Clean , comfortable and adequate for our 1 nights stay
Pros:

Booked at short notice, guesthouse was undergoing renovation so was a little chaotic but the workmen were very helpful and directed us to our rooms. No check in ,but clear instructions from the owner as to keysafe details etc. No breakfast on site but again a recommendation of a local place that was excellent and good value . The room was basic, but clean, recently painted and comfortable for the 1 night we needed. Nice touch of mini toiletries and biscuits.

Cons:

No where in the bathroom to put anything, had to put everything on the floor , could do with a shelf and maybe a hook behind the door .

I thought £250+ for 2 rooms for 1 night was expensive for what you get.
Pros:

The location was a 10 minute walk into Pwllheli and 2 minute walk to the beach. We had breakfast at Buffers in the train station and that was lovely! Lush bacon roll and hot cappuccino

Cons:

Its very outdated. The room was okay, fairly clean but the en suite was shabby. Broken toilet seat and old bathroom cabinet that pulls over when you open the door of it. We didnt use the shower as it didnt feel clean. The corridors smelt funny and the doors to the rooms were were squeaky as hell. You could see some of the sea if you stuck your head out of the window but couldn't see it through them as they were filthy. The WiFi didnt work and the A/C was non existent. No fridge, just a kettle and a couple of dirty cups. We wouldn't stay here again.

AVOID!!!
Cons:

AVOID AVOID AVOID AT ALL COST.
Our experience at Victoria Guest Accommodation & Studio Apartments was absolutely dreadful and felt like a complete scam. We booked for two nights but could not bring ourselves to stay the second night because of the appalling conditions. The room was extremely dirty. The walls, doors, and carpets all looked like they had not been properly cleaned or refreshed in years. Most disgustingly, the bed sheet on my wife’s bed was stained (picture), which immediately made us question the hygiene standards of the entire property.
What was also completely unacceptable was the bathroom situation. We were expected to share one shower and one toilet with another room, but the bathroom was not even on the same floor. We had to go up a narrow and steep public staircase just to use it, which was both inconvenient and shocking considering this was never made clear in a reasonable way when booking. The most unbelievable part is that we paid £92 per night for this. For that kind of money, we expected at least basic cleanliness and comfort, not conditions that made us want to leave immediately.
Needless to say, we ended up leaving and booking a proper hotel elsewhere because staying there any longer was simply not an option. This was the worst accommodation experiences we have ever had, and we would strongly warn others not to waste their money here.

Pros:

Beds, towels

Cons:

A long way from anywhere that served breakfast at 8am.
A long walk from the railway station.
No reception staff
The velox windows were left open due to the unseasonal heat but a rain storm occured and water poured onto one of the beds. We left a note but I would have been helpful if staff had been on hand.
