Single bedroom, comfortable and clean. Staff very friendly and efficient. Hotel well located for trips to see Portmeirion and the coastal castles of Harlech and Criccieth
All facilities good and were clean and tidy. Decor appears a bit traditional and looses some attractiveness, This would not stop me from visiting again
Room was clean, bed was really comfortable, slept really well,a little warm as radiators were on but a fan is provided, staff were really friendly, breakfast is excellent but the time slot of 07:30-09:30 is a little early, parking is really good with a roof above which stops any seagull mess👍…. Overall an excellent place to stay

Fine for a night
Bar, breakfast, restaurant are lovely. Staff are friendly. Room was very clean. Location was great. Free parking on site.
We were staying in the patio rooms which had one window looking into an indoor patio area. For me felt a bit claustrophobic as no window on the outside. Pipes are loud. Was fine for one night but wouldn't want to have stayed longer.
Great hotel. Really friendly staff. Comfortable quiet rooms. Lovely bar / restaurant area. Undercover car park.
We had a great time. Highly recommended
Check-in was smooth and staff were friendly. Breakfast was great. Room was quiet but tired, very small and not super clean. It was stuffy at night.

Needs a refresh in places
Hotel feels tired and has a not so great smell. Bathroom really cramped. Room wasn’t serviced as requested, but reception friendly and helpful. Doors banging shut made the walls wobble and can hear other gets on the phone etc… Parking is a real squeeze, but at least they have some. Bed was comfy.
Comfortable bed. POORLY insulated room .Adjacent rooms snoring all night. Room was in a courtyard .Public walk way had full view of room/ bed when opened . Strange curtain arrangement , on the inside , to cover door/ window .Bathroom door would not close ,due to warped door frame . Female bar person persisted in throwing , loudly, empty bottles in bin under the bar counter .. Breakfast and breakfasts staff , excelent .
Hotel très bien placé pour visiter la région du Snowdenia et la péninsule de Llyn.
Bar et restaurant soignés et rénovés, très accueillant.Restauration de qualité.
Par contre les chambres ne sont pas à la hauteur des 4 étoiles affichées à l'accueil ! 170 euros avec petit dejeuner par nuit pour avoir une chambre très petite et une SDE très miniscule !
Staff were very friendly. The food was excellent. Was made to feel very welcome. Had a room on the ground floor which was lovely. Staff were very helpful during the electric outage. A great place and intend to return very soon
