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!

I'm amazed the manager here still has a job - must know something about someone higher up to keep his job - totally inept. The bar/reception staff on the other hand were super lovely. My complaint regarded the mattress which I could feel the springs through quote badly. The response I had from the manger (via text to the staff, not verbally or directly to me) was that he'd order another mattress and I could have a full refund of the room and find somewhere else to stay. Given this was 5-6pm ish for one night, he undoubtedly knew there weren't going to be other options, but didn't offer apologies (the staff did) nor offer any other solution. I stayed as no choice, then found the TV remote didn't work (except on/off) but given the previous, I couldn't be bothered to tell the manager, he'd probably tell me he'd order another remote. The room also said it had a desk space for work which it did. And a chair. But the bed was so close to the desk that you couldn't fit the chair next to it so you had to sit on the bed and have springs poking into you. Also couldn't be bothered to tell him this. Staff were lovely, hotel was mediocre, manager is a muppet. Lovely town, lovely area, lovely floor staff. Will return to Bala but not here.

The hotel was clean, the staff were helpful and polite. It was not the hotel's fault but I have mobility problems and although I managed to climb the stairs it was a bit of an effort to do so. I know you're not allowed a lift but it would have been a bonus to me.
