Late April Stay in Betws-Y-Coed
We had a lovely stay in Betws-y-coed and the hotel made the stay really relaxing. They are friendly and helpful and the hotel is really central. We are looking forward to booking to go again soon.

A delightful hotel, at once both old-fashioned and modern. A very pleasant Reception and an excellent restaurant for both dinner and breakfast. Slept well in a very comfortable room - (although I would have liked one 'soft' pillow). And all in all the hotel was central to a very pleasant weekend.

Best part of stay cooked breakfast
I found the welcome avange, the room spaceage but dark. Nothing special about the deco, the bed was comfortable.
We paid extra £15 each for breakfast. Well worth it, restaurant nice, service and food very good. I did feel pressured to book breakfast, I walked away then came back. Pleased I did.

Excellent staff and food, rooms a little tired
First class friendly service, excellent food in the attached bar, plus breakfast in the hotel dining room. Great location and parking. Room, and particularly the bathroom, in need of updating.

Perfect for our two night stay
Perfect location with friendly and accommodating staff. The Grill Room restaurant offered a wide range of quality food options. Our room was large and comfortable with good amenities, however the bathroom is starting to feel dated and the shower weak, but plenty of hot water.

It was a bonus to be able to use the pool at the sister hotel, the Waterloo.
Breakfast was fabulous, served hot and on a hot plate.
