I really fell on my feet when I booked this hotel. A beautiful old building with a lovely outside area to sit and relax and take in the magnificent views. The hosts are super friendly and helpful. The drinks at the bar were quite cheap which is a surprise these days. The whole hotel is clean throughout and my room was very big and a super comfy bed. After a relaxing night's sleep I had a top notch cooked breakfast and carried on my way by bicycle. I really enjoyed my stay here.

There was nothing to dislike whatsoever.

The Lion Hotel was easy to find ion a Small village. We were welcomed by the owner in a most pleasant manner. The room was exactly as advertised, with a king sized bed and all the usual facilities. The bathroom was across a very small corridor and was for our exclusive use. The outdoor seating area was sheltered and welcomed the setting sun. The bar service was excellent and the meals, being very well priced, were of high quality and excellent value for money. Breakfast was provided by the owner with the words, " you can have whatever you like"; it was then personally cooked to order; it was of a very high standard and set us up for the day ahead.

Really olde-worlde place, beautiful little room, with fantastic view over the river and trees, amazing sunset, incredibly welcoming landlord Ray and landlady Janet, great tales of their travels in India, tasty authentic curry for dinner, very lively evening of local domino players, real sense of community. We loved it, will definitely return, and would recommend to anyone.

Nothing, it was all brilliant.

Situated in a lovely part of wales within easy reach of the heart of wales. Only stayed overnight so didnt get a chance to look around the area. The staff were happy to go the extra mile and it felt like I was staying with family. Clean and comfortable with lots of extras provided in the bathroom and exstensive choice for tea coffee hot chocolate facilities with biscuits. Breakfast at a time to suit not dictated, again very good, lovely fresh cold milk for cereals followed by a full English(welsh) breakfast.

It could have been down to price or availability, but the good quality free mineral water provided was from Yorkshire. Not Wales or the Malverns. Unable to think of anything else negative to say.

Hotel was quite convenient for the showground at Builth Wells. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Even to the extent that on having a flat tyre on our car they managed to sort it out. although we had a tyre inflator with us it had gone wrong. They went to the trouble of telephoning their son to bring his compressor round to reinflate the tyre very early in the morning. Lovely people!

There was'nt really anything we would criticise. Maybe slightly more choice in the menu in the evening. Having said that the Lion Hotel did not have that many rooms so it would be impractical to have an abundance of choice.

The location of the hotel is beautiful 🤩 both Janet & Ray were delightful hosts. The meals were plentiful and good value for money. Maria and other bar staff were friendly and helpful. We had an enjoyable two days stay and would definitely return. Highly recommended.

The rooms were a little old fashioned but that probably adds to its appeal. The shower in our room was a little on the small / tight for someone of my build. (6ft 2in) and my bed creaked (we had a twin room) every time I moved. Otherwise nothing major.

This family run hotel was a great little find. I stayed there two nights for work, and it was a just perfect as a base t unwind at the end of the day of extensive travelling around the mid and north Wales countryside. The hosts made me feel extremely welcome, and I would not hesitate to stay there again if my work takes me to that area in future.

Chatty, hospitable and helpful landlord with a lovely sense of humour Welcoming and homely feel - a proper pub Comfy room, plenty of teas and coffees Very good value Tasty, generous breakfast Good evening meal

Not ideal to have bathroom across the corridor, but not a big issue Top of stairs directly above the pub lounge, so might be noisy, though not a problem for us

The hotel has such a warm welcoming cozy feel to it. The rooms are clean and cozy - we loved the little shampoos and shaving kit in the bathroom. In the morning the homemade cooked breakfast was lovely. Honestly cannot fault a thing, we absolutely loved it and for the price it was amazing. Will 100% be back - it’s a little hidden treasure.
