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!

Enjoyable stay in Bala

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.

Average hotel

Having ridden through Bale in the Summer on a motorcycle holiday and the place was BUSY, I decided to try an over night stay. Found The White Lion the reviews on the hotel site were promising so I booked a single room. One thing to know is you CANNOT check in till 15:00, unlike most places I’ve stayed they didn’t even look to see if the room was ready, was told flatly check in is 15:00. The car park has VERY limited spaces least one good thing about arriving early even if couldn’t check in I got a parking spot. Checked in about 16:00 was in room 306 thought I was in a single room but was pleasantly surprised it was a small double 😁 the shower was interesting, wasn’t much water pressure but as I was on the 3rd floor that wasn’t surprising. The room for a single was a good size, the facilities were a bit tight there was one sachet of coffee and 2 tea bags and about 50 sugars. The toilet seat was broken and the light flickered, didn’t book the breakfast after reading some of the write ups on trip advisor. When I went out for dinner I noticed the place was empty even though it has a massive restaurant space, after reading the trip advisor comments I understood why. I wouldn’t stay here again, shame it looks like it has so much potential.

We were genuine surprised at this hotel. We’d been to one the night better that was awful so went expecting much. We loved it. Rooms spotless, spacious, bathroom lovey… nice and quiet! We are dinner and breakfast there and both were great! My daughter has asked to go back here next time we go to Wales!
