Fabulous stay at The Sun Inn. Excellent value for money. I was upgraded free of charge. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Room was spacious and the bed was extremely comfortable. Would definitely stay at The Sun Inn again next time I visit Lancaster.
Very comfortable stay - staff all excellent, food was very good and the location is perfect. I stayed for work but would definitely recommend for a leisure break. Room was small but comfortable and clean
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room and beds were comfortable. The location was great, a short walk from the train station and close to the Castle. The restaurant and bar downstairs were great!
Absolutely loved the Sun Hotel & Bar. Room was beautiful, clean, comfortable and quiet. Perfect location, wonderful pub and beer garden. Would highly recommend.
Warm and cosy double room, 7 min walk from the railway station and restaurants in close walking distance. Good location for the town centre, museums and castle. Friendly and helpful staff. Would recommend.
Loved this quaint old building, with excellent bar & dining, right in the vibrant heart of Lancaster. It's within walking distance of trains, buses and tourist attrations like Lancaster Castle and the excellent City Museum.
Lovely hotel. Room was comfortable and I really liked the bar downstairs. We had dinner and breakfast in bar. Lots of options and both excellent. Staff are friendly and helpful. Thi is my favourite place to stay in Lancaster. Central and can walk to train station from it.
The staff member who accepted our luggage early before the 3pm check-in was very helpful, on our return when the room was ready she had upgraded our room which was a great touch and unexpected. I'm sure we will stay again.
It is quiet and well-maintained, right near the train station, the Lancaster Castle, and lots of downtown shops and restaurants. The food is tasty. There are a lot of steps into and out of the hotel spaces (and no lift). If you're up for that exercise, it is a charming place to stay.
