Lovely old hotel

This hotel has a fantastic chef who prepares meals to perfection. The hotel is conveniently situated to the beach. Also good for exploring the peninsular. Old fashioned but quaint and I would recommend staying here. Easy parking. Friendly staff.

A short Break.

This was my second visit to The Lion. The hotel offers excellent service at a very reasonable rate. The staff are friendly and the food on offer is very good and at a very competitive price. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Overall great stay

Our stay here was lovely. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The only down side, is the choice of Rose wine. Only one (Zinfadel) which I do not like, so I was unable to enjoy my normal Rose with my dinner. Strongly suggest, that they give another choice.
Simone, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Short stay so difficult to rate but made arrangements for my late check in, good breakfast with attentive staff. Room large and with tea/coffee
Iain, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Moderate

Food options were very poor for me being allergic to eggs and anything hot-spicey. The evening meals we had on our 2 day stay were excellent, tasty and well cooked. Breakfast left a bit to be desired. Poor choice of cereals and very little choice for people who don't like the "full english" option. However our room was nice, spacious and comfortable bed.
Caroline, 2-night trip

Visiting family at Pwllheli.

The hotel offers good value for money and the staff are welcoming and willing to assist with maters.

Lovely hotel, great base to explore Llyn Peninsula

We were very impressed with the Lion Hotel in Criccieth. It is in a great position with plenty of parking. It is a traditional character hotel, clean, well maintained and decorated with lovely staff. It was also great value, would recommend as a base to explore the beautiful Llyn Peninsula.

Good place to stay in Criccieth

Decent hotel - typical old hotel building that's been progressively modernized. The staff are friendly, the breakfast was good, and the room was comfortable - if small. I'd be happy to stay here again.

Comfy hotel, good location to explore the area.

Great stay, good location to explore the area. Free parking, good Wi-Fi, good breakfast. The bed was a a little soft but personal preference. The hotel had everything we needed for a comfy family stay. Staff were also all very pleasant. Would definitely stay again.
