Don't stay here. You will be disappointed
Pros:

The fact I only booked for one night

Cons:

The room was appalling. Mould everywhere, a wet patch on the carpet. No the greatest view.

Pros:

The room was just fine and met all our needs well. A few chatels need minor fixing attention to spruce the room up to a 10, but this did not interfere with functioning. We slept well and were very comfortable. A pleasant stay. Thank you.

Cons:

The WiFi and mobile data did not work in the room. Guests needed to sit in the lounge area to access the WiFi. No problem if just browsing, but travel planning takes a long time so we would have been more comfortable in our room doing our planning with more privacy. A few of the room instruction notices were out of date and had not been corrected eg, old WiFi code given that was invalid (the new code was at the desk in the lounge, and shower use instructions need to be corrected.

IRIS HOTEL( HOVELL) the poorest hotel in Llandudno!!!
Pros:

The location of the hotel or HOVELL !! was right on the sea front.!!

Cons:

Staff were rude and unhelpful , the hotel is dirty and dated, signs are displayed discriminate against the disabled. the room was located at the rear of the hotel in the annex (converted stable?) up concrete stairs where the hand rail was broken. The room 204 was small with 2 windows one of which had been screwed shut and over looking a patch of waste land, the other had been "repaired" with L brackets screwed into the corners, a dirt access and the neighbouring hotels car park.The curtain didn`t fit the windows and wouldn`t close to no privacy was available. The carpet was dirty you could see where the hoover had been used in the middle of the room but the side and edges hadn`t been and the floor was uneven with dips in it the skirting board was rotten and broken.
The small double bed was a plywood box with a thin lumpy mattress. The kettle was located within the wardrobe with 2 sockets for some reason? The small TV wouldn`t tune in!
We tried to complain and were met with a blank dismissive shrug from the woman on reception.
On route to the reception from the annex to the main HOVELL was strewn with bags of presumably dirty bedding which continued through the cellar/breakfast/restaurant area causing a fire and health and safety issue, the icing on the cake so to speak was the staff member resting his bare feet on a restaurant table so that ensured that we would not be eating in the hotel!
Due to the lack of signal and wifi we ventured out to try to find alternative accommodation. unfortunately due to an event taking place all hotels were fully booked in the area.
we returned to our room late in the evening to find dead creatures under our pillows ! luckily i had camping sleeping bags and blankets in our vehicle for emergencies so we recovered them and tried to make the best of our poor accommodation.

I wouldn't bother.
Cons:

First of all the staff were nice and friendly. Unfortunately our room was pretty dire. First of all the mattress was the worst I've ever slept on. It was so thin you could feel every spring, and when you sat on the bed you just went straight gown to the base of the bed. The mirror light and extractor fan in the bathroom didn't work. Half of the shower controls didn't work. You couldn't close the curtains properly because the net curtains were on the same pole. The sash window rattled in the wind. The room door rattled. The TV didn't work. The room just looked tired and grubby. We booked for 3 nights. We actually considered looking for a different hotel on our first night.

Pros:

The breakfast was ok and the staff was friendly.

Cons:

The rooms are soooo small. The room I got was from Anex building. I had to go the lower ground floor and then go through a passage which was not very pleasing. The room had a little window there was no ventilation. The room was so small we could even walk in the room the room finishes in like 5 steps.

Nice but not impressive. A little attentiveness to the small things would go a long way
Pros:

Beautiful room and view. Bed was comfy and everywhere clean.

Cons:

Room didnt have much toilet roll. Only supplied with one tea bag. Had to ask for more of both. Tv did not work. Reported it to reception. Was told someone would come and have a look. No one came. No Internet connection is available in the rooms, so with the fact we didnt have tv either. Was very difficult to enjoy our evening together. Breakfast wasn't really what we had hoped for. Was hoping for a full English. Only cooked item on menu was eggs. Everything else was cold breakfast items.
