Great location and the sea view room we had was lovely with high ceiling and huge windows. The room-darkening curtains kept us cool in spite of the heatwave and the bed was very comfortable. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and even our dog was made to feel welcome in the dining room. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to come back soon.

The room looked out on to scaffolding which we were not happy about, also the TV kept loosing the signal, I went down to ask if there was another room and straight away I was found the choice of two other rooms which were more to our liking, The staff in the bar and restaurant were really friendly and very good at their jobs, over all we had a very nice stay.

Excellent value and great location. Do not opt out of the breakfast. It is fantastic and you’ll pay more and get less trying to find something as good outside

We had a nice stay , the hotel is in a great location but is very tired on the outside, it is an old property and seaside hotels can be a bit weather beaten, we did ask to be moved to a seaside view but moved back to our original room as the new room with a view had a lot of damp in it and not as nicely decorated so not worth the extra £60 a night they wanted to charge us!! Also bear in mind that the seagulls are very noisy especially at 5 30am when the fishing boats come in to the beach outside the hotel

Second stay at this hotel. Staff were all very nice. Public areas of the hotel were really nice but thought the room looked a little tired. Nice bar and the Brasserie looked nice although we didn’t have dinner there. The breakfast though was good. Right on the sea front, pubs nearby, short walk to the high street with some nice shops, cafes and eateries.

Check in was very good and organised. Room was generally good. Bathroom was clean and bed was comfortable. The only disappointment was the sea views wasn’t brilliant as the windows were dirty on the outside, and the exterior generally looked uncared for. Breakfast was very good.

Old Aldeburgh

Excellent location, hotel has friendly attentive staff. The building is a little tired but the character very much suits Aldeburgh. Sache windows rattle a bit and make for difficult ventilation. Hotel room probably too warm for our comfort. Room and en suite were clean and equipped with everything we needed.

Great location for exploring Aldeburgh and the Suffolk coast. Very pleasant bar and restaurant areas. The Sea Spice Indian restaurant was particularly enjoyable. It’s an old building so there’s lots of stairs and at the time of writing the lift is out of service. The bedroom we occupied was small and comfortable for a short break, but the bathroom was a little dated. However, overall we felt it was good value and we would be happy to stay here again in the future.

Lovely comfortable room, but shower very weak. (We were on the top floor which was why, but staff took a note of the problem when I mentioned it on leaving). Staff courteous and helpful, and communal areas comfortable and relaxing. Nice stay.

Wonderful time

We had a lovely stay at the White Lion. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The room was spotlessly clean. cleaned every day and towels changed. Our room was a little small but that was our fault for booking late. Breakfast and evening meals were delicious. We are booking to go again. Fully recommend.
