Lovely hotel, great base to explore Llyn Peninsula
We were very impressed with the Lion Hotel in Criccieth. It is in a great position with plenty of parking. It is a traditional character hotel, clean, well maintained and decorated with lovely staff. It was also great value, would recommend as a base to explore the beautiful Llyn Peninsula.

Good place to stay in Criccieth
Decent hotel - typical old hotel building that's been progressively modernized.
The staff are friendly, the breakfast was good, and the room was comfortable - if small. I'd be happy to stay here again.

It was ok
It was ok but the room was a little bit tired, and a bit cold overnight. There was a very cold draft coming in the bathroom window which wasn’t well sealed. .
The restaurant closed at 3pm on a Sunday (presumably because of very low season) but we managed to find somewhere to eat nearby. Everything was clean and the staff we saw were very pleasant.

A beautiful historic hotel in a picturesque welsh town. Excellent breakfast and friendly staff. Only complaint is the room was a bit hot and stuffy, even with the window open.

We had a Castle View.
Nice pub/hotel in Criccieth. A small seaside town, just outside Porthmadog, but without the crowds. Good size car park and public transport, if you wish to have acar free day.

Great stay, good location to explore the area.
Free parking, good Wi-Fi, good breakfast.
The bed was a a little soft but personal preference. The hotel had everything we needed for a comfy family stay.
Staff were also all very pleasant. Would definitely stay again.

Not the best, not the worst…
Considering it was the last room available on a last minute booking, we were glad to have a place to stay… with a decent breakfast included.
