“The Black Lion Hotel strikes me as a solid choice in Salford, particularly for its smartly refurbished rooms that lean towards a modern, even funky, aesthetic. It feels surprisingly good for the price point, offering a comfortable base with excellent showers and a breakfast that generally hits the mark. The staff seem particularly adept at service, as evidenced by one instance of returning lost property, and the location is undeniably convenient for exploring Manchester.”
