Pros:

A very lovely old hotel. Very little in the way of modern conveniences and no breakfast included in room price but staff were very pleasant and attended to issues as raised. Good food served in the attached wine bar. A very pleasant overnight stay

Cons:

There were a few maintenance issues with my room which I pointed out to a staff member in the wine bar over dinner. She looked into them but was not able to rectify any of them. That said, none of them were life changing (dead lightbulbs etc). There are a lot of stairs and no lifts - it's an old building so if accessibility is a thing for you this place is probably not the place for you. After the lovely dinner, and for the price, would have appreciated breakfast in the morning.

Noisy, not wot is expected.
Pros:

The wine bar. Was busy due to music outside.
The lovely dogs, children, good place if you like loud music.

Cons:

Unavailable to shut windows, shower hard to get in due to large step. Lots of noise after music finished. No reception to be see asked then took in wine bar
No breakfast, stated optio. Of in your room don't do every more, had to go up town paidout £27 per mornings which makes your stay more expensive, wasnt told when we booked.booked

Unfortunately wont stay again
Pros:

Location is fab and if you get there early enough there is a car park at rear with limited spaces.

Cons:

Smallest double ive ever stayed in. 3 coat hangers on coat hooks so if coats wet nowhere else to put them apart from with clothes hanging up. Needs a good hoovering and dusting. Water from shower soaks floor as no seal on bottom of shower screen. Ill fitting blinds in bed and bathrooms so light let in from early morning. No actual hotel staff available, just bar staff once bar had opened. If this was on 4 in a bed I would only pay half.

This is my first choice of places to stay in LLangollen, for location, food, drink and live music
Pros:

Excellent location and the outside area is amazing for both food, drinks and entertainment.
The staff were all so friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble, and the bar area is perfect.
Our room was lovely and big, with everything we needed.

Under funded 'hotel'. Needs TLC.
Pros:

Central location. Pleasant staff. Wine bar food OK.

Cons:

Very noisy. Difficult to park with only 4 places in small courtyard. No breakfast available. Poor maintenance of room - bathroom door didn't close, lamp shade hanging off wall. No plugs near bed. No wardrobe. Dirty carpet. Fittings needed mending.

Bad room with no privacy. Great location.
Pros:

Great location
Friendly staff
Bar downstairs had a great buzz to it, more of a standard bar than a typical wine bar though.

Cons:

The bathroom door didn’t close so there was a gap and no privacy at all. There was also an awful smell in the bathroom like a blocked drain.
Light fixtures had missing bulbs and were falling off the wall.
We expected dated property, but still expected facilities to be working and up to a basic standard
