The Red Lion Hotel

Close to Uxbridge university

The hotel is like a maze.

The beds were very comfortable and the pillows were very fluffy too. The rooms were clean and there weren't any stale odours.

Check in took longer that it should have. Appeared to be a new staff member learning the ropes and a longer term member that was trying to tell them what to do in a very patronising way. Staff harmony would have been a bit nicer on arrival at the hotel. These sort of things should go on behind the scenes, so customers don't get to see.

We stayed at The Red Lion with my husband for two nights over a weekend trip to London. The hotel was nice, quiet and most importantly, very clean. Our room was very spacious with all facilities you would need during a short stay. It was also very easy to reach the hotel from the Heathrow airport with a direct bus connection.

It's quite far away from the London city center, it takes about 10min (waiting and taking the bus) to reach the closest train station, which is in Uxbridge, and then a 30-40min train ride to central London. So there is a lot of time loss on the way if you are in London for a short visit and you want to see a lot of things.

Always clean and pleasant at the Red Lion, Staff are very polite, friendly and efficient.

Unfortunately on this stay the bed was very uncomfotable and there was a door which closed loudly nearby whenever anyone went through it. However the hotel has a detailed questionaire and, if you do complete it and send it off, they do acknowledge receipt.
