Would stay again. Good value. Great breakfast!!
Pros:

The location is great, the staff were very good and friendly. Breakfast was really good and overall very good value for money. The only thing i would say is the mattress on our double bed could definitely do with an upgrade, very uncomfortable 😬It was a cheap stay and overall much better than expected for the money.... if the mattress had been better I would happily of paid another £50 for the night.

Cons:

The mattress in our family room. Completely flattened when sat on the edge and felt like I was rolling off the side all night.... the saving grace was that id been trekking all day and was completely knackered so still managed to get some sleep.

The best hotel in North Wales
Pros:

Everything was amazing, good location, staff was lovely and friendly especially Maggie. My room was cold but she offered me a portable radiator that kept me nice and warmed. Breakfast was well presented and delicious. Dinner came in a big portion, nice and fresh with a reasonable price. My most favorite of staying at Glan Aber was a spa room. I wished that I could stay longer but definitely going back and highly recommended.

Cons:

Nothing, all reasonable and well presented.

Pros:

I didn't just like it, I loved my stay at Glan Aber Hotel. From the moment I checked in, until the time I checked out, the staff, the hotel itself and the food was amazing. I would recommend them to anyone who wants a break away, as its the ideal place in an ideal location.

The hotel was great good food and location let down by the room and late night noise
Pros:

Location was great and the car park was a good size

Cons:

The room was basic with a small very high window, no view at all . The other guests were very noisy into the early hours and nothing was done to stop the noise
