The White Lion Hotel

Great location

The atmosphere

Great position, good food, excellent staff!

Sheet was a bit small, came off in the night!

Fun place with a good vibe in the middle of small town. The rooms are good and it's quiet at night as well. Proper pint of Guinness.

Pleasant staff, free parking.

To be fair, this is an old property, so to some extent the owners are working with what they've got. However, that really doesn't excuse the lack of a mirror, a headboard, any kind of seat or a working surface of any size in the bedroom. Somewhat bizarrely, my bedroom (room 6) is a designated fire route with a fire exit in it. The bedroom door yale lock had the locking button removed, so it was effectively impossible to secure the door, other than on the yale. In nearly fifty years if staying in hotels, this was definitely a first! I had stayed in a very similarly priced hotel elsewhere in Wales the previous evening and the difference in quality, fixtures and fittings and comfort were like chalk and cheese. I selected both hotels through booking.com and both had similar ratings, but I am really struggling to comprehend how that is accurate. Re-reading reviews on The White Lion, a lot of customers praise the pub and the food elements of the property. I didn't use either, so to be clear (and fair) my review is based solely on my experience of this particular room. Sadly, on that basis I could not recommend this hotel and definitely would not use again.
