The pub atmosphere was inviting, though the WiFi sadly didn’t reach my room.

Recently refurbished rooms make for a great stay, especially the ensuite bathrooms—perfect for a little privacy after a night out. Convenient proximity to a busy bar serves up good beer and tasty food, with live music adding to the local flavor.

Rooms sit above a lively pub, leading to some late-night noise, particularly on quiz nights that clash with major sporting events. The awkward outdoor stairs could be a hassle for anyone with limited mobility, and the shared kitchen setup for breakfast—just a few cereal tubs—might not please everyone.

Perfect for groups looking for a good time

I stayed for 4 nights and the customer service was great, especially from the staff who were always ready to help. I also appreciated the quiet atmosphere despite being above a pub, made it feel like a hidden gem after a long day.

It wasn’t exactly budget-friendly but still acceptable for what you get.

This place suits me perfectly with free wi-fi, a lovely bar area, and an outdoor dining space. The staff were incredibly helpful, guiding me on where to dine. I look forward to coming back for a holiday!

would definitely go back

The room was a Budget Single Room with a private bathroom, fresh towels, and a kettle for coffee. It also had good shower pressure, heating, and a flat-screen TV. The outdoor dining area was nice for a drink. Staff were really helpful with tips on where to eat. Quite a fun atmosphere with live music too.

Friendly local ambiance

my stay at black lion was fantastic. the location is perfect and just a short walk from the train station. the staff were lovely, always welcoming and ready to help. i accessed my room from the side entrance, which made everything super easy. i particularly enjoyed the quiet atmosphere on the top floor, away from any pub noise.

we had a lovely stay at the black lion. it's a charming traditional london pub with a very friendly atmosphere. the hosts really couldn’t do enough for us, and we appreciated the cleanliness of the facilities. it's located just outside of central london but has easy transport connections, making it convenient to explore. we really enjoyed our time here.

We stayed in a Quadruple Room and were pleasantly surprised by its size and cleanliness. The staff was incredibly accommodating, even helping us with the baby needs. We loved visiting the charming local pub nearby for a delightful meal after a long day.

In my wife's opinion, a few more family-friendly amenities would have been great.

Had a lovely stay with a comfortable triple room and an enjoyable live music night that really added to the vibe. The garden area was a nice touch for relaxing with friends over a drink. The only hiccup was the keypad for the back yard didn’t work well, but that didn’t dampen my experience at all. 😊

This place boasts a fantastic location right next to shops and bars, making it very convenient for exploring the area. The facilities in the room were impressive, with clean sheets and plenty of tea and coffee. the pricing felt a bit on the higher side for what was offered, and while the WiFi was great, noise from outside was disruptive. it provided a satisfactory experience for a short visit.

a warm welcome awaits with helpful staff and convenient access to trains

Fantastic location with friendly staff.

Had a brilliant weekend stay with friends! We explored Hampton Court Palace and loved the local pubs. The rooms were comfy and the coffee machine was a nice touch. The atmosphere in the pub was lively, and the landlord was super helpful. Just a heads-up, parking can be tricky, especially on weekends, but there are good transport links around.

One downside was that the bathrooms could use a bit of a spruce up. the cleanliness was a bit lacking.

I thoroughly enjoyed my recent stay at Black Lion, with its inviting atmosphere and excellent local brews. An unexpected challenge was the entrance, which felt a bit off-putting. Still, the friendly staff and proximity to transport made my visit worthwhile!
