Provider-sourced guest reviews.
They didn’t have our booking even though it was confirmed on booking.com. They were full so we had to find another place to stay which was very inconvenient as we were tired after a full day of exploring and the only available place we found was 1.5 hours drive. The member of staff said he will refund us our money but never did. I had to call the customer service myself and get the refund.
Really lovely place and excellent for the price
Comfort and food
Very friendly staff. Clean room. Easy check in.
Room was on the front so I got noise up till 11pm, then woke at 3am. Totally not the hotels fault, but making aware for future guests. The breakfast was nice, but not award winning. Sorry.
Lovely welcome by Dan and warm service from Dan and Ruby. Characterful old building, but warmly renovated and very comfortable. Comfortable bed, good shower. Dinner was very good and breakfast was excellent.
Great value for money. Very comfortable and clean room, bathroom was spotless. Full Welsh breakfast was excellent, fresh, quality food
Bala is a bit quiet on a September Monday
Breakfast included
No lift to the top floor accommodation
The location of the hotel is amazing, lovely stuff, well cleaned , worth its value
Nothing did not like,
The staff were brilliant - very welcoming and attentive. The room was spacious but cosy, and had everything needed for an enjoyable stay. The included breakfast was amazing. Very good quality food, and generous portions.
The car park is very small, and tight to manoeuvre.
Lovely staff. Great food and comfortable room.
This is an old building with old windows so there is noise from the street.
Beautiful, comfortable and made to feel very welcome.

Eigen parkeerplaats. Zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel. Prima ete .
Helaas geen lift
Good full English breakfast served to you also with a starter.
Room was a little small but comfortable bed and nice.
It’s size
Needed a bit of extra dusting in bathroom and kitchen and more pans, bowls and microwaveable containers.
Breakfast amazing would definitely stay again.
Nothing at all lovely experience.
Beautiful location. Rooms was perfect size. Bed was super comfy and the staff made the stay exceptional. Dan the manager was so friendly and accommodating, we wished we’d have booked to stay long because of this 🥰

Comfortable, spacious and well equipped room. Delicious food and THE friendliest staff. We even had a shed to keep our bikes in overnight. Particularly loved the ginger toiletries and the lemon desert with dry ice effect.

Didn’t dislike a thing, liked everything.
Lovely room right in centre of Bala. Lovely staff - very helpful and welcoming
I cant honestly think of anything. Room was hot but were in middle of heatwave.
The staff were top level, polite, energetic, funny, and always available when needed. They contributed massively to how enjoyable our stay was. The location was perfect, the atmosphere perfect, the room, the restaurant, the decor, everything was perfect.
Great place, lovely hosts and looked after us very well.
Breakfast was fabulous, evening meal we invited family who were camping at Glanllyn which everyone enjoyed (especially the Lemon). Room no 1 was very nice and clean with teabags supplied.
Had trouble with temperature in the shower
The stay was ok
Cashless i wasnt happy about. Question is. Is it even legal to go cashless. Brekfast on first morning wasnt good. So didnt eat there till brekfast on last day which was nice got to say
The rooms are nice, the food is great and the staff are very friendly. The position, smack in the middle of town, is perfect.
Convenient high street location. Rooms and food excellent. Welcoming staff. A great experience.

Alles. Vor allem das Restaurant und die Bar im Haus.
Everything, parking good, location good, rooms comfortable with great facilities and cleanliness. Food great. Staff particularly on arrival, around the restaurant all very very attentive polite, professional some of the best staff I’ve experienced in a number of years from a restaurant and bar environment. Will definitely be arranging a return visit to Plas Ye Dre.

Lovely room! You would never know the rooms had had dogs in them. Our own dogs loved it too! Lovely resturant and bar. Great location!
That we didn’t stay for longer haha!
Food was great as was the location
Parking not clearly signposted.
Perfect location, the rooms were lovely and the beds were comfy! The food was amazing as well and the staff were very helpful.
The room is spacious. My boy is happy with his private corner. Mattress are comfy. The staffs are nice, polite and helpful. I have a great stay in the hotel.
Everything from breakfast to the room to the bar was excellent!
Nothing, we loved it all, thank you!

Very clean, good quality room and welcomed by all members of staff. Very helpful with our toddler.
A nice luxury would be aircon during these hot days
Charming and clean with off site parking - Staff were extremely friendly and accommodated an early breakfast. Bistro on site serves very well presented , tasty food - I will return
Cosy
De locatie, het vriendelijke personeel, de hygiëne, goede bedden, … ben op doorreis in de VK.
Minder geschikt voor kinderen, heb geen kinderen…ik kan mij goed inbeelden dat zij zich hier snel gaan vervelen. Voor een koppel of mensen die rust waarderen, TOP locatie! Twee nachten gebleven…geen herrie op de gangen of waar dan ook! De bar is bv ook om 22u gesloten, wat goed is voor de rust!!!
Great location, friendly staff, off road parking, comfortable bed!

This pub is right on the high street and has free parking for guests at the rear. The staff are friendly and helpful and the food is out of this world I can't recommend highly enough.

Great location, great food and very helpful and nice staff. I also liked the interior decorations.
The room was a bit too hot as it was too hot outside. There was a fan, which helped a bit, but given my room’s exposure, the sun stayed directly on it until sunset, which kept it hot for long into the night.
Excellent choice of food varied menu. Service efficient. Warm atmosphere and welcoming. I would certainly recommend.
Centrally located hotel. We had an in room issue upon checking in, this was swiftly addressed to our satisfaction. Nice room, a little hot due to extreme weather, there was a fan in the room which helped somewhat. Staff were great, really friendly. Breakfast was really good (didn't have an evening meal but others eating seemed happy with what they had. Would I stay again- yes.
Room was spacious and comfortable. Staff were helpful and efficient.

We liked everything lovely stay
Highly recommend. We had a fabulous overnight stay ahead of the Big Bala Swim. Our room was very comfortable and quiet, well furnished, including a modern spacious bathroom. We also dined in the restaurant and were welcomed by Dan and the team -service and timing at table made for a very relaxing atmosphere, attentive but with ‘space’ between courses. Drinks options were extensive including local gin. Nothing was too much trouble, all staff were pleasant and engaging, with a great gluten free menu. All locally sourced produce, which was both tasty and presently beautifully, especially the fish cakes and cheeseboard! Thanks again.
Nothing.
A wonderful place to stay. We were made to feel very welcome. Our room was very spacious and comfortable. There was an excellent choice of beers, and our evening meal was cooked to perfection. Our breakfast was very tasty and generous. It was the best cooked breakfast we’d had for a long time. Thank you to everyone at Plas yn Dre.

Nothing I didn’t like
Staff were friendly and the bed was comfortable. The room was perfectly pleasant and quiet. Parking available.
Not 5*. A little pricey. The chefs couldn’t make an omelette for dinner or breakfast which was very odd & overall the kitchens weren’t good at dealing with allergies as everything is pre made. The room wasn’t that clean. Many cobwebs and the shower area had a fair amount of black mold and discolouration.
Good secure motorcycle parking. Good rooms good staff and food is exceptionally high standard.
Nothing negative
Very well located with parking at the back. Bar area and restaurant both lovely settings. Bedroom was huge, comfortable excellent facilities and with breakfast was an absolute bargain. Lots of local Welsh products used which was nice to see. The staff were the most polite people we’ve ever met and couldn’t do enough for you. We I’ll definitely be back this place is a gem!

Very good staff. All were welcoming, friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and clean. Fresh towels and replenished tea, coffee and milk daily. Veggie breakfast was great with a big choice to suit all tastes.
The only downside was the limited parking but to be fair there was on street parking along the main street.
Quality of food, service, and room was excellent. All staff were friendly, professional, and very helpful
Betjeningen var fantastisk.
The bed was comfortable
It would have been better if the coffee served in the morning was served in a small cafetiere. You can't beat good coffee!
It was the most wonderful experience. The staff, the food, the room, all beautiful. And my little dog harry was made welcome all over the hotel.
There was nothing to dislike
Clean, friendly, good food and good location
I struggle to think of anything that would make an improvement.
Lovely hotel room was beautiful.lovely staff
Uiterst vriendelijke bediening, ook genoten van een voortreffelijk avondmaal en heel fijn ontbijt
What we liked the property was the location which is right at the town centre , the room was big and immaculate .Staffs were very accommodating and helpful. Breakfast was excellent 👌
The hotel was lovely. Very clean and beautifully decorated. Our bedroom had good quality tasteful furniture and the bed was very comfortable. Everything was spotless. From the minute we walked through the door the staff were fantastic, very welcoming and happy to help. The food was exceptional and excellent value for the quality.
The hotel doesn’t have a lift so no disabled access rooms. This is an observation for information.
Onwijs vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel, fijne ruime schone kamer en lekker ontbijt elke dag!
Klein beetje gehorige kamer omdat ik boven het restaurant zat, maar ik sliep er goed doorheen.
Staff were first class as was the eve I g meal and breakfast. Stayed here twice previously each time a great experience.
Good breakfast. Friendly staff. Nice, clean rooms. Plenty of bike storage
What a gem of a place. Fantastic room and great staff. Thanks
Bedroom was roomy, finish was very high very welcoming hotel.
Breakfast half a mushroom ?? Hash brown was couldn't long enough was soggy Would of liked to help my self to soft drinks eg juices etc

Off street parking for motorcycles to the rear was helpful. Shona made us all very welcome and provided an enjoyable Breakfast experience. Tomos was most efficient looking after our needs and evening meal , food was good and the service was excellent.
Tomos was very helpful and the food on both days was excellent.
Parking was very tight at the rear of the hotel.
Staff were lovely and helpful , rooms were clean warm and comfy, perfect night away
Food was fabulous, sunday roasts were exceptionally good, our 18month grandson enjoyed the childrens menu, breakfasts very generous portions well cooked from great ingredients. Extremely attentive and friendly staff, nothing was any trouble!
The en suite shower room was a little cramped and the shower would have benefited from some sort of rail to hold on to.
Beautiful room, lovely staff who couldn’t do more to make our stay perfect even providing a packed breakfast for our walk up Snowdon.
Amazing hotel and very clean. The room was very well laid out and had a tv in both areas so we could watch something different. We ate in the restaurant and the food was very good. We didn't have time for breakfast in the morning but the guy on the front desk made us 2 sandwiches to take away which was very nice of him. We will definitely stay here again next time we are visiting the karting track nearby. Thanks
Nothing everything was very nice.
Property is beautiful and obviously well cared for. We loved the feel and how it leans into its history. Beds were very comfortable and the showers perfect. As for the food, all we can say is it is amazing!!! Breakfasts were excellent quality and very yummy. We had dinner at the property too and we were not disappointed!!! Fantastic!!
Friendly attentive staff. Manager Dan was an amazing host. The location and quality of the hotel was excellent, with absolute cleanliness and great attention to detail. Would highly recommend.
Clean, comfortable and really excellent food. Both our evening meal and the breakfast was amazing.

Accommodation. food. Friendly staff.
Fantastische kamer (nummer 4) , heel ruim en zelfs met een bankje erbij om op te zitten. Mooi groot bed en een fijne regendouche. Personeel is zeer vriendelijk en welwillend met een speciale vermelding voor Dan. Hij wil duidelijk alles doen om het zijn gasten naar de zin te maken en dat voel je. Hotel is zeer hondvriendelijk en de hond mocht gewoon bij ons liggen in het restaurant gedeelte.
Enige kleine minpuntje is misschien de locatie midden in het dorp aan de doorgaande weg. Je hoort het verkeer op je kamer en je zit op het (grote) terras vrij dicht bij de straat. Maar wij vonden het geen probleem.
Modern and very clean, great location with friendly and incredibly helpful staff
This is the third time staying here. The staff are very friendly and helpful . The rooms are clean and beds comfortable
