Overall a great stay. Staff friendly and helpful. Excellent breakfasts. Hotel is a little tired, but rooms clean and bed comfortable. Location perfect for Aldeburgh town and beachfront. Parking is free at the hotel or on the roads outside.

Nice bedroom overlooking sea. Comfortable beds and furniture. Hostess tray well supplied. Good bathroom for an old hotel. Staff very helpful and breakfast was excellent. Lift out of order which was a problem as my husband has mobility issues but staff moved luggage for us.

Very good value for Aldeburgh. Delightful and helpful staff in all areas. Good sized bedroom and bathroom. Only one improvement that could have been made would have been to be able to open the sash windows to allow for fresh air in the bedroom.

Great choice, the location was wonderful and as we arrived on public transport we found we could visit everywhere we wanted the same way. The room was warm and well looked after, even had bathrobes in the wardrobe. Breakfast had first class choices and was beautifully presented and cooked.

We have stayed here many times in the past and have very happy memories of our times The hotel seemed to have a tough time during and after Covid lockdowns but has bounced back. Very pleased to see the dining options are now back, the fish and chips are excellent!

Very comfortable room, lovely staff, excellent breakfast, very good dinner and very relaxing. Aldeburgh is a lovely little town and the White Lion doesn’t disappoint.

A very sad and unloved hotel. Shocking state of repair both outside and in the bedroom. Ancient, scruffy furniture, peeling wallpaper, threadbare carpet, horrible bathroom, the worst loo roll seen since Izal in my infant school loos in the 70s. No plug sockets at bedside. Sea view obscured by filthy windows 😒 Room appeared clean, comfy bed, breakfast OK, breakfast room actually quite nice relatively, very good eggs... Not the cheapest hotel we've ever stayed in but probably one of the worst.
