Instalaciones anticuadas y poco accesibles .
Pros:

El personal del buffet de desayuno muy amable. La ubicación es muy buena .

Cons:

la chica de recepción que nos hizo el checking a las 15 h muy desagradable . Las habitaciones estaban fuera del hotel en un apartado , para acceder tuvimos que subir las maletas por una escalera casi inaccesible y muy estrecha . Unos 20 escalones empinados .

The best place to stay in Llanberis.
Pros:

The hotel is directly opposite the Snowdon Mountain Railway station. In the first room we were allocated, the view was blocked by scaffolding. I complained and the girl on reception quickly allocated another room which was very nice and spacious. We had an adequate meal in the Bar Restaurant. Breakfast was excellent. Parking outside was free and very convenient. We checked out and went up Snowdon, the hotel happy for us to leave the car in their carpark.

Cons:

Just after we arrived, before I’d taken the luggage up, the only Lift in the hotel went out of service and remained that way until the following morning.
Btw I’m from Australia not Hongkong. Booking.com has an error in its system.

Pros:

L'hôtel est bien situé, juste à quelques pas du Snowdon Railway station.

Cons:

La chambre dans le coach house avait 4 lits mais pour le reste pas de place pour mettre des affaires. L'entrée dans le coach house est très étroite pour monter l'escalier avec les bagages et nécessiterait d'ailleurs un coup de rénovation, tout spécialement la moquette.

Good location.
Pros:

Room is up narrow stairs in an old building, facilities were adequate. The location was very good, the breakfast had everything you would want. Nice garden area outside to sit.

Cons:

The room had a musty smell as was quite hot and stuffy particularly in the afternoons. A fridge would have been good.
