Nice hotel, great location next to Snowdon Mountain Railway. Good food. Our room was a bit small, and the only window faced into an enclosed "courtyard", with the boiler/extractor located just outside. The window didn't open making it feel more enclosed.

It’s a little tired. Reception really smells of fish from the restaurant. There is loads of rubbish on display behind reception and the carpet is very worn. So first impressions are poor. Room not much better and mattress was tired. Bar staff seem very stressed! Food good, breakfast was ok. Overall just a tired hotel that needs updating. It felt like a high class hostel. Oh, drying room does not dry anything! Location is perfect for climbing Snowden.

Situated in a stunning location. The hotel was easy to find and had ample parking. Check in was quick and efficient. We booked this hotel as we were taking part in a 1am Snowdon walk. It was literally two minute walk to the Snowdon train station, which was our meeting point. The village with shops and restaurants was only a few minutes walk away. Our room was clean and comfortable, quiet and had everything we needed. The breakfast was good and much appreciated after a night hike. Looking to return for a couple of days to relax and to explore the area a little more.

The room were we stayed in was 114 and next to the kitchen so the smell was not so good, plus they were very nosey when starting there shift waking me up,,the pillows were a very low standard so I'd say bring your own,my single bed was like sleeping on a ironing board, not for me so didn't sleep well, and they could do with a sign for the hot water to say it hot as it was very,the food and staff excellent, but they don't make beds so don't expect them to be made,and possibly could do with a fridge
