The room was clean and tidy. It was located at the rear and some noise from outside sources. Breakfast was good and mix of continental and full English accommodated. Good choice in all areas. Location to cathedral and city centre very good. Everything on the doorstep. Staff very friendly and helpful in all areas. Good lounge area and outside seating for afternoon coffee and tea.

External noise from refrigeration devices impacted first night sleep. Had window closed on next night. Television pixelating. Didn't report it, but gave up on it on last night.

We have stayed at the Red Lion Hotel a few times before, but always in the summer. This stay was at the start of December. The staff had decorated the hotel wonderfully. Lots of Christmas trees and lights but sympathetic to the old charm of the building. Even though our stay was in the middle of storm Darragh and the staff probably had a nightmare trying to get to work , they were all so happy and friendly. Very impressed.

We had a wonderful time. Only thing maybe would be to put more tea/coffee/milk sachets in the room for first night. That is our personal preference though as we like hot drinks. They were readily topped up next day when housekeeping came around

Hotel was lovely-loved its history. Room was very comfortable. Location was nice-easy to walk most places that we went. Breakfast was plentiful-good selection of breakfast items. Staff were very nice but front desk staff could have been more informed about arranging taxis etc.

Dislike the new trend of no top sheet on the beds. Comforter was nice but too hot at times for the temperature. A top sheet would have been nice to use in place of comforter, but beds were very comfortable. Bathroom needs more hanging space for towels to dry. Wifi did not reach our room which was very disappointing and inconvenient-need to add a signal booster.

We had a 4 night stay at this historic hotel in the heart of Salisbury. The staff were all vey helpful and friendly especially at check-in to find us an alternative room for our stay. Breakfast was a mix of Buffet and Service (Hotel has coach parties ) with a good choice. Parking is limited but with a large public car park nearby.

The Hotel is showing its age and some of the floors are looking very tired. The friendly staff were more than helpful to fix any problems we had.

Comfortable, large room. Excellent shower. Reception staff were excellent and helpful and allowed us to drop off our luggage early, prior to check in.

The bar area was big, shiny and modern. Not to our taste and not what we were expecting/hoping for in such an old building. Definitely not a cozy place to enjoy a drink. Added to this, despite there being two staff on duty, there was only one card machine available, so I was kept waiting for ages to pay; in fact the barman eventually had to take me to another part of the hotel to pay.

Lovely historic hotel with tons of character. Room was beautiful and had a modern bathroom and shower. Staff were friendly and helpful; nothing was too much trouble. Parking permits are available on site for overnight parking in local car parks. The mattress could have been comfier and was quite firm but not uncomfortable by any means. The metal on the shower screen had rusted somewhat (I assume a cheaper fitting) which doesn’t look brilliant aesthetically, but I could see evidence of where they had tried to clean this off.

We were thrilled first walking into the hotel front courtyard which looks better than its pictures and like stepping into a Platonic ideal of an old English building and scene. The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. The location is also very convenient. The room was clean and adequate rather than lavish, but we were very glad to have stayed here.

The WiFi is very temperamental, although the staff helped a lot. But then again parts of the building go back 500 years.

Hotel was located right in the heart of Salisbury within easy walking distance of restaurants, shops and the cathedral. Had outdoor area with tables and chairs that was nice to sit and enjoy drinks or coffee. Some parking was available but had to be reserved and there was a charge. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Lift provided for access to upper floor rooms.

As the hotel was built many years ago, some furniture a bit dated and no A/C but fans were provided.

Almost everything about the hotel was good. Excellent location for the town centre and nice rooms We didn't eat in the hotel but there is a nice courtyard for drinks. Have stayed here previously and would recommend to others.

Unfortunately the hotel was hosting a teenage "prom dance" the evening we stayed. This took place right in the courtyard below our window and kept us awake. The music stopped fairly early (11pm) but people did not disperse immediately. To be clear there was no bad behaviour at all but prior notification and the opportunity to change rooms to the back of the hotel would have been appreciated.

The room was clean, large, warm & furnished well. The bathroom was clean & well stocked with toiletries & towels. The buffet breakfast was excellent & the staff so friendly & informative about the history of the Red Lion. Angel was really good, she told us about the ghosts etc. Very interesting young lady! We had really good sleeps which is surprising as the hotel is right in the middle of town, we expected to hear some street noise but no, it was lovely & quiet!

The car parks filled up quickly especially Brown Street car park at the rear of the hotel. We had to walk half a mile to another car park but the 24 hour pass was accepted at all the Council car parks except George Street.
