This hotel is really lovely. The staff make you feel welcome and really well looked after. The rooms are comfy and the food is excellent. The hotel is really well located to explore the town and the river.

Unfortunately the whole place smelt like piss, the breakfast was half a breakfast but full price. And the poached eggs were basically hard boiled eggs. This needs to be 200 words long so the rest of this is just to make it up or I won?t be able to review.

Had our wedding reception here- from start to finish Dom could not do any more for us- he accommodated every need and requirement. The day came and it was 31 degrees -we had between 100-150 guests and a big band with no air in the back room. Lia to the rescue, who worked her magic and moved the band into the main bar with air con and we partied the night away - nothing was too big a job for any of the staff -they were all phenomenal. Dom and Lia what a dream team you are. The food was great and the garden looked beautiful too. Thanks for everything.

Some 30 members of The Cambridge Branch of the Urostomy Association enjoyed Afternoon Cream Teas yesterday. We were very much welcomed into a private room where we enjoyed sandwiches scones and delicious cakes, and all the tea or coffee we could drink. The service was excellent and the Rest Rooms were very well presented. A very enjoyable time Thank you

While our room was fairly crowded with furniture, it was pleasant and made all the more when a staff member opened a locked window and supplied a fan to create a good cooling breeze in hot weather! The food we had was near gourmet standard too in a peaceful dining room with lovely décor. We would definitely choose it again.

Called in around 1400 on the 1st September. Our party consisted of four On ordering our food after a while a member of staff came out and asked if we wanted all our meals together, interesting When the meals came it was very disappointing. I had a so-called steak and mushroom pie it was 90% crust. I had chips and vegetables as well. If you call 8 peas a bit of broccoli and sometimes else veg? The other members of the party one had her burger bun which was burnt. One had a selection of things well honestly not worth the money So in total it was a total waist of money. So why 3 Stars the staff were nice And the icing on the cake They wanted to add on a service charge Would I go back hell no!!!

Fabulous stay in a really lovely hotel. We had a superior room which was really beautiful. It was nice to have quality products in the bathroom . While we didn?t eat in the hotel because of time constraints all common areas looked really inviting. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. Would definitely recommend and would hope to stay again.

Stayed here for the first time last week. Very friendly staff, nice clean room. Highly recommended...will stay again! Parking 5 minutes walk, if that. Very cosy place, in the middle of town. Rooms were spacious, and well kept.

Great Hotel with overnight public parking close-by, at additional charge. We had an evening meal that was of a good standard, with a excellent selection of wines, the staff were very friendly and attentive. There is a discretionary 10% cover charge on meals. The standard room was adequate, we did ask if there were any up-graded rooms, available at point of booking and never received an answer. The bathroom needed a modernisation as the shower was lime-scaled and made it look dirty. Our room no:16 was above the kitchen and the heat transferred up-wards; you could open the widows but the noise from the extraction fans all night was not good. Overall, it?s great for a overnight stay.

We chose the location fairly randomly as a place to meet and then looked for reasonably priced accommodation- all we really needed was a place to put our heads down. I was expecting a couple of rooms above an average pub and was really impressed when I arrived. The decor throughout is lovely, the room was well equipped, staff very friendly and the pub itself was lovely and where we chose to have dinner.

Staff are friendly, excellent drink choices with good quality cocktails. Nice atmosphere and we will definitely be back. Only thing I would say is that shame it is cashless, not everyone wants to pay by card and they shouldn?t be forced to, should have a choice.

Everything gets top marks at the Golden Lion in St Ives... lovely setting, comfortable rooms, welcoming staff, great food and good service. Shops, parking, public transport - all with 2mins of the hotel from door - and lots to explore in St Ives and along the riverside.

We have stayed here on many occasions over the past 7/8 years and have always enjoyed our stay. The only thing that we could possibly give a lower mark on is the full English breakfast. Not because of the quantity or the quality but because of the type of sausage that is used. It just isn't to our taste. Other than that it's good.

The Golden Lion is a lovely, clean and welcoming place to stay, with friendly staff. The rooms had everything you needed and were comfortable. The breakfast was also very tasty. I would definitely stay again.
