Small but modern
Recently refurbished rooms but small. The family room would have been better converted to a double room with a chair instead of a single bed squeezed in next to the double bed.

Stayed here for 2 nights whilst we climbed Snowdon. Ideal location as the Snowdon starting point is a 5 minute walk and free parking outside the hotel was ideal.

For some reason, they stopped serving breakfast and the whole town seemed to have closed down for winter, even though Snowdon was busy and it was a weekend. We had to get coffee for breakfast from the only open facility which was an outdoor coffee van. They would do well to keep their breakfast provision open for weekends.

Excellent location
Excellent location and lovely food. Our room was clean and tea coffee amenities were provided. It is above a pub so there is some noise as expected. The bed could do with a new mattress as it was very uncomfortable. Apart from that we had a lovely stay

Great stay!
We loved our stay. The outside of the Inn and the main areas do not look amazing, however the rooms are beautifully laid out and very modern. The beds are comfortable and clean. and the rooms are spacious. The Saturday night Karaoke was amusing to hear but as you're above a pub you can't really expect a silent night.

Noisy accommodation
We stayed for 3 nights. Wanting to do lots of walking Snowdon being our main aim. Unfortunately I assumed this would be the kind of thing most would be doing so quiet evenings because of the early starts. This did not seem to be the case. Our room was situated above the bar with the beer garden right under our window. Let me just say we did not get any early nights. The noise from outside kept us awake Until extremely late. I feel like this should be stated before booking. I have stayed in many a pub/bar and have not been disturbed by any noise. This ruined our stay and our trip if I am honest due to tiredness. I would not recommend this accommodation

Thanks for your feedback. Sorry you didn't enjoy your stay. We do however state that we are an 'Inn' in our description and that the bar is obviously an integral part. We don't actually have a beer garden - just a few benches out the front on the high street and the bar closes at 23:00L. Allowing for 30 minutes 'drinking up' time we don't feel that 23:30L is particularly late, especially given the current current 'Staycation' situation due to Covid-19. We have been exceptionally busy for this reason and have tried to keep everyone happy and things convivial but sadly we cannot please everyone all the time, particularly at weekends. Once again apologies that we were not what you were expecting.

Very convenient for Snowdon path, mountain railway , slate museum, lake padarn and dinorwic slate quarry. Pleasant room though pillows a bit hard, very clean in room but stairs in hallway very dusty .Limited evening dining in Llanberis but pub grub available in the evening and cafe next door. Friendly staff, rooms are over the public house but we didn’t notice any excessive noise.

Lovely room with comfortable bed. Also, the temperature was just about right, not too warm or cold. Contactless check-in worked perfectly. Would have been nice if the Inn served breakfast, especially on the day my friend and I had an early start to go up Snowdon. Generally it appears as though it is impossible to get breakfast anywhere in Llanberis before 9am! The evening meal we had at the Inn was excellent. We can thoroughly recommend the steak & ale pie.

So sorry you didn't enjoy your stay and felt you had to leave such feedback. We did what we could to help, including refunding you and providing additional services that we couldn't normally provide due to Covid-19 restrictions here in Wales but did so to try and accommodate you. Llanberis is a small community and we are struggling with demand given the pandemic. We wish you every happiness in your stays in the future.

En suite was way to small badly designed. Very noisy someone every night about midnight moving furniture. Info sheet said top up of drink stuff at top of stairs nothing there so wrong information given. I knew we booked a pub but to noisy for us. Also people with no masks on standing in main entrance smoking had to squeeze past. Would not stay again.

Just what we needed
The hotel was lovely, just what we needed. Tv with access to Netflix was a surprise and nice bonus. Rooms where comfy and clean and a great base in Llanberis to explore around Snowdonia national park and other climbing/walking locations. The hotel handled current circumstances outstandingly, felt safe.

Thanks for the feedback. As we mentioned on your confirmation we are unable to preform daily tidies in the rooms at the moment due to the ongoing Covid-19 situation and the Welsh Government emergency Covid-19 legislation.

It was okay until you wanted to sleep and then the bar downside even after closing had people talking loudly and music playing, and for some mad reason at 1:30am they’d drag furniture around and vacuum. It’d probably be a decent stay if you’re not above the bar, but most of the rooms appear to be just that, so be prepared to bring earplugs
