in May and booked to return for 2 nights in June. All staff work incredibly hard to ensure that guests are happy, nothing is too much trouble. Karen on reception is fantastic at her job, she truly is an asset to the Best Western group. Room 112 on the ground floor has been recently refurbished and surpassed our expectations with its new super-king bed, large TV, full size bath with overhead shower. Complimentary toiletries, tea, coffee and biscuits were waiting in our spotlessly clean room. Breakfast was superb including choice of fresh fruit, cereals, croissants, toast and the usual bacon, sausage etc all beautifully cooked and presented. Pleasing to see individual yogurts as well as jam, honey and marmite portions rather than the large uninviting bowls that so many of the larger hotel chains choose to cut corners on their overheads! Yuk!! Highly recommend the Great Western’s Lion Hotel at Worksop and can’t wait to return in June 😊 less

Great surprise when I arrived, what has always be a good comfortable hotel has been renewed and refurbished it is now a great fresh but still comfortable hotel, with excellent staff who are cheerful and accommodating. Well appointed rooms, great bar, if a little disappointing that they do not do hand pumped beer. Food of high quality and delivered efficiently and with a smile. less
