White Lion Royal HotelHigh Street, Bala, LL23 7AE (Show map)
The White Lion Royal Hotel, built 1752, reopened after extensive renovations to a 4 star Coaching Inn standard. Close to Snowdonia National Park (an area of outstanding natural beauty) and the Lake District of North Wales. Straddling the A494 Dolgellau road, The White Lion Royal Hotel is ideally situated for touring North and Mid Wales. One would have difficulty finding a better location than the Bala area, the Lake District of North Wales. The hotel has been completely refurbished, bringing it up to 4 star coaching inn standard. The White water rafting center is nearby, we are one of the closest hotels. We would advise booking a table at the same time as room as the restaurant is very popular. Hotel Rooms: 26, Hotel Chain: S.A.Brain & Co. Ltd. The most recent booking for this hotel was made on May 25 at 15:24 from United Kingdom.

I've been staying here over a period of 40 years and this time was the best experience. Staff very friendly helpful and prompt service. It is most convenient and central for Bala centre and family meetings. Food range, beer choices all good. Room 307 - some furnishings a little dated but good to have en-suite.

Rooms were clean and tidy. Single room was small and uncomfortable as risk of hitting your head when getting up in the night to go to the toilet. . Not sufficient parking spaces.

We had a nice big bedroom and bathroom. The hotel was warm. The breakfasts were very good and food in the bar was excellent value. The staff were very nice and helpful. It was lovely to have a comfortable sitting area as well as a bar. Pillows were a bit hard.

Stayed in a family room with a 4 year old and 2 year old. Forgot our portable bed for the little one but hotel provided a travel cot. Room was spacious and clean, good bathroom and beds. Food in the restaurant was alright, ditto breakfast. I'd happily stay again. Thermostat on radiator was broken, room was very hot until I turned the radiator off at the other end. Room was on 3rd floor, a decent climb with no lift. Minor irritations.

The food was excellent, friendly atmosphere. Lovely log fire in the bar. Very good breakfast too. No lifts, but as its an old building that's to be expected.

We re-visited our wedding day (1966) hotel! Good memories. Good bedroom with four-poster bed. Staff are friendly and helpful. Excellent breakfasts. Proximiity to 'pizzaria' with noise and obscenity until 3.00am. Having breathing difficulties and being on the third floor without a lift! Numbers of simple food items not available - eg Sticky Toffee Pudding, choriso.
