Room was clean and the reception area was lovely. Breakfast was plentiful although the young staff were not very helpful. Lovely beer garden although a bit of a walk from the bar. Not many dinner options unless you like Indian fare. Would stay again as the hotel is of the lovely tow. That is Criccieth.

The breakfast was very good, the room was a bit dated and the bed was hard for my liking. The bathroom had a leak from the shower and the water pressure was just about ok.

I’m thoroughly delighted with my stay at this apartment. The location is fantastic, and the parking is convenient. The friendly and welcoming staff, particularly Alex, made my experience even more enjoyable. The breakfast was freshly prepared and served hot, which was a great start to my day. I highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay.

We booked a 1 bed apartment to sleep 4. The room was all set up for arrival with sofa bed and single bed in the lounge and double bedroom. Plenty tea coffee and biscuits. The room was clean and in good condition. Kitchen space was a little basic if you wanted to cook a meal. We didn’t cook but I noticed we were missing a sponge to be able to wash up the mugs we used (nothing major) and there looked to be an electric stove thing in the draw if you wanted to cook in the pans provided. The fridge was a decent size for a hotel. We ate in the restaurant one night and were pretty disappointed in the food especially for the price so opted to eat elsewhere the following nights of our stay. Breakfast was fine and something for everyone. Cereals, fruit, yoghurts, typical English fry up to help yourself to. There were vegetarian options on request too. It did feel like they had skeletal staff on in the restaurant and at breakfast. But the ladies working there were all really helpful with anything we needed and worked none stop.
