The hotel is in a lovely location, providing easy access to Snowdonia and the beautiful surrounding areas. The rooms are spacious, but the front-facing ones might require double glazing due to noise. The service is friendly, although there are some aspects that need improvement. The dining experience is enjoyable with lovely options, but timings could be more flexible. The facilities are good overall, offering a nice space to unwind after a day of exploring.

The hotel has some positives like comfortable rooms with working WiFi, but there is a lingering smell of smoke. A little upgrade would make a difference, especially in the shower and TV. The service was prompt and friendly, offering delicious alternatives. The location is convenient for various activities in the area, yet seems a bit tired. The dining experience was enjoyable with a good selection, although breakfast timing could be extended. The facilities are decent but could use some improvement.

The hotel is situated in a main road area above a lively pub, offering spacious and comfortable rooms despite some noise from the pub below. The odd layout adds a unique touch to the room experience. The service, though affected by a lack of heating and delays, is friendly and engaging for a pleasant stay. The location is fantastic for exploring Snowdonia and nearby areas, ideal for motorbike enthusiasts, and recommended for its proximity to beautiful scenery.

The hotel is perfectly situated for exploring Snowdonia National Park with excellent access to other attractions in mid Wales. The rooms are spacious, clean, and offer stunning views over the rolling hills, but could benefit from some upgrades, especially in terms of showers and TVs. The service was welcoming and attentive, though there were some instances of miscommunication. The location is convenient for travelers with a car, close to Portmadog and surrounded by beautiful scenery. The dining experience, while suitable for outdoor enthusiasts and walkers, had limited options, particularly during busy periods. Overall, a lovely place to unwind after a day of exploring.
