Lovely traditional British pub. Staff were lovely and a nice welcome from Rosie the resident dog! All single rooms are on the 2nd floor (no lift). The room I stayed in was quite small but clean and very comfy bed.

Good clean room on third floor with large walk in shower in en suite. Could not undo locked wardrobe door but due to inconvenience given two free breakfasts which was appreciated. Not many socket outlets in room and non near kettle. Would not recommend having evening meal due to slow service and quality. Real ale pumps but no real ale on.Parking restricted but we were aware. Staff very helpful.

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 😟.

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

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.

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

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.
