The Golden Lion (Middlewich) Ltd

"If it were possible I would give 0 stars. Booking in was over the phone and awkward. Room was basic but appeared OK for the price. Just after midnight water started pouring into the room through an electrical fitting in the ceiling and then the power blew. Tried several times to phone the contact number without success. The water eventually stopped but with a soaking floor and no power I ended up sleeping in my car. To this day, neither my daughter (who made the booking nor I have received any response to numerous calls and emails. Management has truly gone to ground."

"I can't begin to describe, let alone allocate stars for this place. If you are looking for the Golden Lion, it isn't there ! It is called the Middlewich Taphouse. Access , after traversing a blind corner on a one way, fast piece of road, you are greeted by a fire escape with an extremely high bottom step. The rooms are beyond basic with optional cobwebs and unironed bedlinen. One of our party had a room that hadn't been serviced after the previous occupant and we were advised to take the bedding from the spare bed in the room upstairs and service it ourselves. In all honesty, no matter how cheap, I could not recommend."

"Stayed there for four weeks they been charging me each week automatically from my credit card which was alright, but had to cancel my stay once more than 48 hours until check in for the following week and they didn’t refund money after many text messages. To be honest hotel rooms aren’t clean. When you book a room with them they will send you details with self-check in and room number, so once I came there to check in and my room already been taken by other person,so had to wait until someone come and open another room. I had to stay there,because it was the cheapest place to stay for that time,but better to pay more and less headache. Not recommend at all."

"We took 2 rooms, and were fairly informed in advance that the pub was shut whilst being refurbed. Nice comms from host up front. This is definitely NOT suitable for anyone who struggles with stairs. The rooms (6 & 35) were basic, but very clean. Beds comfy, but a little soft. Shower in 6 was really good, very powerful and hot. Less powerful in 35. Rooms were a tad cold, but duvets nice and warm. Could hear a little bit from other guests but nothing that kept us awake. Towels were quite small. Served us well for a quick overnighter and good value. The StrEAT place in carpark was much better than I imagined, we had a lovely breakfast there, and Morrisons just across road."

"Stayed in room 2 and cannot fault the accommodation. Great shower and double bed plus single. Downstairs is closed for renovation which may be a good thing as there was no noise. Great price and no complaints. Would book again. Can't comment on service as all self check in but drinks and kettle provided as well as a decent sized TV on the wall."
