The White Lion Hotel

05.02.2025

This trip was a group of three friends. We had a lovely time in this super clean relaxed atmosphere hotel. The location is perfect right on the seafront and close to the start of the main street where all the shops, cafes and restaurants can be found. Although we didn’t eat dinner in the restaurant, as we were at another venue for a birthday meal, the breakfast was lovely and a huge choice. We wanted to have individual bedrooms and were able to book three doubles with no supplements, which was fantastic and in our opinion very good value. This was a perfect short break with friends.

Great hotel a good price would revisit again

We stayed overnight and were delighted to be able to have our 2 little dogs join us. Great location and the Indian meal was fabulous - more on a par with Dishoom than your usual local Indian restaurant. We had a sea view facing window which was lovely. It looks a bit shabby from the outside, and the windows need a lot of repair work and to be cleaned, but I'm being picky as I would definitely recommend a stay here.

Otel tarihi bir binada. Temizlik iyi, personeller ilgili. Sabah kahvaltisi geleneksel İngiliz kahvaltisi ve mükemmel. Sessiz ve denize sıfır manzarası var. Sabahları sahil çok sessiz oluyor. Kafa dinlemek için iyi. Otelin konumu güzel.

Lovely stay, (been before). Staff were all great, very helpful & the location is superb. Only criticism would be our room was a bit old looking & tired. Very clean throughout

05.10.2024

Public areas not clean, room very tired for the amount we paid, overall very disappointing, the staff were helpful which was the only pleasant thing Sea spice Indian was really good food

Lovely location. Hotel has a faded charm. Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast excellent. Would recommend.

Birthday night stay. Upgraded room to a sea view and chocs in our room so we thank you enormously for that. The bed was comfortable and we enjoyed our stay particularly the breakfast. Would not stop us coming again but the sash window doesn't open well and the room gets quite hot so we used the provided fan. Perhaps the bathroom could do with a little makeover also but these are minor things. The staff are always excellent. See you again hopefully sooner rather than later.

We stayed for 3 nights. The staff are wonderful and the food was very good. Unfortunately, the standard of room, bathroom and exterior of the hotel did not match the quality of the public areas, food or staff. Black mould, which can be toxic, was evident around the bath and shower area. The room lacked ventilation, the window could only be opened a few inches. There was no fridge available the room. The window frames, both exterior and interior, are rotting. It's a shame that the overall good standard is let down by the standard of the rooms.

Overpriced small room.

Great hotel for a business visit. Lovely location, although parking is in high demand. The room was lovely, if a little cramped for what they attempted to fit in it. However, the room had everything I could hope for, it was comfortable, clean and even provided a few essentials. The view was lovely. We enjoyed dinner in the adjoining Indian restaurant which was excellent. The breakfast was to order, but great portions. Overall, I'd more than happily stay here again.

Very good. We stayed for one night with two small dogs who were given their own beds and “welcome” gifts. The room was very clean and much larger than we had expected. The hotel only has parking for a very few cars but we were able to park opposite the hotel’s front facing the sea. This had no time limit and was free. We had breakfast and it was very nice. They had a special section reserved for people with dogs so that those without dogs did not have to be near them. A very good idea. Staff friendly and the hotel smartly decorated and set out in a welcoming way. My husband and l were very pleased with our experience at the White Lion Hotel, Aldeburgh.

Right on the sea front with fabulous views and a short walk to shops, pubs and restaurants. The outside of the hotel looks in need of a lick of paint but inside is lovely, comfortable and well furnished. The staff are amazing and all went out of their way to make our stay special. The breakfasts are a real treat.

Excellent welcome and all staff helpful and cheerful. Breakfast choices and quality excellent. Bed and bed linen made for superb nights sleep. Location: it’s Aldeburgh, it’s unique.

We have stayed at the White Lion Hotel on 2 occasions - once on our honeymoon in 1978 and this last time on our 46th Wedding Anniversary. It was great both times!

Good breakfast. Room functional, comfy, clean and quiet.

26.07.2024

A great location but let down by the rooms. Needed a bit of TLC; chipped paint, flickering lights and an outdated bathroom. Most staff were friendly but a bit forgetful with orders. Bar and restaurant areas were well appointed.

28.06.2024

Poor service from managers, and a terrible indian food

29.09.2023

Booked a breakfast on 13th June 2024. Wow! What a difference in service and overall quality. The food was served cold. There were 3 things missing of the plates. The waiter was disinterested in our comment and gave a simple 'sorry'. We paid the bill but we're disgruntled with the overall standard. Will not go again as previously this restaurant was of a high quality. Sorry, but this time your staff let you down both in the kitchen and on the floor.

Dog friendly. A beautiful hotel. The staff could not have been more friendly and hospitable. The food was excellent (sea bass was to die for and very reasonably priced!). Tess my dog was given her own bed, treats and a bowl. I will be back
