    would be happy to recommend for a rapid stop

    Comfortable room, comfortable shower, with a great power shower that made for a refreshing morning and a delicious vegetarian breakfast to start the day. The fastest Wi-Fi I’ve ever had in a hotel!

    cozy room
    delicious meal
    live music
    limited parking

    Had an amazing one-night stay, enjoying the cozy double room and the delicious evening meal that really hit the spot. The live music and spa treatments were perfect for unwinding after a long day. The only slight downside was the limited parking options, but it didn't take away from our fantastic experience! 😊

    Consider asking about nearby dining options before 7 PM, as some local restaurants close early.

    Cozy stay with stunning views

    I had a nice one night stay with my partner. The food was delish, and we loved the beautiful views from our room. Super friendly staff made us feel right at home. Just a heads up, some of the chips were kinda dry with the meal. Can't complain too much about the location though, it's perfect for exploring!

    The building stands out with its prominent stone lions and charming facade along the high street, giving it a distinctive character. A variety of dining options are available, from simple snacks to full meals, perfect for tired travelers returning from a day of activities.

    Upon arrival, the confusion around room reservations led to being split into separate rooms, which wasn’t ideal for our group. The breakfast area struggled with overcrowding and items running out, such as juices and bread, which could be inconvenient during peak hours. Installed shower sliding doors varied in access ease, with some rooms presenting tricky entries/exits. The advertised pub quiz didn’t materialize, leaving us looking for alternatives instead. while the offerings seemed fine, it felt a tad mishandled, lacking the seamlessness expected given the price.

    welcoming staff
    comfortable room
    lack of gluten-free options
    noisy surroundings
    limited dining choices

    The staff were incredibly welcoming, creating a warm atmosphere throughout my stay. The room was clean and comfortable, with a spacious bathroom that added to the relaxation. Breakfast stood out with its great variety and perfectly cooked options, though a gluten-free alternative for the bread would enhance the experience. Convenient onsite parking and a central location made it easy to explore the area, especially nearby attractions like the National Whitewater Centre.

    Charming atmosphere with a cozy stay

    Would recommend for a weekend vacation

    Comfortable room, friendly staff, with easy access to a well-cooked breakfast and on-site parking, which made our stay enjoyable and stress-free, especially since we arrived a short distance from Liverpool John Lennon Airport.

    Was all great.

    spacious room
    friendly staff
    clean room
    confusing parking
    limited dining options

    the white lion royal hotel is a great spot for a comfy stay, really spacious and clean rooms, and the location is on the high street which is super convenient. loved the bar and restaurant, they were nice and well kept. even better, the staff were really friendly, especially the girl with blonde hair who served us. we had a large en-suite bathroom that was in good order. perfect for a couple getaway!

    but the parking directions were kinda confusing, and i wish there were more options for vegetarians in the menu.
