We were visiting Ipswich for the weekend. It was Saturday afternoon and the shops were closing and a football match was just about to finish at the nearby ground. We were on the lookout for food and knew that there was a Wetherspoons somewhere close by. From the outside it's small. We almost missed it. The give away was the... More

My husband and I often visit the Golden Lion if we are in town on a Saturday to have breakfast, yesterday we visited and upon my husbands recommendation, (as last he had, had this and it was very nice) I ordered the Eggs Benedict. The pub was quite busy as it tends to be Saturday mornings, the breakfast trade is... More

Should point out I'm reviewing this as a restaurant not a hotel! (It is slap bang in Ipswich town center so wouldn't wish to try and sleep anywhere like that as its obv going to be alive with night life!) The place looks lovely from the outside, an old little pub tucked down a corner, but once you get in... More

I have titled this eating not sleeping as I have just read the reviews, but most of the reviews involve staying the night, we however only went there for Sunday lunch. The guys behind the bar were very friendly, we ordered our Sunday roast and received our free drink, we were told it would be about 20 minutes but actually... More

Great place for cheap food, but unfortunately was served by a very rude member of staff. Ok, I appreciate it was Saturday, and he probably had a hangover from the night before, and so didn't want to be there, but there was really no need to be so offensive to us. It was not as if we had asked for... More

This was our second Wetherspoon of the day as we were having our Big Boys' Breakfast Club Christmas Special. Following an excellent breakfast at the Robert Ransome ,then a close (cut throat) shave at the Turkish Barbers, it was off to The Golden Lion for lunch. Tuesdays are Steak Club so there was no choice for us. We had 8oz... More

Great location for this hotel but unfortunately marred by below average rooms and some rude staff. The guy who checked our party of four (two rooms) in actually put wrong names down to the two rooms. Not that I thought this would be an issue - until I returned later forgetting my room number. This was a huge issue for... More

We were very disappointed with our stay at this hotel. Yes, it is centrally located but the parking was a nightmare, they wanted us to leave our car keys with reception in case our car needed moving round the tiny awkward car park, which we declined! It was 3 o'clock in the afternoon but we had to wait ages for... More
