Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Great location within walking distance to the mountain railway station. Plenty of parking. Good bar, very friendly staff, a small but ample menu. The fish and chips were lovely!
Shower was lukewarm but ok. I travelled by motorcycle and was soaking wet on arrival. Somewhere to dry clothes/gear would have been a very welcome bonus.
Convenient location Comfortable bed Recently painted walls in the corridor
Feels dated , quite expensive for what you get
Bed and location is amazing
By money was quite expensive may be due to bank holiday
Excellent location to explore Llanberis and climb Snowdon. Extremely dog friendly and electric point to charge car.
Bathrooms need modernising.
Very friendly team and great food. Best hotel we had on our Wales trip!
Location was perfect for what we wanted to do.

Coffee mugs could be without stain
Love the location and staff, after a 7 hour drive due to traffic we were greeted with kindness very late in the evening. Beds are comfortable, slept well ready for the climb up snowdon. Staff offer a lot of advice on the area making your trip even better.
Nice area, close to everything, good food in the restaurant.

Looks tired,
Good location, good parking, space in the rooms, bar was a plus. Friendly staff very helpful
Hot water not working drains slow to drain down. Staff did try to sort not end of the world
Staff is awesome and helpful. Location is good, large bedroom.
No way to have a drink at 9h30 on Wednesday. This hotel been also a pub that's a pity. The hotel room was a bit old (furniture, painting, etc) while the price was a bit higher than other hotels if the same category in the area.
Really welcoming. Hot rooms, window didnt open much... but that is during a heat wave so I imagine perfect in colder times! Double room compact but nicely decorated, clean and comfortable. Shame there was no digital tv (just freeview), that would have been perfect. Great food, great garden...especially for smokers, great vibe and location.
Location was great. Staff were great when we had no milk in our room. Found a plaster on the bed sheets which put me off a bit. There was also lots of loose strands of hair in the bunk beds.
Milk in the room. Bedding checked
Nice accommodation. Lovely staff. Dave the manager was very informative and very amiable. Gave great advice and always had time for us.
Comfy bed
Food
Dave was an absolute gentleman.
Goed personeel, goede locatie, lekker eten

Great location and helpful staff. Loved the quiet beer garden at the back.
Confusing breakfast menu
Great location to local walks and Snowden.
The room stunk of wet dog. The carpet was hoovered but covered in filthy stains. I wouldn't let my children walk on it without their shoes on. Under the bunkbed was full of spiders and clearly never been hoovered. The bottom bunk was so close to the ground it stunk of the filthy carpet, so my two sons used the middle and top bunk. Would not recommend u till they invest in a carpet washer.
I like the location and the staff helped us as a guide prior to hiking
Need more big rooms
The location was great. Really friendly staff and very comfortable clean room
It was all great
Location was brilliant

Bra beliggenhet, hyggelig personale, god hjemmelaget mat i restauranten.
Veldig varmt rom, dårlig lydisolering, ingen heis.
Staffs were very friendly.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Perfect location for exploring Snowdon and Lake Padarn. Large room and bathroom with great views.
The breakfast options were a bit strange as you had to pay for everything separately. Cooked breakfasts were roughly £10-16, Toast £1, tea or coffee £3, orange or apple juice £3. Hot sandwiches £5ish. However if you paid £10 you could have as many drinks as you wanted plus toast, cereal, yoghurts and fruit. It was missing a few items to make it a true continental breakfast, but both of us were happy with our selection.
Lovely pet friendly room
Room, extremely spacious and clean for a family of 4

The room was comfortable and very spacious. Staff were friendly and helpful. Location was perfect.
Ate dinner at the onsite restaurant one night. 'Goan (chickpea) Curry' very bland and lacked any flavour, the naan was microwaved and soft (recommend to at least put it in the oven for 5 minutes if can't be bothered doing a quick pan fry). Overpriced by a big margin, not good value and was very disappointed at wasting our money on this.
Location and staff. Very comfortable room with excellent shower
Evening meal wasn’t great
The hotel was lovely, clean and had plenty of amenities both witjin it and also on it's doorstep.
Can't fault it.
We liked the quirkiness, it had everything you would need, very comfortable bed, excellent shower, good choice of food,sports bar, very friendly and helpful staff, would definitely pay a return visit.
Nothing to dislike .

Close to start of the Llanberis route for Snowdon
Location and food
Great location, very friendly staff, good food & bar on site.
Allowing dogs.
Great location close to local shops and services. Had their own car park. Nice outside space for drinks / food. Comfy bed. Bathroom all fine,
Couple of times went to bar and no one serving, as it turns out they were helping with something else in the hotel, II waited a few minutes and left to go next door instead. One day when room was cleaned, yes, rubbish bag was taken away, but no coffee or milks were replenished, seemed a rushed 'cleaning' effort. Room a bit dated, I thought a little pricey for what you got. Can't comment on the food, as didn't eat there.
Great location
Nothing to dislike
Good area, shops are close
Good location, close to Snowdon. Lots of places nearby.for a good walk

Nada en particular
Staff was fantastic
It was expensive. They gave me different toom to which I had paid for and it was like a hall. Thanks to staff who changed it eventually but that room's lock was broken. They said they changed the room initially as I indicated my child wants pet-free space. But, they should have contacted and offered me different option instead of putting us in a hall. I had better expectations after spending that much money
Car park, bed,
Cleaning, furniture, wall paper, curtain
Location
Restaurant a bit expensive for what it was, felt a bit overpriced even though food was good.
overall a great choice with no regrets, the staff were very accommodating and helpful. the breakfast was above average compared to most hotels, good parking with 2 carparks and the restaurant struck the right balance
Superb stuff behaviour
It was over priced.
The location and the parking make this a great choice for those looking at climbing snowdon.
Dated interiors, fixtures and fittings.
Wonderful clean hotel, super comfortable beds, hot showers, good food and very friendly, helpful, informative and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend if you're exploring Snowdonia
The location was excellent. Very warm cozy room. They also left our baby a sleep sack which was so thoughtful
N/A
Staff were great especially Dave. Beds very comfortable, rooms clean. The welcome box for the dogs is a really nice touch! Great location for activities. Super close for hiking in the mountain.
.
Our overall stay was fine, easy to locate when travelling by bus. Good location for day hikes around the area.
The breakfast price should have been included in the total cost and not having an additional charge. Wish there was a more amenities in the room such a a small fridge or microwave would have been very handy. There were visible stains on the carpet and brownish/green grime in the shower. Felt like the shower and toilet was not cleaned properly.
The staff is the friendliest staff I've come across. Really helpful throughout our stay. David is such a kind and approachable person with immense knowledge of Llanberis The place itself is super lively with a sports bar in the building and a restaurant that is usually busy. The whole place is dog friendly. The location can't get better than this, especially if you are going there to hike to Snowdonia. Definitely recommended!
The room was a bit cold the first night but upon informing the staff, this was promptly fixed the second day. So nothing that we didn't like in general.
Location was fantastic. Facilities for dining and drink were great. Hotel accepts pets and our dog was made to feel welcome and comfortable. Staff were super friendly and helpful.
Took long time to get hot water through on the shower and taps.
The restaurant is a hidden gem, very good food and nice staffs
The cleanliness can be improved
Everything about the hotel was great, The staff, Dave the manager. I was late arriving and they were waiting up and super helpful. We will definitely be visiting again.
We wish we had more time there
Right at the foot of Snowdon, and super friendly staff
Shower was a bit rubbish
Hotel and restaurant staff were super nice and accommodating. Thank you so much for stay!
Location, views, comfortable, clean
Shower could of been a bit hotter
Was lovely ! Loved the backdrops of local scenery in the room was lovely ❤️ Was cosy and perfect for a good nights sleep before a big hike ! The staff were super lovely and gave brilliant advice about our hike informing us of best way to get to where we needed to be! Ate in restaurant the food was delish !
Nothing
The staff are very friendly and hospitable. Our room was huge with 2 windows looking over the mountains. The room was spotless, the shower room was quirky and the pressure was great.
The food down stairs is a tad expensive but it was online with other local eateries.
The staff were very welcoming and accommodating.
The water pouring from running over the guttering in the morning
Restaurant was very good, service was excellent, location was spot on and Moretti was just right. 😀
The bedroom and common areas were a bit tired.
Really liked being a able to have a shower after our race, even though we had effectively checked out.
Great staff great food and very dog friendly which was great for us as we was away travelling with the mutts
Nothing
Very near to the diesel rail station
The shower unit holder is not working. The shower unit keep dropping down Also too few power points for three of us to charge our hp/powerbank/other electrical gadget like CPAP machine
Location is the only good part of you don’t mind compromising on the type of stay
The cleanliness was not great, the place gave a dungeon feel, the room was dark n gloomy. The vibe was a bit off for the place. The hospitality of the staff could be better
Great location,very good food,car park
Great old pub ..basic but clean
Meals were good but as a solo traveller I had call the staff or interupt them to get any service
The location is really great
The bathroom and beds were old and there were signs of dump / leakage
