Lovely hotel and perfect location for walking up Snowdon, room spacious, breakfast lovely and we had a beautiful meal in the restaurant overlooking the gardens which were stunning, found the staff friendly and helpful
It's a nice place, the room was clean and nicely decorated, it is an old building so you hear everyone in your immediate vicinity, so it's advisable to bring ear plugs as they don't keep any at the front desk.

This hotel is super convenient- fantastic in fact. HOWEVER, the walls are paper thin, the heating comes on all through the night and is loud, and the bed and pillows are pretty uncomfortable. The food is great.
So, take ear plugs and your own pillow and you may get some sleep.
Good location but half of the Llanberis attractions were closed for a variety of reasons which was disappointing.
Large hotel catering for coach trips, food in the bar was good and the restaurant food was delicious however the breakfast was average as although we had a nice room to eat in the buffet breakfast was served in the coach trip room which wasn’t ideal.
Our room in the Coach house was very small for almost £200 a night but it was clean and comfortable.
