As only one of two hotels in Lampeter. If using for overnight stop for events at the university there is not much choice. My room had a hole in the wall. The quilt had holes in the cover was ripped. The plug hole in the sink had to be cleaned to let the water clear away. Check out time was... More

Stayed here for graduation. The room had massive black damp patches on the wall. You could actually smell the damp in the air. The bathroom was dirty and the towel even had a lipstick mark on one of the towels. The room was incredibly cold despite the time of year. The whole room was thoroughly unpleasant is every way. It...

On the 23rd of December 2012, My Partner and I booked into the Black Lion Hotel in Lampeter. As It was after 8pm we checked and were informed that the hotel wasn’t doing breakfast the next morning, due to Christmas being so close, I asked what that had to do with it and was told that the chef wanted time...

Have stayed at 'The Lion' a few times now, first time decided to stay here despite the reviews as it's the only hotel in town. As always I've arrived to find the staff friendly the room and bed clean and tidy. Breakfast is always good. At £50 including breakfast, for two, I'm not expecting the Ritz. And I'm certainly getting... More

Ok so I came into this expecting bad things, after reading reviews, but I have to say I was relieved! Staff were very busy, but when I found one he quickly took me through the payment, I'm on crutches, so he offered me a room swap for a single/twin. I decided against it and was put in 209. Pub itself... More

We arrived really late and the bar staff were very welcoming and helpful. Room as expected, a big room, could do with a deep clean, and re decoration, but what do you expect for £39 a night. The first morning the housekeeping staff nearly walked in. As we hadn't left the room by 9:30 the room was never made up... More

This is not on the road of every visitor and I liked it. It has genuine feeling. I like these pub hotels from time to time and this one was good choice. The staff was helpful, food was good in the pub, rooms was clean with proper shower, there was a parking place at the back of the hotel. It... More

We stayed one night at this hotel as we were visiting relatives in the local area. It was just great! As previously said it is a little tired but excellent value for money, beautiful old building and the staff could not have been more helpful and nice. The food was great and the rooms were wonderfully clean. We are used... More

Look beyond the tired paint work and creaking floors (after all this is an old building) and the Black Lion provides a comfortable and inexpensive hotel. the rooms could do with some investment, but at the price charged it is difficult to see where this will come from. The staff were excellent, very helpful and the food was plentiful and... More

I stayed here with 14 other cyclists on Saturday September 15th. Excellent value for money right in the middle of the town. We all ate there in the evening and the food, service and staff were excellent. Everything arrived exactly how we ordered it and at the same time. Faultless. Mike
