Perfect location to explore Snowdonia.
Pros:

A good hotel in a lovely location. Really perfect for Llanberis town and the Snowdon Railway. The food was tasty.

Cons:

The hotel building was a little bit tired, and difficult to find your way around. This did not impact the trip. The TV in the room did not work.

Great location at the foot of the Llanberis track up Snowdon, also ideally located for popping into the village.

Lovely location
Pros:

Loved the location. Facilities were good. Views fantastic. Lovely gardens. Breakfast was great, bar food was also good.

Cons:

I didn't like being in the Coach house, away from the main hotel. Steep stairs up 2 floors (not great after climbing Snowdon).
