The Lion, Hotel and Restaurant in Torfaen

My wife and I have just had a wonderful night at the Lion. All staff from the barman to the waitresses were an asset to the hotel and to them i would love to give our thanks.Our room was clean and perfectly adequate with a beautiful bathroom.Our evening meal was absaloutley fabulous with first class ingredients and cooked to perfection and full welsh breakfast was huge and delicious in their wonderful little restaurant.It was the hottest day of the year and the room was very warm and we had to have the window open where there was some shouting and noise throughout the night from late night/morning revellers, but this definitely no fault of the hotel.

Stayed on business, the en suite double room was compact but had everything I needed including a small desk. Most importantly the staff were incredibly friendly and the food was amazing both in selection and quality. The included breakfast was fantastic. Very good selection of drinks including some very nice local options. Very pleasant short drive from here to Ebbw Vale where I was working, but a far superior experience at the Lion to the chain hotels located there.

The Lion offered friendly hospitality in the pub where we met many local people over drinks. Our room was first class all the way -- comfortable with great beds and super amenities. The dinner menu was classy and the food was delicious. Grab your reservation now!

Fantastic food, wonderful atmosphere, comfy bed, friendly and helpful staff. Made our special weekend away perfect. Definitely staying here again in the future. Best burger I've ever eaten!! Thank you.

The host was welcoming and accommodating. The food did not live up to our expectations, disappointing for the money.

First visit here, had lunch a starter and a main and it was amazing.I had the Moroco trio and the chicken cooked in a leek and blue cheese sauce. So good. Will return again soon

Lovely meal in a great location. Locally sourced produce on the menu, creative dishes and polite, helpful staff.

Lunch following a visit to the BIG PIT. Excellent meal and service, must recommend the hotel's own beer Lions pride.

Fabulous service, delicious food, great atmosphere, very friendly. Will be eating here again. Thank you

Great hotel to stay at. Rooms are good and clean. Breakfast is very good . Food is 5 star quality and very good value, the chef is exceptional. I stayed on business and the room was great with desk space and very comfortable. One word of caution, there can be loud music but it is over by 11pm. Definitely recommended this hotel and I will definitely go back.
