Since light cannot escape a black hole it is essentially invisible. Just a literal black hole in space. Fortunately, due to the extreme gravity of the singularity, light is bent (Gravitational lensing) around the outskirts of a black hole which causes a visual distortion of light.

Think of a piece of metal with a bullet hole. Around the hole the metal is warped, distorted and pressed inward. That is how you would see a black hole except it would be much more difficult to see. If a black hole eclipsed a star close enough, you would see a round black emptiness surrounded by light. The hole itself is absorbing every bit of light from the star but some light is orbiting *around* the black hole as it's being sucked in causing a kind of halo. This is essentially how we look for black holes.

If you were to get close enough the event horizon would appear as a completely black, featureless sphere. The stars behind the black hole would appear severely distorted due to their light being bent by the black hole's gravity.

In a way, it doesn't. Since no light can escape from a black hole, and the black hole will only emit an insignificant amount of Hawking radiation, it doesn't really "look like" anything. It can only be detected indirectly. If matter falls into the black hole, such matter will emit copious amounts of x-rays (before reaching the event horizon). Also, the black hole affects the movement of nearby objects. For example, stars can be seen moving around Sagittarius A*; from their movement, the mass of Sagittarius A* can be calculated.

Actually a black hole is invisible, what you do see is debris being sucked in.

Despite our curiosity as to what the inside of a black hole looks like, it is simply impossible to know.
