Good clean, friendly hotel, room was very small for a family room, only two of us but still felt it was a bit of a crush. Couldn't use the shower as it was something out of the ark, not even a power shower which would be the norm in most hotels. Hotel needs upgrading in many ways. Great location for... More

Was at The Lion Hotel with a Dodds of Troon Coach Tour. Staff were friendly & efficient. Stayed in annex at hotel, room was a little small but had great view of castle. Entertainment was good and food was brilliant. We were welcomed by Ambrose the friendly cat, would recommend this hotel again. We will be back soon.

Lovely, clean hotel, with friendly staff in a great location. Great base for exploring the beautiful north Wales. The food was fantastic. We went on bed and breakfast but stopped there one evening for our dinner, the food was brilliant. The decor in the dining room could do with improving though, way too much pink! We stopped in the out... More

The lion hotel is situated in the heart of the small picturesque town of Criccieth. We stayed as part of a coach tour group Monday to Friday. The staff gave us a warm welcome, and all were helpful and polite throughout our stay. We were on a half board basis, breakfast was a buffet with a wide choice of cold... More

A very friendly hotel with very comfortable beds and good home cooked food and an excellent wine. The décor could do with a review - pink does not work. The hotel is well situated in a quiet location with easy access to Criccieth and the surrounding areas. The hotel takes in coach parties, two of which were there on our... More

The reviews here are very mixed but I can only recount my own experience which was OK to be honest. I only paid £30 for 'room only' (one night stay) through Booking.com and that included a bottle of wine. Reception was pleasant and my room was on the upper floor of the main building overlooking the castle. The room was... More

This may be a great hotel for the grey pound Tourist on a coach trip but if you are a business traveller then give it a miss! I was booked into the hotel by a colleague as I was attending a nearby exhibition. On arrival I was given a key for the Annexe nearby. Also told that breakfast would be... More
