Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were nice, although a bit tired from previous guests, and some refurbishment seems to be underway. The price felt a bit high considering the obvious repairs needed in the bathroom, but it was still a good experience. The service was attentive and the location was perfect for exploring North Wales.
My stay at the hotel was nice overall. The rooms were large and comfortable, albeit a bit warm. The service was friendly and accommodating, and the location was convenient for exploring North Wales. Unfortunately, the dining experience was disappointing with very limited options.
The hotel provided a mix of experiences, with the rooms being clean and equipped but showing signs of wear and having some inconveniences such as noise and temperature issues. The service was exceptional, particularly from some staff members, although not consistent throughout the day. The location offered a peaceful setting near Snowdonia, and the dining experience varied from excellent to underwhelming. Price might not fully match the overall experience.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. While the location was fantastic, right in the heart of Snowdonia National Park, and the staff were super friendly and efficient, there were a few drawbacks that affected my experience. The rooms were constantly disturbed by noise from other guests and leaked water onto the floor, plus I was disappointed that my room was in an annex behind the main hotel. The dining experience was passable but not outstanding. Overall, it was a decent stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel had a charming period style in an excellent location in the center of Betws-y-coed. The rooms were lovely, although some updating is needed. Service was superb overall, but there were small disappointments like extra charges. The dining experience, while disorganized at times, provided just the right amount of food. The facilities were well-maintained, with some areas needing tender loving care.
