Perfect choice

Clean hotel with good choice of food. Breakfast was plentiful and a great choice. Bed was a little too soft for me but room was warm and comfortable. Location was excellent for walking Eryri and using the mountain railway.

We booked a twin room but when we checked in it was a double. They changed it. Cleanliness was OK but with lots of harvester spiders and cobwebs in the 'dark corners'. The window would not close properly - we reported it when we left.

Lovely location near Llyn Padarn, next to Snowdon Mountain railway. Nice public areas and gardens, although a little bit faded in some places. Room was ok, but shower room very cramped and nowhere to put anything. Good breakfasts with wide choice.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Room was not cleaned prior to check in. Dirt everywhere with unclean carpets, toilet and dated decor. I think a part of the mess was that they only clean your room when you ask, so rooms are not cleaned often. Shower did not work as hot water was not working. Walls were paper thin, so lots of noise overnight. Paid a lot to stay here in my opinion too. Breakfast was good and staff were nice but aside from the location the property offers very little.
