The White Lion Hotel  

The hotel is situated right on the sea front and was quiet of a night. The bed was comfortable and the room was accessable for disabled people with wet room and shower seat. Had a lift even though it was very slow and a bit on the small side. Although we couldnt get my scooter into lift we were given the opportunity to charge it downstairs in a function room.

The manager let the whole team in the hotel down and one day our room wasnt clean properly and there were no clean towels.

The location was fantastic and parking easy - good and quick receptrion (both in and out) - good food with excellent wine list - fish was very good. Cheese board really great. Friendly staff who werew always helpful and very well presented. Room was clean, well equipped and suitable for a weekend - might be a little tigh for longer period.

Would have been better to ahve booked a sea view room -

Excellent service, good food at reasonable prices, excellent location

Made a restaurant reservation a month before we arrived only to find that they had no record of it! They did manage to sort it out so no problem. Also booked a morning call but did not receive it the first day so a bit of a lack of communication between staff!

Our sea view room was very modern and extremely comfortable. The views of the sea from the window were great especially first thing in the morning as the sun was rising. The food in the restaurant was delicious and where possible locally sourced - the fish comes from a fishermans hut across the road - you can't get more local than that!

Great, comfortable stay. Good breakfast.

I was on the top floor and the wi-fi signal was not strong enough. I had to sit in the lobby to get any work done and this was not ideal. I spoke to a lady at the reception but she seemed unconcerned, indicated that that they didn't know there was a problem - which I find hard to believe. It's a shame because it is a simple problem that can easily be fixed by adding another transmitter.

Very pleasant and helpful staff. Nice room and firm bed. Good menu for evening meal and very good service.

Dreadful breakfast, I had to instruct the staff the definition of toast, i.e. warm bread does not constitiute toast. I have never been particularly partial to raw sausage either. The bacon appears to be cooked at about 7.00 and kept warm for the next 3 hours so I used it to repair one of my shoes. 2 problems here: Someone in the kitchen and I hesitate to use the term "chef" thinks this is acceptable.2) a member of serving staff thinks this also. On returning to the hotel at 11.45 saturday night we were told they could arrange for one round of drinks "the night porter has called in sick and I want to go home" said a member of staff.Another member of staff: "Oh good you are back, I was worried we might not have been able to contact you as there is no night porter and you would get locked out" !! Is the war still on in Aldeburgh??
