Stayed on a Saturday night in an executive room - one super king and one single bed. Lovely small hotel our room was on the top floor and as it's a very old building there are a lot of stairs and no lift but the staff warned us about this - it was fine for us but not suitable for... More

I choose the hotel because it is conveniently right in the middle of Lancaster, not only are the rooms tastefully decorated and modern, the bar was bussing but not loud and the meal was spot on and reasonably priced, with a good selection.

The room was an... More

once you cross the pub threshold into the hotel area, you'd not guess you're having a room above what is a lively and popular pub. The owner pays great attention to detail in the rooms. It also serves an excellent English breakfast. There is also a wonderful coffee.

Perfect for our one night stay. Bedrooms modern, clean and comfortable. A good breakfast served quickly if you pre book the night before. The Sun is an interesting old pub with a relaxed atmosphere and offers easy access to the city centre. Only downside is lack of car parking and some guests reported that they were disturbed by the late... More

This is the third time we have stayed at the Sun Hotel and we were not disappointed with our stay. Our room was clean and very warm. Breakfast was very good although my english breakfast was rather greasy. The chef had no smoked kippers or haddock until his visit to the smoke house which were disappointed about but plenty of...

My friend and I have recently returned from our third stay at The Sun. As graduates of Lancaster University, we try to visit the city every now and then and if we stay over, The Sun has always been our first choice. Unfortunately, what used to be a great hotel now appears to be in decline. Upon reaching our room,... More
