Not bad for the price

Great location, could do with a dedicated check-in desk not at the bar especially at busy service times.room very very clean but dated could do with updating throughout. Breakfast was ok but slow service, one poor lad serving on his own. Evening meals were very good.we had a room on the top floor and there was a bad smell on the landing. Overall not bad for the price.

Food was great but the room had no fan or AC and during this summer it was unbearable. We were in room 9 facing the road and as I feared it was noisy as it was single glazed windows. With Lorrie’s go up and down all night I hardly slept. Would I stay here again? No. However I would highly rate the food the burger I had was probably the best I have ever had.

Great place for a short break

Room spacious and comfortable with extras like tea/coffee/water well stocked. Bath was nice to have but also a powerful shower. Food is good although service stops a little early - especially on Sunday. Breakfast very good - all cooked to order.

Room was huge and well equipped. Now we did visit on the hottest day of the year, but the room was unbearably hot. We borrowed a fan, but this did little to cool the room. I can I ly assume the room temp would be much better if it wasn't 34 degrees during the day. Staff were niceand food was good. Checking at the small bar.

A Hidden Gem – My Favorite Stay in Wales!

My stay at The Oakeley Arms Hotel in Blaenau Ffestiniog was truly the highlight of my time in Wales. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel so welcome—friendly, attentive, and even greeting me by name (perhaps I stood out as a solo female traveler!). Their warmth and hospitality set the tone for the entire visit. The hotel restaurant was an unexpected delight. Coming from the U.S., I was blown away by the quality, flavor, and generous portions of every meal. Everything I tried was absolutely delicious—so much so that I felt guilty not finishing it all! Be sure to leave room for dessert; each one is divine and worth the indulgence. My room had a comfortable single bed that was perfect for me. The space was surprisingly large and the bathroom was lovely—clean, well-kept, and thoughtfully appointed. Thank you, Oakeley Arms, for such a wonderful experience. You made this solo traveler feel right at home. I can genuinely say this was my best stay in Wales!

Friendly staff and decent rooms, but no air conditioning and only small windows that open made the rooms quite stifling in the heat.
