The Breakfast room was well maintained with a great choice of both food / drinks - hot and cold. I require special items - soya milk, herbal teas - both of which were supplied with a smile. Everyone was very helpful, And staff remained polite and "smiley" even when the Breakfast Room was busy. Location was perfect for walking to the beach and other facilities in Criccieth. Also easy access to roads to other resorts.

My room was on the second floor and some noise from rooms either above or next door did impact late at night. Perhaps the curtain runners in rooms could be made "quieter" - again impacted a bit late at night. Mentioned to the Hotel Manager that the bed-side light didn't work. The hotel lift - quite old - made me a bit nervous. BUT there was nothing that I didn't really like.

Room was as photos - twin set up, wardrobe, 3 small (bedside table sized) units too and dresser table with mirror, Shower only - knew some rooms showers only, some shower over bath, per photos - all clear and no problems. One straight backed chair by dressing table/desk and two tub chairs in the window which was nice as there was a lovely view from the room - could see the bay/the sea. Great breakfast each day. Lovely dinner there one evening too. Kettle, tea and coffee in room - could ask at reception for more when needed. Staff were really nice, friendly, helpful, really great team - thanks all!

Cleanliness could be improved. Bathroom suite was clean but some dust/dirt along a low box/shelf (over pipes probably) and around bin - clearly there - easy to see and should've been cleaned... Sheets/towels all clean and fresh and room generally ok - it's older building and by the sea so...

We arrived after a long drive. Everything was ready, reception were friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. The room was fine and exactly what we wanted. Our overall impression of the Hotel was it was what we expected. We visited in February, so unable to comment on what it would be like in the busy summer season, but given our experience we would expect no problems for people. The breakfast was really good with a good variety of alternatives. It certainly set us up for the day. The evening meal was also very good and freshly cooked. As for the location, it really couldn't have been better for us, it is also near to the railway, a 5 minute walk to the beach and town centre.

We found the room a little cool on arrival but it was February and once we had worked out how to turn on the heating we were fine. We enquired about the hotel pet policy and were told they don't allow dogs.

The location of the hotel was great. Not to far to walk into Criccieth. Literally down the hill. We had a lovely view from our room of the castle on the hill. We did have the apartment, which had all we needed to enjoy our stay. The front desk staff member, when we arrived, was really friendly and welcoming. She was Was very helpful in providing us with information of the area and facilities. We did have breakfast included in our stay and would say this was also lovely.. food was nice and facilities clean. Would definitely come again.

A very clean and comfortable hotel with very friendly staff. All of the staff were very welcoming and helpful. There is a really nice vibe to the Lion Hotel and you immediately feel at home here. The hotel is in a great location just off the high street and only a 15 minute walk to Criccieth Castle. It’s also very quiet and has a nice area by the reception to relax in. The hotel provided gluten free options for me and the food was nicely cooked. All in all, a perfect place for the solo traveler and couples. Thank you so much for making my stay so comfortable.

The single rooms were a little on the small size but no real complaints. The security light in the ceiling needs turning off as it is a distraction when trying to sleep. The light in the ceiling outside Room 8 needs fixing as it doesn’t always come on and makes a noise.

Great location and free onsite parking. Room very spacious with the added bonus of a bath. We were booked in for Saturday 7 December but couldn’t travel due to storm Darragh. Staff were very kind and let us move our booking to the Sunday with no quibble and we really appreciated that. Room was very clean and comfortable. It was nice to sit in the bar area with a drink in the evening playing cards. Breakfast was lovely, waiting on staff very polite and friendly. Good selection of food, sausages were good quality. Really enjoyed the stay and feel it offered excellent value for money. Special thank you to Jess on reception, very friendly and helpful.

The only constructive criticism I have is that although the room was lovely and warm when we arrived, we were unable to turn down or turn off one of the radiators so it was a bit too warm for trying to get to sleep. We don’t normally sleep with the heating on so it was a bit uncomfortable. Probably just a new thermostat required, room 19

Every member of staff at The Lion Hotel were brilliant, they could not do enough to help me. I was travelling on my own with my 5 month old baby and when I arrived and they realised they changed my room from the 3rd floor to the first floor and gave me one with more accessibility. They helped with my bags and getting everything with my pram ect to the car. The breakfast was Included they have a lovely choice cereals, fruit, juices, croissants, jams and spreads. Fresh tea and coffee and toast is served and then a hot selection of all you can eat cooked breakfast, this includes sausage, bacon, eggs, mushrooms, beans, tomato. (You can also request boiled or poached eggs from the chef). I also ate in the bar one evening which you get 10% discount if you book at reception in the day. That was lovely I had a starter from the specials menu and dessert. Very reasonably price and very tasty. The location is close to the beach, a small castle and only 15 minutes drive from Portmeirion and a short drive to Caernarfon. Overall I had a wonderful time and the staff made it really easy for me during my stay. I would definitely return.

The hotel was immaculately clean, especially our room no27. The bed was so comfy too. Can't fault anything about the room. It was easily accessible too for measurements I'd injured my leg and couldn't manage too many stairs. Also, it was handy for a few shops in the area. The breakfasts were very enjoyable and Linzie was very efficient and pleasant. Would stay there again. The Reception was very helpful too.

Nothing, everything was just right.

The staff were very helpful and accommodating. There was a good choice of different foods at breakfast. The hotel is very well located being very close to the beach and had ample parking. The room was comfortable and warm.

Granola would have been a good addition to the choice of cereals available at breakfast and better choice of fresh fruit would have been welcome. Attention to detail to check the cleanliness of all areas in the bedrooms would be good.

The apartment was perfect for our requirements. A large modern lounge & kitchen area with a large double & bathroom meant I was able to share very comfortably with my mum. Ground floor with a walk in shower is ideal for anyone with limited mobility. Friendly & very helpful staff on reception. Loved the decor & furnishings in the apartment. It all looked very newly done.
