Great location and a warm welcome
Pros:

Helpful and friendly staff. Location. Clean

Cons:

It was very hot, a fan in the room would have been welcome. Clearer signage about door to go into. As the main door was open due to heat the access pad was not seen. Just need a sign. Would book again

A lovely old place but now quirky but tired.
Pros:

The property was in a good location in the town and looked lovely from the outside.

Cons:

The clutter in the approach to the stairs when carrying bags. The room was spacious and clean but hot on the top floor with no fan available. The shower was good but the water soon reached the top of the tray as the drainage was very slow.
I was very disappointed as it was looking a bit tired generally from what I remember some years ago. In the morning there was no sign of any staff although we looked everywhere for one. Breakfast was not available we had been told the night before which would have been nice to have known before we arrived.

It was fine
Pros:

Great location, nice enough though a bit tired looking

Cons:

Tv in the room didn’t work, switched on but no channels worked. Bit expensive for what it was, at a cheaper price I’d give it more points but it needs a bit of tlc for that price

No staff
Pros:

Very good location

Cons:

The hotel is no longer painted white, and does not have a name sign. We went past it twice as it’s called Gales wine bar, not Gales of Llangollen. The car park was not signposted at all, the sign actually daud it was the Pickle cafe. Once we eventually parked the car we could not find any staff, not a soul. We wandered around for about 10 minutes. The young lady from the Pickle cafe really helped us. Eventually we found two young ladies, who told us our room wasn’t ready but if we came back at 2pm our bags would be put in our room. We agreed and left our luggage, however on our return it was still in the corridor where we put it! We didn’t see anybody at all, our room door was just left unlocked. We didn’t check out as again nobody was there. Rooms were clean but very shabby, the lights didn’t work and one was hanging off the wall. The bathroom door didn’t even shut properly.

Wonderful staff in both the Gales & The Pickle, great atmosphere and they all went the extra mile!
Pros:

Fabulous location right in easy reach if allbtge amenities. Bronwyn ( the Manager) was so helpful and friendly. All the staff at The Pickle where we had our breakfast were so helpful, Bethan and the team were fab! Bronwyn went the extra mile to help us, she even moved her own car to accomodate ours, as we were there to attend the David Gray Concert and used The Gales Car Park

Cons:

No fridge in the room

Not a comfortable stay, with not much sleep, and cleanliness wasn’t great
Pros:

It was close to all facilities

Cons:

It wasn’t very clean, no shower gel, the bed was creaky as soon as you sat on it, very warm at night, so didn’t get much sleep with the heat and mattress not being great

Really comfy, great value
Pros:

Beds were extremely comfortable, having somewhere outside to have a cigarette with morning coffee was lovely, great central location, characterful building, good value for money.

Cons:

The tap on the shower was a little stiff and hard to turn on and off. Overall though this hardly mattered.
