The white lion hotel

We had a very good comfortable stay with the white lion hotel. Our room had plenty of space very clean and had everything we needed. Would highly recommend.
David, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

A very nice hotel with very friendly staff. I only stayed over night. I used the restaurant, the food was nice and the prices reasonable. A big car park at the rear of the hotel, however not as secure for my bike as I would have liked. Overall, nice place, I've booked to stay on my return trip from Holyhead on the 28th June.

Great Hotel, but don’t stray out..

Nice old hotel right in the centre of Bala. Secure off road parking behind hotel for my motorbike. Not much choice of ales. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. I didn’t try the food as I thought I would mix it up a bit and have breakfast over the road in ‘Hoffi Coffi’ … if you find being served a soup like offering as a cooked breakfast entertaining (tinned tomatoes, beans and a price of bacon and egg swimming around in there) then be my guest and go on in and fill your boots up! Seeing the coffee machine gave me at least some confidence that they could deliver a decent coffee? Alas, I got Nescafé… instant.. I can’t believe that in 2025 this place still exists, wait! I may have wandered into a time portal and popped up in 1983… Curry house up the way a bit was abysmal, that’s another story though…

I stayed at the White Lion on my way down from Scotland. Turned out to be brilliant choice. The hotel has fantastic pub and atmosphere. I really liked the staff, very friendly lot. My room was on the top floor, it was spacious, had a great bed, good bathroom and housecleaning. 👍 It’s central to Bala and Bala is a great village.

scott, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Had a lovely stay, room was excellent and staff were brilliant. Had a lovely fish supper when we got there and the room was lovely and comfortable. Only negative point was we paid for breakfast and half the cooked items were unavailable, no bacon, no bkack pudfing , no mushrooms and no orange juice. This was such a shame as our stay had been lovely

Friendly helpful staff. Central in Bala

We booked through hotels.com, but we booked a triple room, as it was cheapest option for a couple and a 20 year old daughter. On check in, there was not a triple room, rather than cancel us, they gave us 2 twins, much to the delight of all of us. Very friendly. Thank you

Staff excellent 👍/ room not so 😟

Staff were excellent: Room bit dated - cracked floor tiles in bathroom missing wood panelling. Brocken sleep due to constant water running down drainage pipes housed in the room 😟.

This was an absolutely perfect stay! The room was adorable and so clean and warm, with lovely supplies for tea and coffee. I was upgraded to a bigger room for free and hosted for dinner at the pub. I would definitely come back to this lovely area. Thanks!

Convenient hotel in the centre of Bala, historic building which made it interesting. The room was clean and comfortable, rather warm but a fan was provided. Nice modern bathroom. Enjoyed a very good evening meal in the bar.

Warm room on arrival made my day!

I arrived later than I had planned and was very cold as I was on my motorbike on my way to the Dragon Rally. When I arrived in my room, the heating was on and the room was lovely and warm. It really made a difference and was much appreciated. Usually when I arrive at a hotel, the heating is off. Lovely staff, great location and excellent value for money.
