Dating from 1736, The Red Lion hotel was originally a coaching inn, offering weary travellers a welcome place to stay. Now a grade II listed building, the recently refurbished hotel is in the centre of the old market town of Fareham. Traditional hospitality and time-honoured attributes make The Red Lion a home-away-from-home experience, offering guests a warm welcome with a wide range of delicious food, cask ales and premium lagers and wines.
7 of us recently visited on a quiet night, but we all took a dislike to the sarcastic and opinionated barman. There are lots of pubs we can visit, and we expect a friendly welcome from behind the bar. He is a good reason never to visit here again!!
Lovely pub hotel great meals friendly staff good service. Bathroom in our room could do with a makeover as it's a bit dated and tired but otherwise great place to stay.
Stayed here from Fri 10- Sun 12th Nov 2023 and it was just right for what I needed. The single room was clean, with enough space to unpack a suitcase on the floor and a good price. The staff were friendly and helpful. When I realised I had left my phone charger at home, they were able to supply me with a plug. I had bed and breakfast. The breakfast was ample with a mixture of continental and cooked choice. The rooms were not very sound proof but luckily it wasn't too noisy. The shower had power and all facilities were adequate. Would definitely do a short stay here again. Thank you Red Lion staff - a very happy customer :)
Pleasant family stay. Food very good at both breakfast and evening meal. Kids meals are extremely well priced and of a good size. Drinks a little expensive for a pub. Great locations, close to lots of shops and bars. Plenty of parking. Room was a great size, but ceiling too low if you are over 6'. Bathroom is in need of modernisation and heating needs to be fixed as it doesn't get warm enough
The staff are very helpful, attentive and lovely The bedroom was spotlessly clean. The bed was very comfortable. the bathroom was also very clean. I had room23. Had a fan and hairdryer also. So no complaints I will add Wich is no fault of the hotel but parents of children that run up and down outside the door ,shouting screaming and slamming doors and even swearing loudly . Again, no reflection on hotel just rude children left to run wild The bar staff amazing .a really nice Spanish chap . And the breakfast ladies on the 23/10 were friendly ,happy and pleasant . The breakfast was delicious
