The staff in this place are so down to earth and nothing is ever too much trouble. Brian and the lady behind the bar are fab.. its classed as my local, and i live city centre.. The wines are high quality and so reasonable.. A true Manchester/ Salford pub , right in the heart of it , with no pretence. Gtreat place to stay for workers, or anyone on a budget, wanting a great breakfast and hospitality.
This is a very nice place to meet friends. Beers are reasonably priced. Pool table. Meals available. Rooms for a short stay. Not expensive. Not all rooms have en-suite facilities. On the Salford side of Blackfriars Street. All in all not a bad pub.
First time my partner and myself have been in here. What a gem of a place. Smart, modern but not over trendy. Staff so nice a welcoming and a huge choice of drinks to choose from. Didn't eat but had a look at the menu and looked very tempting. We're going to be going back here.
Good and service second to none. Top quality Pieminster pies .
Lovely clean well run pub with great food and a good selection of ales xx
The ambiance is spot-on, with just the right balance of cozy and lively. We recently celebrated my husband's birthday at The Black Lion, and I can't recommend this place highly enough! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was incredibly inviting and just perfect for our celebration.
Special shout-out to the staff for their assistance during the pre-booking process. We were able to reserve a private room and pre-order some food. Everything was ready and perfect.
If you're looking for a pub with an excellent atmosphere, and friendly staff, look no further!
My partner and I were passing through Manchester before heading overseas.
The Black Lion Hotel and the Mitre teams were instrumental in helping us send some of our belongings home.
The teams went above and beyond to facilitate the administration of this, they were consistently helpful, warm and obliging. We have only great things to say about the team.
The room was clean and with a comfortable bed. Breakfast was tasty.
And location was close to all that we needed for our trip.
Again big thanks to the whole team for your help. We really appreciate it!

Ideally located for the AO arena. Great value rooms with a comfortable bed and fantastic shower. Good breakfast and good value bar food, especially with the 20% discount for guests. The staff are all really friendly and helpful, and we'll definitely stay again.
Great location for exploring Manchester.
Good choice of breakfast.
Lovely recently furnished bed rooms. (Pity no air con, but fan supplied.)
Friendly staff.
Ideal for a central stay , rooms are furnished in a modern style and facilities are excellent. Food was lovely in the bar and will return here most certain.
Really nice friendly and polite staff. The service was really quick with the food. We stopped by for something to eat on our way to a gig. I forgot to take pictures of the food, but it was steak and cheese on chips and was reasonably priced and filled a hole!
Thank you
Room was very good! Very close to city centre! Room was clean, but cleaners didn't empty the bins when they came to do the bed. But otherwise all was very good! English breakfast was very good!
I had an awesome stay here this week! The room was very modern, clean, and spacious. I loved that the room itself didn’t have carpet. The team was so helpful and kind, the location is excellent, and they have little things going on every so often at the pub like trivia nights that you can join in on! The only quirky thing was the automatic lights in the bathrooms - no switch, just motion sensor - so while I was in the shower sometimes the lights would turn off on me. Beyond that I really enjoyed!
i’ve stayed here overnight & its a steal! modern spacious room w loads of sunlight, amazing staff & great breakfast! in addition to the excellent location.
definitely would recommend
Can't comment on the rooms as we didn't stay here. Visited the pub and had a few games of pool. Great place with friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Like traditional pubs used to be.
Brilliant hotel with pub attached. Lovely cooked breakfast selection included using quality ingredients. 20% discount off all food & drink in the bar when staying in the hotel. Would highly recommend.
There is a small team of young staff who are all really polite, professional and really helpful.
The rooms are lovely, really nice decor, great huge shower, comfy bed.
Cooked to order breakfast was brilliant, poached eggs were perfect! Love the food & drink discount at the bar!
The location is great, easy walking to city centre.
A great stay - we will definitely be back!
Stayed overnight on 12th Feb. Was very nice. It's been refurbished brilliantly. The room was nice and clean. Modern.
All the staff were very helpful and polite. Breakfast was very good. Well presented and cooked. Perfect location for Central Manchester. Plus 20% off guests food and beer.
Although We had a room above some kind of noisy fan, it went off about 11pm and came on about 8 am. So we slept well.
Also, room could have been warmer in the morning, and there was no heating on downstairs for breakfast.
Apart from that, we will be back and would recommend this place for the price. Very good.
