We had a bar meal in the White lion this weekend, and was VERY disappointed with the food. The web site states "All food is cooked from fresh", but this was not true of our meal. All vegetables had been re-heated, tasteless and not even warm. The fish & prawns were overcooked, and hard. The Steak was also tasteless and... More

Stayed at the White Lion last weekend with my girlfriend. The property is old and grand looking as is the interior. We had an executive room which was very large and also comes with a king size bed. (Very comfortable). The staff are friendly and are more than happy assisting with anything they can. The bar area is nice to... More

The White Lion Hotel is a great place to stay for both business or pleasure and I've had the pleasure of doing both options. The staff are polite and friendly and attentive to my needs. The food is excellent value for money and very well presented. The rooms are very good and even though the building is showing it's age,... More

Stayed here a couple of times on motorcycle trips. Good solid hotel to crash out at; decent bar, nice enough restaurant and the rooms are good for the money. Seemed nice and clean, good showers and if you get a room facing the street it's not too noisy and you get a nice view of the countryside.

Had a lovely night away planned with partner without the children. We were white water rafting so had planned to have a nice meal in the restaurant and an early - ish night to be up early the next day. The four poster room is lovely, bed very comfortable, but that is where it all ends. Food was crap. Chicken... More

Super hotel in the some what sleepy town of Bala, a 2 minute walk to the beautiful Bala Lake. Friendly people at the hotel and a lovely room to boot. Would recommend this hotel to anyone.

easy to find, car parking facilities in the grounds, easy check in and out, lovely comfortable hotel, very oldy-worldy but so nice! Really nice room, breakfast was delicious and a few pubs and bars (albeit a bit grubby) on the same road which were ok to have a drink in or a bite to eat. Overall, very pleasant stay.

This is a Brains Hotel, and we stayed in room 203 on the 14th and 15th January 2012. We used the Brains "Stay the second night free" offer. We tried to book on-line but the on-line booking form wouldn't accept the offer code that we were given (JANFEB2012), so we phoned only to be told that the rates were not... More

The deal that we got here was good although the Gala Dinner for New Years Eve was far from Gala. More like a quiet evening in a rather dull dining room. Nevertheless the food was good and the room was more than adequate. You would not believe that Bala can be rowdy but there was a shop window smashed to... More
