Nice hotel, but very noisy and busy
Pros:

The location was lovely, everything was easily walkable and the food at the restaurant was really nice

Cons:

I had to be up at 6am for a hike and loud music was playing in the restaurant until gone 10pm. I kept being told different times it would be shut off, eventually a few of us complained and they stopped.

A wonderfully cosy and welcoming hotel in the perfect Snowdonia location.
Pros:

We absolutely loved our stay at The Royal Oak. The location in the heart of Betws-y-Coed was perfect for exploring Snowdonia, and the whole place had such a cosy, welcoming atmosphere. Our room was comfortable and the staff were lovely. A brilliant base for our Snowdonia stay and somewhere we’d happily return to.

Great base camp for daily outing trips all around Wales.
Pros:

Location in Betws-y-Coed was perfect. Right in the middle of town, everything was accessible.

Cons:

No gym, had to walk to a sister hotel to work out. No elevator, but that is typical for older hotels in Wales.

Strange set Up
Pros:

We were a family of 8 looking for an early evening meal, the restaurant wasn’t dog friendly but we were given 2 tables pushed together in the lounge. Had to go & find someone to order, food & drink had to be ordered & paid for upfront at the bar & we were told to collect our own cutlery & serviettes from a station in the lounge. One of the party chose gluten free fish & chips, we were informed after ordering, she couldn’t have GF chips so she chose jacket potato, when her meal arrived it was a fillet of fish with no batter. We got the meal exchanged for curry & rice which she would have ordered if given the correct info in the first place. Customer service was so poor & at-table service non-existent,the young man behind the bar had no knowledge of the wine list & presented us with a poorly opened bottle of red. The food was average & similar if slightly more expensive than other local eating places, all-in-all not a good customer experience.

An average place
Pros:

We only went there for food my partner enjoyed his meal but There was a problem with the first wrap I had and the Staff were very helpful and replaced it with a new meal which was better but not the best for the price I paid it was 10 pound for a bit of crisps a small salad and a wrap a Tesco meal deal is better honestly it's a lovely modern place and staff were very nice but the prices are just too much.
