Very nice place. The room had everything we needed for our weekend in Snowdonia. The location was great to access different hikes on the area. Great place for dog owners.

Apart from them not expecting me, they weren't doing breakfast and the telly was broken, I have no complaints. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the room was just what was hoped for with a comfortable bed and functioning hot shower. A bit pricey for a pub in April.

There was a warm, efficient welcome. The room and bathroom were spotless, the bed comfortable and the water steaming hot. I cannot comment on the food as the kitchen was unfortunately closed when I stayed so no breakfast (which was included in the description on the Expedia website) or evening meal, which I had hoped for. The beer was good in the bar, though!

Location was good for stay near Snowdonia national park. Room was cosy with the essentials needed after a days hiking. Unfortunately there was a party occurring downstairs and found the noise travelled. We also didn’t receive a breakfast

Warm Room, Cool Views 🗻

I had a great stay at Y Pengwern Hotel. The room was super cozy, spotless, and had everything I needed to feel right at home - perfect for winding down after a day out. I really appreciated the extra heaters they provided—perfect if you like the room toasty and warm. The view from the window was absolutely stunning. It looked right out over the mountains, and catching the sunrise and sunset from there made the whole trip feel even more special. The staff were all really friendly and helpful, which added to the relaxed, welcoming vibe of the place. I’d happily stay there again!

The mattress and pillows were horrible, super thin spring mattress with thin pillows. The shower looked like it had black mold in the cracks. The staff were very nice, but I wouldn't come back because of the quality.

Have no expectations when booking this hotel…

No hot water , had a cold shower, after hiking all day, even after reporting it 3 times. They could not swap the room as the water in there was also cold. Poor cleaning, poor breakfast choices and services. Worktop in the bar area was sticky. Nice location.

The room felt safe overall, but there were a few issues. The window couldn’t open, making it a bit hot, and the curtains didn’t block any light—expect to wake up early with the sun. Noise from the busy pub below lasted until around 10pm. The lower bed had very little headroom, even when just sitting up.

Positives - Lovely view from bedroom window. Very warm and comfortable bedding. Extra heaters - room lovely and warm. Staff helpful - gave ideas for dinner, member of the public got me extra milk for my room. Free parking Negatives Hairs in shower Was expecting breakfast as included when booked. Room was not one of the renovated ones, needed doing - sellotape on crack on window, very old furniture, etc.

We were running late and I called and told them that we were going to be later than expected and the girl was so nice she told us that it was okay they were going to wait for us, we finally got there after 11pm and they were there waiting for us, she said they were concerned because of the road and it was raining and misty, they were so nice and friendly and the gentleman helped bringing our luggage upstairs. I give them 10/10.

Checked in and was greeted by friendly staff. Room was in much need of a refurbishment. Everything was quite run down. No hot water so had a cold shower, luckily it was the hottest day of the year. The window wouldn’t shut and the curtain let in all the light so prepare to be awake from 430am in the summer. Room aside it’s a lovely community pub, we stayed for food which was really nice and had beers in the sun in the beer garden. All staff friendly and check out easy. Overall - would recommend if rooms had a bit of an upgrade!

Could have been better

Bedside light didn't work because their was no wall socket to plug it in on one side of the bed. The other side was fine. The shower was noisy and the water would go from very cold to too hot and back again. The shower room was a bit shabby .The breakfast was not much for the price. I also had to tune the TV in to watch BBC. The bed was comfortable but to low . The Good News, What staff we did see where a credit and very pleasant.

The overall stay was good very helpful and friendly staff and locals too. But I got an email to inform me about they don’t do breakfast any more. This was not their fault, but it was sent too late for me to cancel and rebook anywhere else and get a full refund. Any chance of some money back from hotels. Com at all?
