First room I had, had an issue with the door, staff immediately swapped my room! Staff were very kind and helpful, room had both a fan and electric heater which was perfect. Great food, nice pint selection. Excellent location.
Our room was nice, clean and bright with a large window facing the road.
Staff were very friendly and helpful during our stay.
However check in was late at 5pm with an early checkout at 10am. No breakfast or lunch option due to being out of season and no fridge to store any food over night.
Great for walks but anything else you need to travel out by car.
Very nice place. The room had everything we needed for our weekend in Snowdonia. The location was great to access different hikes on the area.
Great place for dog owners.
comfortable, clean, nice views around, amazing location, just down from the hotel there is a Snowdonia slate trail. Also the pub the hotel has delicious local beers which are great to enjoy after hiking all day long. The hotel has a long history dating back to 14th century
Very quaint and delightful hotel with a fantastic pub, staffed by some genuinely lovely people. The rooms were spacious, beds and pillows were extremely comfortable and it was a great atmosphere. Thoroughly enjoyed it, will definitely recommend to friends.
Apart from them not expecting me, they weren't doing breakfast and the telly was broken, I have no complaints. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the room was just what was hoped for with a comfortable bed and functioning hot shower. A bit pricey for a pub in April.
Shocking, couldn’t believe what I was seeing 👀 has housekeeping been done? Has this place been maintained? I doubt it very much, could not get out fast enough 🏃♂️🏃♀️🏃, I could not recommend 👎
Nice area my go back when all rebuild work has been done. No lift . Slamming doors at night.

Location was good for stay near Snowdonia national park. Room was cosy with the essentials needed after a days hiking.
Unfortunately there was a party occurring downstairs and found the noise travelled. We also didn’t receive a breakfast
There was a warm, efficient welcome. The room and bathroom were spotless, the bed comfortable and the water steaming hot.
I cannot comment on the food as the kitchen was unfortunately closed when I stayed so no breakfast (which was included in the description on the Expedia website) or evening meal, which I had hoped for. The beer was good in the bar, though!
I had a great stay at Y Pengwern Hotel. The room was super cozy, spotless, and had everything I needed to feel right at home - perfect for winding down after a day out. I really appreciated the extra heaters they provided—perfect if you like the room toasty and warm.
The view from the window was absolutely stunning. It looked right out over the mountains, and catching the sunrise and sunset from there made the whole trip feel even more special.
The staff were all really friendly and helpful, which added to the relaxed, welcoming vibe of the place. I’d happily stay there again!
