Quinno _ left this review about Station Hotel

By the bus interchange and is a large and imposing building. Has some rather gorgeous dark wood, glass and tile heritage features within – quite the Victorian gothic aesthetic. Shame that it's a resolutely downbeat atmosphere and no cask either. Dirt cheap half of Guinness at least gave me some cheer. “This would make a great Spoons” I thought, only to then discover that it used to be! Shame it no longer is. Anyway, worth a nose for the interior. 5.5

Carl Urmston left this review about Station Freehouse

Imposing ex-Spoons, adequately described below. It looks massive and feels even bigger on the inside, with a lot to admire from an architectural point of view- curved glass and wood. Sadly, it no longer seems to sell real ale, with just national kegs for sale. Emphasis on live sport. Was doing a brisk trade on a cold Saturday afternoon. It's a great building and I enjoyed my visit, would be even better if they could put a couple of handpumps back on, but I doubt there's much demand for it.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Station Freehouse

Landmark building opposite Nelson's railway / bus interchange. Vast interior, with a large curved bar and various lounges, pool room, etc. I don't know whether the higher levels are still in use, but one can imagine all sorts of former function rooms and hotel bedrooms up there. Three of four handpumps working when I visited, offering two Moorhouses beers - Dr Rudi and Pure Witch (£1.95) plus Sun Bear from Old Bear Brewery. This must really have been quite a place in its heyday, so hopefully its latest incarnation will thrive.
