The Lion Hotel

A nice enough hotel - friendly staff, clean and tidy, and the food that was fine. The pizzas are excellent. However, we've stayed here twice now (in 4 different rooms) and it's very noisy at night! A lot of the rooms open onto the courtyard, or overlook the garden, which if the weather's good can be full of drinkers and diners. Also, in the rooms overlooking the courtyard there's a loud background buzzing, which we were told was due to the refrigeration unit. Because of this, I wouldn't go back there.

Had the yard of pizza outside in the garden between a few of us, swift service, great pizza and even better value with the 2 free sides, special thanks Sam on reception for going the extra mile,would thoroughly recommend. The full English in the bar the next day was spot on too.

Comfy traditional pub (& hotel) in the centre of Belper, a small town with an "alarmingly" high number of good pubs. This is one of them. Comfy decor, family atmosphere, solid pub food, plus a (limited) selection of cask ales. Moderate prices, friendly staff, convenient location, about a 3 minute walk eg to Belper Bus Garage. Recommended.

A lovely place to unwind. Great food and lots of gluten free options, including delicious pizzas freshly made. Some good guest ales and friendly service. Popular and a good base to explore Belper. Has a great sheltered courtyard in the Summer months. Enjoy. M

Staff are always friendly here. This time we were just popping in for pizza in the restaurant. Which is well worthwhile as the Pizza guy here really does a great stone baked pizza!

Well it wasn't the Ritz but it was very warm and welcoming, the room was good and reasonably priced.

Our server Poppy was very attentive and polite, we had a lovely stay.

We attended a wake here of a dear friend and we were very well looked after. Excellent staff friendliness and efficient service. Food is five star hot varied buffet with pizza delicious thick cut chips quiches pork pies sausage rolls good sandwiches choice. Lovely hot tea and coffee then scones jam and cream.We will return when visiting Belper to enjoy a meal from their varied menu. Thankyou

Absolutely superb food and service on Friday night. The restaurant was very busy but our table was in a nice quieter corner. All three courses were really good, brought out reasonably quickly and with staff regularly checking everything was fine. Would definitely go again and recommend.
