Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with clean and comfortable rooms and friendly staff. The dining experience could be improved with more breakfast options. The location is excellent, close to town, and the pool area is well-maintained.
The hotel had nice rooms but were not soundproof, and the value for money was questionable. The service was friendly and helpful, although a bit overshadowed by a large coach party. The location was excellent, especially for exploring the Old Town. The dining experience was fantastic despite some inconsiderate guests. Facilities were decent, but more consideration could be given to disabled guests.
My stay at the hotel was overall quite pleasant. The rooms were on the smaller side but adequate, and the staff was friendly and attentive. However, I found some dust and personal items under the bed. The location was perfect, close to all amenities, but there were some minor issues with the dining experience.
The hotel had a mixed experience with some positives and areas for improvement. The rooms were on two levels and a bit stuffy, but the cooked breakfast was better than dinners. Service varied from unfriendly at breakfast to very friendly and efficient, with clean rooms throughout the hotel. The location was convenient to explore, being close to the town center and easy to find while driving around North Wales. The dining options were decent, though not outstanding. A pleasant stay overall with room for enhancements in the menu and service communication.
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms, though not soundproof, were comfortable, and having a separate bed for my grandchild was convenient. However, there were cleanliness issues with dust and items found under the bed. The staff were accommodating and friendly, particularly when assisting with accessibility needs, but more could be done for disabled guests. The location was excellent, catering well to hikers and providing a quaint experience. The dining aspect was a mix; while the evening meals were brilliant, there were some shortcomings with organization. Facilities were satisfactory but could use improvements.
I loved the spacious rooms with a minor noise issue from a nearby bar at night. The service was top-notch with friendly staff, although a few seemed stressed. The location was ideal for exploring the historic city center and castle. The dining experience had its ups and downs, but the homemade desserts were a highlight. Overall, a pleasant stay with some room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was convenient, close to local amenities and attractions, but the rooms were uncomfortably hot and lacked views. The service was friendly and efficient, but the dining experience could be improved with more choices. Overall, it was an okay stay with some room for enhancement.
The hotel may have slightly dated rooms, but they are very comfortable and located conveniently near the backyard and above the trash bin. The price is quite reasonable for the comfort offered.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room was clean and comfortable, but the cleanliness could have been better considering the price paid. However, the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, and I was pleasantly surprised with a lovely room featuring a four-poster bed. The location was excellent, right near Caernarfon Castle, although the noise at night was a bit bothersome. The dining was decent, with good bar meals available, but breakfast options left something to be desired.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were tastefully decorated, clean, spacious, and provided a sense of serenity. However, the absence of a toilet seat was a downside alongside cleanliness issues.
