Plas Glynllifon Mansion
"Very diffrent place to stay, but worth it, dont expect all the mod cons,but thats the point the rooms were clean, the water was hot and the building is amazing."
Celtic Royal Hotel & Spa
"We were surprised to find that guests have to pay an additional fee for parking. The building is quite old, so the ventilation wasn’t great and the room felt quite stuffy. Even though it was already the end of August, the room still felt quite warm and poorly ventilated. At night, there was also quite a lot of noise coming from the hotel kitchen downstairs, which was quite disturbing. Apart from these points, the staff were all very nice and friendly."
Royal Goat Hotel
"The staff are courteous and helpful, and the food is very good. This hotel is centrally located in Snowdonia within walking distance to a nice village and wonderful walks along a charming river. We have stayed here before and will stay here again."
Victoria House Room Only Accommodation
"Great hving the fridge and microwave was really god You had the choice of eating in the dining room were there was a toaster parking outside your given a temperature pass we just renewed it every 24 hrs had no problem the house is in the centre next to hotel the castle lots of shops on your door step an icland had some great microwave food Wich saved us money definitely stay again"
Ty Glyndwr Bunkhouse Bar and Cafe - Hostel
"We loved Caernarfon and the bunkhouse is a perfect spot from which to explore the area. It is clean and comfortable and communication from the property was clear and easy to follow."
YHA Snowdon Pen-Y-Pass - Hostel
"Excellent Hostel and very well kept. Nice clean facilities and good food available in the restaurant too. Only downside is the parking situation but this is out of their hands and well informed on their web site. Plenty of regular busses during the day so just be sure to plan ahead for where you park."
Coach House
"Lovely little place to stay in a beautiful village. Cereals and fruit provided for breakfast. Friendly staff when we checked in and out. Only downside the shower need a bit more power! But would stay again if we were ever in the area. Plus stunning view from our room."
