A pleasant stay but a hotel with flaws
Pros:

The staff were lovely

Cons:

It is looking a bit tired and parking situation for a building of its size needs sorting out, it is a free-for-all with visitors and non-residents. For the price is needs some room upgrading, the rooms are 2 star only. Food was good in the main though not exceptional. The positives are the staff who are lovely and a definite asset to the hotel.

Loved the Bulkeley! We will be back.
Pros:

The quirkiness, the staff, the decor and furnishings, the food, the atmosphere.

Cons:

Room was a little dated and the bed was small, but to be fair it was one of the cheaper cosy rooms. Overall it was nice.

The room is not inviting for that price.
Pros:

The breakfast is good, but the room is facing a stair, and my mum-in-law was very unhappy. She is a loyal customer of the hotel, I think the Hotel should have considered upgrading her.

Cons:

The room's view

Pros:

Lovely well equipped room...cleaned very well every day..and anything used restocked...lovely outdoor area..and location fabulous ...breakfast food very good

Cons:

Staff at breakfast were very inefficient...I had to ask every day if they would bring drinks..and every day I was told by the waitress she would ask someone else to come and take our order?.?...which meant waiting another on average 10 minutes for someone else to appear...were also kept waiting every day to order our hot food...

Love this hotels.
Pros:

Second stay..A splendid old Georgian hotel in an outstanding location. With views over the Menai and Snowdonia. The room we booked was exceptional, spacious, beautifully furnished in period style with wonderful views, albeit pricey.
The restaurant and serving staff particularly the older ones were helpful and friendly. The Breakfast was ok and plentiful but limited in choice.

Cons:

The bathroom was a fail. A triumph of trendy style over function. Water splashed from the open shower all over the tiled floor and doorway making it slippery and dangerous for other users. The bath was the trendy shell type with high thin sides making very difficult to get in and out for what I would suspect would be mostly older customers. The wash basin was small, had no surround for the convenience of putting stuff.

The car park was limited and there is a fair chance you won't get a place on busy days. This was exacerbated by one space permanently taken up by the gardiner's lorry, and others by staff..
