Pros:

location

Cons:

raving, banging ('music') noise assaulting my ears until 2 in the morning, no Wifi, no TV programs or access to TV apps, bathroom with damp marks and black mould around the shower. And on top of it all, I woke up having been bitten by bed bugs

Nice base for area ventures, just too hot (not their making)
Pros:

The room being in a public house was susceptable to customer noises late in the night but the was to be accepted.
My only niggle was that there was no parking near the hotel.

Cons:

Nothing except for the parking

Good overnight stay in simple accomodation that suited my single traveller needs
Pros:

Very central to Caernarfon, easy access and checkout. Solo traveller wanting clean, comfortable, overnight accommodation and I experienced just that. Plenty of tea/coffee, good shower and very good nights sleep.

Cons:

Local parking was a bit expensive but it was right by the castle and a short walk to the hotel.
No other negatives
