Bev, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was my first time in this hotel, booked with hotels.com. This hotel was very clean, well maintained, and its staff was very friendly and helpful. I had booked a single room for 3 nights. I had booked a single room. The room was clean with all amenities. What let the room and the hotel down spectacuarly was the thinness of the wall and the noise coming from room 19 next door, with door banging and shouting atvall hours. But manager kindly moved me to a quieter room on the second night.

Visiting family at Pwllheli.

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

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.

Jason, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

We had a lovely stay at the Lion Hotel. Room was large and comfortable. The decor and furnishing was not the latest fashion however it was clean and did the job. Everyone we met at the hotel was polite and friendly.

Good overall

Good friendly and welcoming staff and a nice feel to the whole hotel. Only downside was the bed was not very comfortable and no evening meal was available on-site. Found some good options nearby though helped by the hotel.

Philip John, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

No available food on a Monday and no restaurant in use for evening meals Staff all excellent and helpful and bar food was very good Noise from room above us was disappointing and sounded like people walking on bare floorboards Overall the hotel was good to very good
Peter, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

clean and pleasant hotel

Hotel was clean and tidy with attentive staff however a very limited evening food menus only served between 18.00 & 19.30 and in that time they ran out of steak each night tip don't ordered daily make sure you have plenty of stock as you would make more profit on another note the Spice Rack Indian at bottom of the hill is great and had us for 3 nights due to lack of hotel food. however breakfast was amazing

Really?good stay and reqlly good value for money. The room was cleen and comfortable. It had everything we needed. Breakfast was good but not excellent. Our only criticism was the shower. The water pressure on the top floor was very poor. Took an age to get wet! Othet than that, we would be happy to stay again.
