Excellent stay! The parking was a huge plus and especially important as my husband was travelling by motorbike. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was good, and we also had a delicious evening meal from the bar. Overall, a very enjoyable experience. Thank you – we would happily stay again!

Great Hotel and well located in Eryri to give you access to; Yr Wyddda, Carneddau and Glydeeau mountains. The room was clean, well equipped and comfortable. The food was also good and the bar was reasonably priced for the area. It’s a 5 minute walk from Llanberis village centre and Llyn Padarn.

Got probably the hottest room on the property, as sun still beating in the window at 8pm arrival. Despite a fan in the room it was pretty unbearable. Bar food very much on the pricy side, breakfast fine. Staff nice, happy to look after my bag on checkout whilst I walked the hill.
