In Aldeburgh for a couple of days to go to a concert at The Maltings, I remembered the White Lion from a previous trip over five years ago. So we booked in again and were not disappointed; from the lovely warm welcome as we arrived to our room (26 on the front corner) which was spotless and had two nice... More

Booking by phone was simple and quick. All staff were very friendly and polite. The restaurant was nice and bright and food okay. On arrival we were booked in and told where our room was, we were offered help with the luggage. The lift was an experience but not a problem! On entering the room it looked fine, bit dark... More

We had a very nice stay at the White Lion. Room 5 had a great view and was in good condition apart from a few housekeeping issues which could be viewed when you were having a bath. But then the cleaners don't take a bath before they clean! Very comfy bed and nice crisp clean bedding. A couple of comments... More

I have always wanted to stay here. A Britten fan and this year was a must. The service in the relaxed atmosphere of the brasserie was first-rate. Having stayed in Rome, Siena, Florence and Palermo recently, this hotel stands comparison with any of those establishments. I do not understand the comments from fresh 1980 especially the disparaging agist comments. We... More

Booked for one night only, wish we were able to stay longer!. perfect room overlooking the sea at reasonable rate. Service from reception to waiters to manager was excellent, nothing too much trouble. Lunch menu and quality of food superb, dinner overlooking the sea from a very nice and well furnished dining room was superb. Great breakfast, plenty of choice... More

Stayed one night during tour of East Anglia. Pleasant room had great view over the beach. Modern bright interior belies the classic exterior. Friendly and efficient staff. Many families with children (it was half term) Aldeburgh (with its Peter Grimes links) is worth a visit and hotel is well placed for walks along the beachfront. To avoid surprises worth checking...

Aldeburgh is not somewhere that springs to mind as an up-and-coming destination, but is one of the best city getaways and under-appreciated by the young (average age of visitors looks to be late 40s). The White Lion kind of echoes why the young head west the Cotswolds, or south to Spain, despite Aldeburgh beauty and amole offerings. Aldeburgh is really... More

We have just had another very pleasant half-board stay at this hotel, booked at relative short notice. The management there are progressive and are offering lots of interesting packages for the upcoming summer season, really worth a look.

Stayed 2 nights, over a bank holiday weekend so Aldeburgh was very busy. Location Right on sea front, small car park at rear ( 6/7 cars) and on street parking in front of Hotel - enough for 50 cars but full all the time we were there. Come out of Hotel front door and you are on the beach in... More
