The White Lion Hotel

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

Fabulous 2 day break in this seafront hotel. We had booked an inner room originally but on arrival asked for a Seaview upgrade. Hotel not fully booked so got the upgrade for an additional £100 when it should have been over £200. Absolute result.
Staff very obliging and friendly. It has been a very enjoyable experience.
Highly recommended.

We were staying locally for the weekend and chose Aldeburgh to meet with some family who were nearby for the weekend. We had a total of 9 adults, 4 dogs and our 4 month baby. We were just looking to have a couple of drinks as planned to have fish and chips in the town. The hotel staff welcomed us with open arms, an excellent and comfy environment where we managed to find a seating area to accommodate us all. We spent more time than planned as we felt very welcomed.

We had attempted to go to another establishment locally beforehand, called the ‘White Hart Inn’. However, were refused entry because my 4 month old daughter was under 18 and not eligible to be in the pub.

In hindsight, we were very thankful for this bizarre event, and to find this excellent place. It’s safe to say we will be back.

Just returned from a 2 night break at the White lion and cannot fault the place. Really good Indian, Sea Spice on the Friday night and the best Pork dish I have ever tasted. Rooms have everything you need, our room was directly opposite the fresh fish sheds, perfect location

Lovely breakfast and superb staff attending to all the tables.
Returned for Sunday Lunch in March 24. An absolute delight, all served piping hot and puddings that will burst your taste buds.
The Chef is amazing!

Excellent service and sea views from our room. Very accommodating for our children and dog. Excellent breakfast. We will return.

We only visited for drinks this time and were very impressed with your friendly and helpful staff who welcomed us in with directions to your lift (my Mother is a wheelchair user). We look forward to visiting you again when we are back in Aldeburgh, fabulous cocktail too!

Welcoming and friendly staff, excellent for a 3 star hotel. Room was very hot, but a very good fan was provided. Breakfast had lots of choice and beautifully cooked. Excellent location right on the sea front but not at all noisy. Small car park at rear but there is free parking directly outside the hotel which is in high demand but if you return to the hotel early evening, there is usually a space available. There are other car parks nearby otherwise. Sea Spice restaurant was great and popular with a good atmosphere.

The hotel is perfectly located with views out to sea. Free parking opposite with no time restriction was a real bonus. All the staff we met were very friendly, polite and helpful. Breakfast was lovely, nice to have some different options. The room was spacious and comfortable and the en suite bathroom was huge. We will definitely being staying here again.

A historic hotel on the sea front , very close to the shingle beach very close to the huts selling fresh fish direct from the boats.

The main floor has been modernised and is bright and comfortable.

Upstairs, the age of the building becomes more apparent with numerous different levels before reaching our room. This was modest in size, but still had a double bed table a couple of chairs. The bathroom had a shower rather than a bath, no problem.

The only issue with the room was the sash windows these were old, one where the ropes had failed, meaning the only way to open the window and keeping open was to wedge it open.

Breakfast is served in the brasserie, full menu, served with no buffet (a positive in itself). Good food fantastic staff a real asset to the hotel

Would happy stay again.

Great hotel in charming seaside town. Lovely friendly and helpful staff. The Sea Spice is a fabulous Indian restaurant, with interesting and innovative dishes. A selection of side dishes works very well for vegetarians. There is a lift and a bedroom with a wet room, ideal for guests with mobility issues.

Right opposite the beach.
2 minutes to high St.
Lovely staff
We had Indian meal which was excellent.
Would go back again.

Had a wonderful two nights stay at this hotel. Parking is on the sea front so can be a little hard to find a space, but if you arrive around check in time the beach slowly starts to empty. Staff were lovely and so polite. The room was beautiful and clean. Breakfast was lovely. Would definitely stay again.

We had a great stay at this lovely hotel. Amy and Donna (the waiting staff at breakfast) were really kind and friendly. We can't wait to stay here again soon! Our room (12a) was great: really clean and had a lovely view.

Very enjoyable over night stay, service was a bit slow in the restaurant at dinner, though very good at breakfast

Although we had a little blip the first night, I would still give this hotel a five star rating based on it service and staff. Excellent is all I can say. It's an old building, with plenty of stairs, so that took care of our daily exercise routine, but the hospitality was spot on, no waiting around, no grumpy faces and first class food help make this a lovely weekend - thank you so much!

Not my first time here, and as always, it was all good, especially the staff, they are super helpful and kind.

Lovely, good spec, spacious, top class service. Highly recommended.

Everything about our stay was excellent. The staff were attentive and accommodating. The only downfall of our stay was the fact the room was SO hot. Could really do with having some aircon as it made sleeping quite uncomfortable. The windows didn’t open fully so was hard to get any fresh air in there. Other than this we couldn’t fault our stay. Thank you!

Very cosy and clean room with a beautiful view.
Our favourite place to stay in Aldeburg. Will definitely come back ..
