The Chainbridge Hotel

I didn't realize it was a really long distance from the center of town where my other friends were staying, and where my activites were held. I didn't have a car, so the walk was challenging some of the time. But actually, I would still have stayed at the Chainbridge Hotel, despite the distance.

The bed was a little soft for us

Better facilities in the room re tea and coffee wouldn't go amiss. A small fridge maybe, better fans, fresh milk and a better selection of teas and coffees. Also reception would benefit from longer hours to facilitate late arrivals and people who want to come back later, especially during Eisteddfod week. The stay was not particularly cheap and i felt that the service received, while there was nothing wrong with it as such, did not really reflect the price. Cooked breakfast was also a bit small in terms of portions, although it was tasty enough. Also the window in our room opened fully which did not feel particularly safe although it did provide a nice breeze on a hot night! Really difficult to put the key in the lock properly!

The stairs from the car park & not realising there was more parking lower as i didn't notice any signs saying so.

Having to leave

The room was rather small with nowhere to sit apart from the balcony or the bed. There was another chair but it only fitted by the desk because the room was so small. The car park was APPALLING, an extremely narrow road with no way to pass with the river on one side and the canal on the other, very few spaces, so dangerous. There was a turning area but even that was tiny. The worst part was the entrance to the car park which required manoeuvring over a small hump bridge and turning into the narrow car park, difficult at the best of times, and getting back out impossible to get traction for the steep turning climb with dangers on either side. It was so bad that we dared not take our car out of the car park the first day, and when we had to go, getting out was a nightmare because someone had parked so close to my car I couldn't even open the door to get into it, I had to ask someone else (someone very thin) to drive it part way out for me, then getting over the bridge took 3 attempts, I would never ever go near the place again, it was dreadful. It is in the middle of nowhere and when we arrived at 8 pm there was no way to get food, but we needed dinner having been driving for 7 hours - they said we could order a takeaway by phone BUT WE DONT EAT JUNK FOOD!!!!!!! So we effectively starved. I had a gig at the eisteddfod on our last night but the restaurant opened after I left to go there and closed at 7:30 before I got back and there was no room service. The hotel might be in a nice location, and the bar was good. But I felt trapped there because I couldn't come and go freely in my car. And don't even get me started on the heat in the room with no air conditioning, but if the window were open, the number of moths we had for company!!!

Nothing

Our room was on the top floor facing the river . It is the sunny side and it was very very hot in the room and the balcony didn’t provide any freshness . The roof must have been very hot because it was hot in the room even during the night . The size of the room was rather small . Only bath in the bathroom , no separate shower . The price was high but probably because of the festival in Llangollen

It was perfect.

This is an old property with lots of history, with accommodation on the top two floors. There is no lift, so not really accessible for anyone who cannot negotiate flights of stairs. We were assigned a room on the top floor, which can get warm during hot weather due to the flat roof and no air conditioning. This is to be expected of an older building.

Room was clean and tidy and had everything we needed

The ventilator in the bathroom not working. Need net curtains on windows to prevent mosquitoes, especially during summer time with heat wave. Easy to overlook the entrance if you drive to hotel. A reminder or hint to customers would be nice.

Room was on the canal side adjoining the room next door. Although their was a door between the rooms may as well not been we could here everything from the next room. Expensive stay for this room.
