We enjoyed our 3 night stay. Our bedroom was quite basic but the car parking was good and the breakfast was great. Staff were lovely. A good position just on the outskirts of the town with a 5-10 minute walk to the centre.
The room was a bit small for 3 adults. We had limited space for placing our suitcases. The bed sheets were not white in colour which made me feel that they were not clean. Also surprised to find that we were only given small tubes of shampoo for 3 adults to use for two days at the beginning and there was no shower gel. The staff they were still waiting for delivery of the showergel. Luckily we got the shower gel on the second day. The shower cubicle was very small and the water from the shower head was very weak. The toilet cover fell off after one day. The breakfast was satisfactory but could be better if there were more varieties. We would not stay at this bnb again.
The room looked clean when we entered but the bed lining was very smelly. The room also was smelling very mouldy. I also couldn't sleep well too as I was constantly hearing some water leak noise from bathroom. The water in the bathroom was warm enough but not too hot which wouldn't have worked if it was winter.

Very friendly staff, excellent breakfast and clean comfortable room.
The hotel was adequate but not great. Room was a bit run-down, with visible mold in some places. Shower leaked onto the bathroom floor requiring multiple bath mats to hold back the flood. Shampoo was poor quality - hair just didn't feel clean. We ended up using our own after the first day. Check-in process was odd that you had to call a phone number to have the person let you in and meet you at the desk. It seems like there is only one person running the entire property. Breakfast was actually pretty good, and the service was very attentive.
Good location with short walk to shops & restaurants. Quaint & clean room with good wifi and comfortable beds. Included breakfast was OK. Owner was nice and helpful. Dated rooms reflected in price.

Pleasant enough. Had no issues except heating although it came on at various times sometimes the room got really chilly in between heating times.
Very deceptive advertising not what it says in ad.
What a disappointment it was. No restaurant no bar very tired and in desperate need of an upgrade. Cooked breakfast was soaking in old oil.Supply of bread ran out so they rushed to shop for more. Bedroom was very low standard and housekeeping was done once during our 4 night stay. I had booked to stay in a hotel not a Chinese restaurant the whole place smelt of Chinese cooking!!! The decor was very substandard and in desperate need of decorating.
Super friendly manager and perfect for a short stay in Betws y Coed.
Rooms were clean and there were several amenities that i was hoping for.
Tremendous hiking trail right behind the hotel.
I highly recommend The Dragon.
Shower controls broken knob was not attached anymore to shower so difficult to control or turn off.
Radiator was also the same was set on full blast and unable to turn off. Left a night early, was told she would get someone in to fix but no offer off a partial refund the night we left early. It was like a sauna in the room
Lee the owner was very friendly and tries hard. Chinese Restaurant and Bar have not been available since 2020. Why is Expedia still advertising it being open? indeed the Dragon website says (temporarily unavailable) unfortunately i booked with Expedia. Room 14 is fine

Comfortable bed nice breakfast room clean very friendly enjoyed my stay
I stayed at The Dragon for 5 nights in October 2024 and was fully satisfied with the accommodations. The room was much better than expected, fairly large, very clean and comfy. The curtains could be a little thicker as I like a very dark room but it wasn't an issue given the time of year. The bathroom had good water pressure and plentiful hot water. The Wi-Fi was great and was nice to have a decent TV, too. The bed was a real gem - I had stayed in a dozen or so dif places in this extended vacation before getting to Betws-Y-Coed and this bed was for sure the best or second best I had slept in. I would stay here again if back in the area.
Worn out dirty and damp certainly not worth £90 per night not even £20
We booked 3 rooms one was so bad my friend moved to another hotel, requested a refund but told in no uncertain words NO
