Room, although bright and comfortable, was hot and stuffy, opened the window and turned off the radiator but was shame couldn't open the window more but I guess it's for safety reasons. As can't drink the tap water, a couple of extra bottles of water would have been good. You can ask for more but it's easy to forget.

Great breakfast, lots of choice, had the cooked English breakfast which was lovely. Room was comfortable, had to open the window and turn off the radiator as was hot, shame couldn't open the window more but I guess it's for safety reasons.

Nothing

The service at the hotel was excellent, situated directly across the road from the beach which was perfect for walks.

Generally everything was great. We have stayed at the White Lion before and this room was possibly not as good as last time but we had a lovely time.

Staff were lovely. Breakfast very good. Have stayed at the White Lion before so we know and like the hotel. We love Aldeburgh and have stayed many times. Large bathroom- useful as needed to dry clothes due to the December weather (Did not eat in hotel as several nice restaurants in Aldeburgh that we know and love

The check-out time of 10:30 is ridiculous for a Sunday morning departure.

Everything was great except for the check-out time of 10:30am, which is ridiculous for a Sunday morning departure.

The dog friendly room was very basic and shabby. Just because we have a dog we expect the same level of hotel room. The sound proofing was rubbish I listened the the man next door coughing his guts up throughout the night. It took over a hour for a toasted sandwich in the brassiere which was a shame. They gave it to us for free in the end.

The lobby area was very nice with a relaxed vibe. Comfortable bed. Amazing location Great breakfast

If I’m being picky the lighting in the dining room in the evening is a little too harsh and bright.

Wonderful location for the sea and the town everything is within walking distance

Personally I found the green vegetables with the roast undercooked otherwise fine

Breakfast was good

No real issues at all expect that the dinky TV didn't even have BBC channels. Weird.

Charm of hotel and location. Two good restaurants attached to the hotel.

Hotel car park was small , so no room to park and in afternoon, most of the parking spaces close to the hotel were occupied. Working at the weekend, the breakfast start at 08:00 meant later than normal start to the day.

Easy check in, excellent breakfast

I've stayed a few times now, and it is pleasant enough. I would say just two things - 1) I was put in the same room I have been in before, and it really needs a revamp and a lick of paint. Overdue. 2) Veggie full English breakfast on the first day was really great. Well presented. 2 eggs, 2 really nice veg sausages, tomato, mushroom, hash brown, beans, smashed avocado and spinach that was a lovely touch. The next day was not great. 1 egg, 1 sausage, no mushroom, no spinach, no avocado. Different chef on duty maybe, but needs consistency.

The location is perfect for the beach and local area
