Why We Love This Hotel
- The 18th-century Lion Hotel is in the town of Criccieth on the Llŷn Peninsula, a 5-minute walk from 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 13th century, 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
- The Llŷn Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty occupies more than three quarters of the peninsula. There are walking and cycling routes to explore, secluded beaches to visit, a number of small fishing villages, and 70 miles of coastline
- 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 drive away. This Italianate village was designed by Sir Clough Williams-Ellis
- The property's Mane Place bar is open for drinks 3-11pm Friday-Sunday and 5-11pm Monday-Thursday

The breakfast was very good with lots of choice with wonderful poached eggs on request. We had dinner there on the first evening but the dining room lacks ambience. It would make a huge difference if the evening dining area was sectioned off and updated with modern and colourful dining furniture to look welcoming and jolly. Dinner was not great with over cooked vegetables and uninspiring salmon.

Total lack of reception/service. The rooms were not clean and we had to buy cleaning products to bring it up to an acceptable standard. We returned to hotel bar for last drink after a meal out to find it closed, despite it being advertised as being open until 11pm.
We were put into an annexe building and not advised how to enter it from inside the main hotel and when we returned the hotel was in darkness and we found ourselves unable to get into our rooms. There was no way to contact staff. Eventually after much searching one of our party found a way in.
Breakfast was mediocre, breakfast staff made some effort at least.

Despite all the trials that hospitality in Wales has gone through in the last 2 years it was not evident in the service or menus on offer everything was of high standard. The hotel was spotlessly clean, warm and welcoming. Whilst servicing of rooms was suspended due to Covid restrictions, a change of bedding and towels was available on request as were top ups to tea and coffee in the room.
There was a full menu of fresh well cooked food and the portions were far from small! All the staff were friendly and helpful at all times. Booking here proved to be a terrific bargain

The staff couldn't have been more accommodating and we were immediately moved to another room which was actually a nicer room. All staff were very helpful and friendly. The breakfast menu was varied and very nice and the service was excellent. The restaurant wasn't open in the evening and we ate in the bar. The food was ok but the menu was quite limited.

Our room was spacious as was the en suite bathroom. Shower only but that was fine. Mattress was a bit soft but quite comfortable. Car park was available and there was additional roadside parking if necessary. Overall, a nice, comfortable, visit to Criccieth which, itself, is a pleasant location with easy access to Porthmadog, Pwllheli, Nefyn, and the Lleyn Peninsula generally.

Sadly I went on the break as we'd had a sudden death in the family, I just needed to get away. All the staff at Lion Hotel are very helpful, with my luggage and everything really. I decided to stay another night, but was full up. But thankyou for giving me the chance to get all these cheap deals. And it's great to see all the good deals filtering through again after Covid, regards Mary Williams, I've been with you now since 2014, and I've had great deals. Even stayed in Treganna Castle anumber if times where the President Joe Biden stated for the G7, in fact my daughter is going there next week.

Two plus points for this hotel were the large bath towels, so often these are really small, and the excellent fish and chips. My husband, who is a connoisseur of such things, said 'one of the best ever'.

We had a wonderful stay at The Lion Hotel in Criccieth. The hotel is a great place to relax with an excellent bar and lobby area. The hearty home-cooked evening meals were a welcome treat too. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. The breakfast choices were great and we could mix and match as much as we wanted to each day.

Would have given 5* for staff as all were efficient and friendly except for the barman who was seriously lacking the Christmas spirit! Food was very good and room immaculate - looked like it had just been refurbished. Ate in bar one night and food was good. Would very happily go again.

This was a return to The Lion Hotel as requested by my husband for his birthday as we enjoyed our previous visit and we like the area. The hotel is warm and welcoming with a gas imitation coal fire in the reception area, comfortable seating and a selection of games and books. The bedroom on the first floor, room 12, faces towards Criccieth so in the evening we could see a partial sun set. There is a lift up from the ground floor which we confirmed when booking as my husband has some mobility issues and our room had a walk-in shower and thick bath towels. The bed was really comfortable. Even though the radiator was at zero it was still warm and eventually we opened the double glazed window for a bit of fresh air. It's fair to say that areas of the hotel could do with freshening but that did not detract from the experience. On Friday morning a cooked breakfast was served to order from a comprehensive list of options. On Saturday it was self service from a heated buffet table. Both evenings we ate at the bar and enjoyed our choices from the menu. The portions were generous and after my starter of Welsh rarebit it was as well I hadn't ordered a mains. Most of the attractions around Criccieth were closed out of season but we went down to the beach despite the cold and drove around enjoying the spectacular scenery. We arrived in rain but then had two cold, frosty, sunny days with blue skies which was a bonus. We will have to try and plan another visit in summer.

Check in was quick and easy staff very friendly and welcoming. Our room was very clean and comfortable, if any criticism at all it would be that the room (121) was opposite the door that led out to the car park and several times people would go out and leave the door wide open which meant the cold air coming in affected the temperature in our room even though we had the radiator on, another problem was that while some people left it open others would go through and bang it. The food was excellent both at breakfast and in the evening. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. It is easy to see why the hotel has achieved a 5 hygiene rating. We would definitely stay here again.

The Lion in is a nice place, the cozy front room styles sitting room was welcoming with log burning style gas fires. The reception ladies were very polite and helpful. The bar area is fine. The cooked breakfast was really nice and fresh. Cold choices available to. The room 11 we stayed in had a decent ensuite. Decor was pleasent. The room was very clean. The only thing that was annoying for me was the room.above us had very noisy floors boards and you could hear them walking by around, so first thing and last thing you have the noise of that. One of the single beds(not mine) was creaking all the time so that was annoying to, so every time my son moved it was noisey do these sounds I didn't like at all otherwise a good room.

Our third year visiting in January as it’s usually lovely and quiet to relax and switch off. This year was a lot busier due to a large party booking and sadly we fell unlucky on the first night and were allocated a room above the bar/restaurant which was very noisy. Luckily we were able to change rooms the next day which was much better and allowed us to enjoy the rest of our break in the atmosphere we were used to and enjoyed this time of year. All in all another lovely break in Criccieth, all staff at the hotel were friendly and helpful, breakfast also very good.

There was a very warm welcome on arrival at the Lion Hotel. Staff were so friendly. 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.

The staff were very welcoming and friendly and the meals we had in the hotel bar were both delicious and reasonably priced. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Cricieth.

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.

The hotel is very well located and the rooms were clean and appeared to be recently renovated.
The reception room was lovely, always warm and cosy. Staff were also excellent. The only criticism would be the food in the adjoined pub which wasn't good. Breakfast on the other hand was good as they offered cold breakfast ( cereals) alongside a full english

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.
