The accommodation offered both hotel and bunkhouse options which is misleading as this states it is a hotel. The bathroom was well-maintained, although the room was situated next to a fan and the bed was quite firm which made it very hard to sleep. The quality of the staff's service varied, depending on the timing of interaction.

Sorry I don’t like leaving a poor review but !! My room was miserable solo room , window lock was broken so couldn’t leave on latch , the very small shower room wasn’t very clean , asked to have money back to leave but couldn’t as manager had gone on holiday !I was offered another room but that was worse , mouldy lamp shades /curtains. Crack in the sink , hair in the bath plug hole , furniture all shabby … lamps and kettle not working but got them fixed by a lovey handy man …some staff didn’t speak , others were lovely … glad to come home early

Hotel doesn't seem interested to cater to guests!
Me and my friend really looked forward to our stay after hiking and camping in rainy weather in Snowdonia. We booked specifically for the spa, so were beyond disappointed upon arrival, when we were told that we could not book a slot in the spa because all slots were being saved for GroupOn guests which had this feature included in a deal - but who might or might not even want to use the spa! Despite there being free slots, we were not allowed to book one. I am absolutely appalled by this - hence the low rating. I think that if you have a deal on which prevents other guests to enjoy their stay fully, then send out an email and give us a chance to book elsewhere. After begging and getting a bit annoyed, the person at reception finally gave us a 5pm slot - only because some GroupOn guests had not arrived in time. 2nd disappointment: no hot water in the room, showered in freezing water. The 3rd disappointment came when we wanted to book a table for dinner. At check-in we were told that we could decide re dinner later. At 6pm we tried to book at any time they had a table free, we were flexible. Only to be told that everything was fully booked. Surprised that a hotel doesn't do more than one sitting, we could see the dining room currently had plenty of room. But we ate elsewhere and came back just after 8pm. To find an abandoned dining room and a half-empty bar! Must've been a crammed hour of dinner service while we were away!!

We had a lovely break here. Hotel is not new, but full of character, which I personally prefer over slick modern hotels, and the hotel is no more than 20 miles ish from everything to do in this area. Perfect.
