The property is a little dated, however, it was clean and comfortable and the breakfast was excellent. The hotel is on a quiet road which is great for a good nights sleep. The location is great for getting out and about to visit all the North Wales landmarks we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Great Accommodation with Great Service.

Really good service from the moment we arrived. Offered to dry our soggy clothes from a snowdon trip and also kept the bar open as long as we wanted on the night. Will definitely be back!

Hidden Gem or Duster Required

Hidden in the heart of Snowdonia, Elen’s Castle Hotel promises adventure, stunning views, and a warm welcome… but is it worth your pot o’ gold? 🍀 We Travelling Leprechauns checked in for a night, ready for a magical stay. Here’s what we found: ✅ Location – GOLD COIN! A dream spot for hikers & adventurers! ✅ Staff – GOLD COIN! Friendlier than a pub on St. Paddy’s Day! ✅ Facilities – GOLD COIN! Cosy, charming, and full o’ character! ✅ Comfort – GOLD COIN! Slept like a leprechaun on a pile o’ gold! Cleanliness – OH DEAR… Dust be gatherin’ like it’s settlin’ in for winter! £125 a night – Worth it or too dear for what ye get? Would we stay again? Aye, but we’d pack a feather duster next time!

A perfect place to stay

Elen’s Castle Hotel proved to be the perfect place for a few days away in Wales. The Hotel was clean, tidy, Covid safe, welcoming and comfortable. The staff were very friendly! The food from the restaurant was amazing! There was a good choice and between us, a family of four and we ate there both nights we were there, every course was perfect! We will definitely be back - thank you!
