The Golden Lion Hotel Northallerton

Review by hotel critic

Review of the Golden Lion HotelDuring my recent visit to the Golden Lion, I encountered a blend of comfort and hospitality that aligns well with both luxury and value. The spacious and clean room offered an inviting atmosphere, while the comfortable bed ensured a restful stay. The friendly demeanor of the staff truly enhanced the experience; one gentleman, who I regret not naming, brought warmth to our breakfast service with his charming jokes. The hotel’s location was a pivotal advantage, providing easy access to local attractions. I also appreciated the high-quality food, particularly the Sunday carvery, which showcased the chef's skills. Although the breakfast offered was not a buffet, it was well-prepared, with ample options for all guests. While some areas of the hotel felt a bit dated, the well-equipped rooms and attentive service balanced the experience. The mix of amenities, including free Wi-Fi in public areas and welcoming personnel, underscored a sensible investment for travelers seeking both comfort and access to local culture. I look forward to returning soon, as the hotel’s charm and hospitality surely warrant another stay.
