Checked in easily on Saturday afternoon. And had a drink in the bar with our dogs. Rooms comfortable, but very warm - equipped with fans. Breakfast very basic (£5) but sufficient for me. Very friendly, attentive staff. Great place - allowing dogs to stay for free. Would definitely stay again.
A great place to stay in the centre of Spalding. Very welcoming staff, the room was very clean and had everything we needed for an overnight stay . The bed was really comfortable.
Clean room, looks newly refurbished, comfortable bed, air con was fantastic during a heatwave. Friendly staff, quick check in, good breakfast. Best hotel room out of a few I've tried in this area. Despite being above a pub was very quiet.
The room was lovely and clean. The bathroom was clean but had a smell of urine. The shower was difficult to get a good temperature, so it was an extremely hot wash. I was in room 6, the radiator kept going crazy, in the sense it was loud, like the motor was malfunctioning. But due to the company I had, I was extremely happy and would go back again. Overall happy.
Excellent large room with large balcony. Spotless room. Nice bedding and towels. Great shower.Comfortable bed. Staff very friendly. Great check in and out.
Great little hotel above an English Pub. Was relatively quiet after the pub closed. Great central location, friendly staff, wonderful food. No air conditioning but they did provide a couple of fans and we kept the window open so that cooled the room well enough. The beds were a bit on the firm side but overall was a great room.

Stayed there for a night. Room was very hot, cigarettes smell all over the room. No water, nothing provided. Disappointed with the stay. Have stayed at different Red lion and had a good experience. But disappointed with this one.
Good twin room which was very spacious. Good facilities including tea and coffee. Very good value for money. Right in centre of Spalding so walkable to all shops and other bars and eateries. The only negatives for me were the room was quite hot but the window couldn’t be opened and the bed was a bit in the hard side for me - but that’s down to my personal choice. Otherwise all good.
We decided on the Red Lion due to its central point with regard to the Spalding Tulip festival and were pleasantly surprised by the standard of the room and the friendliness of the staff especially the landlady who was lovely. The food served was excellent and value for money. Even though it was a busy weekend and the pub was heaving we were not disturbed by noise which we fully expected to be. Due to the festival food was not served on the Saturday night but due to the proximity to other good restaurants this was not an issue.
