"Amazing building but is starting to look a bit tired in places. Staff overall very helpful apart from one bar staff who didn't seem very interested in trying to sort out a table for an evening meal."

Lion Hotel and Studio Apartments

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed in an apartment with our three children. It was lovely and clean and perfect for us. We had two double beds in the living room and still plenty of space, and a separate bedroom with another double bed and the bathroom. The apartment was really well stocked with cutlery and plates cups etc. No issues with anything the apartment was really tidy and clean. The breakfast was lovely and staff very helpful. Good selection of cereals, pastries, fresh fruit and yoghurt. The hot selection was plentiful and tasty. Really good location not far from local amenities and a pebble beach, quick drive to portmadog."
