Poor value for money.
Pros:

Location was good, easy to get to places in the village

Cons:

Breakfast was appalling, with very cheap quality ingredients poorly cooked. Definitely not worth what they charge for it. The room was ok but overpriced and not value for money.

Pros:

An amazing location, the accommodation is nothing fancy but the area makes up for it. Good for the price.

Cons:

It would have been handy if there was a little bit more in the kitchen, such as a toaster and a sink to wash dishes.

Would stay again but ask for a different room!
Pros:

Great location and friendly staff, very helpful. Very dog friendly too.

Cons:

The noise, unfortunately we were in a room directly above the bunk house toilets I think and we could hear everything! Very early morning and late at night. Hand dryers, talking, coughing, laughing.

Basic, but good place to stay
Pros:

Betws y Coed is a lovely town with some good places to eat and drink with beautiful surroundings. The hotel facilities are very good with a bar, lounge area and good size restaurant.

Cons:

The rooms are a little small and a bit musty. But for a short break on the hill you don't need much more than a bed and a shower.

We will be returning.
Pros:

Breakfast, comfort of the rooms is outstanding.

Cons:

Honestly.. everything was great, we just unfortunately got a room with a very small TV. We enjoy a little TV at night after a long day climbing. It was a bit disappointing this time round (our 5th time staying here).
