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.

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 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 staff were absolutely great and went out of their way to accommodate every wish we had and to help with advice on local attractions and public transport. Breakfast was also excellent - the service and the food (fresh fruit, great choice of cooked breakfast items, pastry etc). The staff were very attentive and always made sure that there was enough of everything on the buffet. Our room was tastefully decorated and the reception / lounge area was also very beautiful. Parking was also good. The hotel is very conveniently located for the town centre as it is only a very short walk to pubs and restaurants. We had a nice meal one evening in the hotel restaurant. We would have gone again but the restaurant was closed due to staff shortages. This was clearly communicated in advance of our stay so we knew about it and it wasn’t a problem at all.

We had to change rooms due to the lift not going to the 3rd floor. My mom has mobility issues and the 2 flights of stairs were a problem. I should have asked for an accessible room prior to booking but did not. The lady that was managing Reception was so understanding and moved us to another room. The room was lovely and clean with a nice view. Breakfast is amazing as a buffet style and the staff met all our needs and were friendly.

Really well appointed room with excellent view and breakfast buffet had good choice. Breakfast room was bright and airy. Reception staff couldn't have been more helpful Hotel is in an excellent position just a few steps away from the high street and the beach though we didn't visit that but lots of others did.
Wife, who has a sensitive nose kept mentioning a smell in the lift but a new air freshener seemed to do the trick. My main niggle is the for us always having to sit at the same table for breakfast and not being able to pick our own spot. The table number did not even match our room number so we found this puzzling.

Lovely staff, lovely location. Breakfast included, which was very good quality and variety, tasted great. Friendly helpful staff, polite. Beds are very comfortable and bedding very clean. Range of comfy areas to relax in evening in and around the bar.
Hotel: Paid for twin room, room cleanliness was a little lacking, dusty and unhoovered. Also, surfaces in the bathroom and the rooms dressing tables needed a wipe clean. (Some unsightly residue / goo left from previous guests). Towels did not get changed either, but I think this is down to the minimal amount of staff employed (not enough time and spread thinly) Other than these, great visit.
