Formerly the White Lion
Beautiful historic building with lots of character, and also lots of rooms to choose where you would like to eat. Food was plentiful and tasty, very good value. We stayed overnight in a very spacious comfortable room.
We stayed last night and £56 fot two was excellent. Room lovely. Excellent service. Great customer service and fast. The only silly issue was the menu's need cleaning/changing as they are dirty. But everything else perfect. Lovely lit fires and a lovely warm hotel. Beautiful food. Will come back
Decent rooms, an interesting building, and staff were great. The drinks were very cheap, always handy. Just a note, parking is in the public car park behind the hotel, paid via an app on your phone (see photo).
Wasn’t planned visit and only spent an evening in Ruthin. Price for two for one night was the most reasonable we found. We unexpectedly travelled up to Ruthin from South Devon and booked the Castle an hour before arrival. The town and area is great, the look of the Castle Hotel is impressive. Rooms great, mixed grill for dinner was great. Staff, super nice, hard working and relaxed. Breakfast was all you would need to start the day off right. thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Sounds like I’m advertising spoons for commission!!! So as a negative, the only thing we found annoying with room 105 was a buzzing sound which disturbed our sleep a bit, we thought it was the next door bathroom fan, we found out it was the electric consumer unit, before going going to bed, If you take your door card out of the “slot” that keeps the electrics on, the buzzing is not as loud, it would mean not having any lights but will be quieter. We’ve given it 5 stars because after a long trip finding this hotel was better than we had expected to find. Ruthin is a really nice place to visit. The Castle is in a great position in the centre of town, parking at the time was right outside. As a sort of bonus, the Castle Hotel was one of only 6 or so of the 55 Spoons hotels to be mentioned in this months Spoons magazine and we just happened to be there!! ( I’m easily pleased). Jo & Steve.
The atmosphere inside was nice and quiet. Nobody was shouting. The bar staff could have been a bit quicker to serve. The menu was varied and sectioned off making it easier to find what you wanted. Payment is taken when you ordered. The food arrived quickly and was hot. There was condiments on a table close by so the table wasn't cluttered. The batter on the fish was very good on both occasions we ate there. Both times we ordered off the smaller plate option but the difference between the fish on the two days was not the same. The new cocktail with R Whites raspberry lemonade was delicious. The only problem I wanted the drink making upto a pint. The member of staff didn't know what to do, so made me two normal sized drinks. If we are ever in Ruthin again we will definitely revisit The Castle Hotel.
