Why We Love This Hotel
- The hotel has views of the mountains of Snowdonia National Park, which is a 15-minute drive away
- Criccieth Beach, which has a Blue Flag, is five minutes' walk away
- 13th-century Criccieth Castle is a 10-minute walk from the hotel
- Frommer's describes Criccieth as one of the "best towns on the peninsula", due to its location -- Porthmadog and Portmeirion are within 20 minutes' drive
Overview
The 18th-century Lion Hotel Criccieth is on the Llŷn Peninsula, a 5-minute walk from the Blue Flag-awarded Criccieth Beach and 15 minutes' drive from Snowdonia National Park -- you can see the mountains and the sea from the hotel.
Criccieth Castle, which dates back to the 1230s, is a 10-minute walk from the hotel. Its ruins are perched on a cliff and offer views along the southern coast of the peninsula and over to Harlech.
Frommer's describes Criccieth as one of the "best towns on the peninsula", due to its location; the harbour town of Porthmadog is a 10-minute drive away and marks the start of the 91-mile Llŷn Coastal Path, which runs around the peninsula to Caernarfon.
Portmeirion, made famous in the TV series "The Prisoner", is 20 minutes away. This Italianate village was designed by Sir Clough Williams-Ellis.
The Llewelyn Restaurant is closed November-March, but food is available in the Mane Place Bar. The bar serves British cuisine made using local produce and a Sunday carvery is served throughout the year.
Some bedrooms are in the Castle View Cottage annex -- a former stable block of the old coaching inn.

We stayed in Room 28, which has clearly been recently renovated. Our only criticisms are that the shower head was tiny, with poor water pressure & the temperature was difficult to control. Also, having the bedroom window open meant having to hear, & smell, the smoking area below.

We had a ground floor room in the Annexe, which was ideal as I hadn’t mentioned when booking that I’m disabled and struggle with stairs. Another benefit of the annexe were the views over Criccieth Castle. Very good Welsh buffet breakfast included. We ate in the ‘Mane’ bar. There is a proper restaurant which has the same menu as the bar. The food was pleasant. I’d be very happy to stay at the Lion Hotel again as it’s location is very good.

Thank you Travelzoo for enabling us to source a great value weekend break at THe Lion in Criccieth. As there was a wedding on in the hotel, we were allocated rooms in outside courtyaed/car park. Whilst the rooms were small and the decor a little dated, they were clean, had a great view over the castle and bathroom was recently renovated. However, the shower was exceptionally noisy, slow to get to temperature and not very "fierce". I discovered on the second night that the mattress in room 53 is bigger than the bedbase and actualy overhangs - this explained why I had the feeling I was falling out of bed and didn't sleep well. The breakfast each morning was exceptional, the best self serve buffet breakfast I have had. Constantly being freshly restocked, the food was of a very good standard.

We would not hesitate to stay here again. Criccieth is a lovely village, ideally located for expoling and we were even lucky enough to enjoy some sun on the Sunday! Ate out both nights but wish we had seen the food offerings at the Lyon earlier as the options availble were reasonably priced.

This is a good hotel. We stayed at the Lion Hotel while exploring the North Wales coast. It was excellent. We had a small double room in the new block at the rear of the hotel; excellent, clean, warm with an en-suite bath and comfy bed. Breakfast was excellent with a self-service buffet and dishes cooked to order. My wife enjoyed a generous portion of kippers; I had the full Welsh. The dinner menu was served in the dinning room or bar and had a good selection of dishes and drinks at very reasonable prices. This is a good hotel and we would be happy to stay there again.

The Lion Hotel was excellent value for money and the menu offered a good selection of food and drink at reasonable prices. Everywhere was clean and tidy and most areas appear to have been decorated fairly recently. Some things were in need of updating like the doors and carpets in the castle view cottages but everything was in full working order. Service was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Bar only open for short periods so couldn’t get food if you wanted a lateish lunch (2.30pm). The Lion seemed to be the only hotel open - all others were being refurbished! Also, only found one other pub open on the day we arrived but it was closed during the day after that as that too was being refurbished. Hardly any shops open. Obviously a bad time of year to visit. Won’t go back.

Although we booked quite some time ago , we found ourselves relegated to a small room, with noWiFi service,on the far side of the car park. We actually felt quite vulnerable there apart from getting very wet went we went across to the hotel. It was difficult to gauge the ambiance of the main hotel when we were not staying in it.

The hotel and rooms are very dated.
The noises from the sani systems are ridiculously loud, it's all very well giving ear plugs but some folk can't use them and it's not exactly addressing the issue.
Bathroom was large and clean, however very tired and had a bad smell of drains.
If this Hotel was modernised and addressed a few issues it would be a fantastic hotel.

But we stayed towards the back of the hotel, a lovely aged building and homely, but it does need a revamp and some TLC.

So forget the annaxe
On booking asked for a ground floor room & was told we would be in the "Annex" which turned out to be the smallest room I`ve ever stayed in & to top that there was a note from management that we were free to use the ear plugs supplied due to the "Creaking of floorboards" from above & by heck there was....so no future recommendations, ie Face book is a powerful thing. So basically management need to address this problem, & it`s not a "Moan" it is a big problem.
