Guest Reviews

Ian (2/5): - Clean room
Emilie (6/5): Overnight stay - We stayed at the hotel last weekend. It’s pub with accommodation above. Seems to be a hub of the local community. Location is good if you are happy to drive to destinations. Would have liked it to be slightly more informative when we arrived like how to check out, dinner, where to get water etc. I could see they are working to improve the hotel annd it looks like the dining room has recently been refurbished nicely. Room was clean, fresh sheets, towels, clean bathroom. But I would say the room could do with some TLC as some things were missed such as controller broken, body wash and soap could have been filled up and had to be taken out to be used and vents cleared and window opened to freshen up the air. Food was good and filling.
Ian (10/5): - Very friendly and helpful staff. This is a community run hotel and bar and it is very clear they truly love the place.
Verified traveler (2/5): Think 🤔 twice before booking ❗️ - Shocking, couldn’t believe what I was seeing 👀 has housekeeping been done? Has this place been maintained? I doubt it very much, could not get out fast enough 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃, I could not recommend 👎
josephine (8/5): - Nice area my go back when all rebuild work has been done. No lift . Slamming doors at night.
Mark (10/5): - Great hotel with some stunning views
Jimmy (10/5): - Good food. Comfortable bed room perfect
Verified traveler (8/5): - 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.
Paul (6/5): 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.
brian (8/5): - Great community pub lots of atmosphere
Bilal (6/5): - According to pictures its no where near it.
Ryan (10/5): Charming - Very quaint and delightful hotel with a fantastic pub, staffed by some genuinely lovely people. The rooms were spacious, beds and pillows were extremely comfortable and it was a great atmosphere. Thoroughly enjoyed it, will definitely recommend to friends.
Alona (10/5): wonderful stay - comfortable, clean, nice views around, amazing location, just down from the hotel there is a Snowdonia slate trail. Also the pub the hotel has delicious local beers which are great to enjoy after hiking all day long. The hotel has a long history dating back to 14th century
Eman Hindi (6/5): - 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.
Maria (4/5): Disappointing Stay - We spent two nights at this hotel and unfortunately, it didn’t live up to expectations—especially considering how expensive it was. The entire place felt outdated and in need of renovation, and even basic amenities were missing (there wasn’t even a hairdryer in the room). The worst part was the bathroom. The water pressure was so bad that water wasn’t even flowing—it was just dripping from the shower head, making it nearly impossible to shower. One morning, the pressure improved for about two minutes, but there was no hot or even warm water at all. For the price we paid, we expected at least the basics to be working. Sadly, this wasn’t the case.
Amelia (2/5): 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.
salemah (10/5): - 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.
Callum (6/5): - 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!
JOHN (8/5): - a friendly comfortable
Tracey (10/5): - Very friendly staff, the room was very clean and had everything we needed in it. Will definitely go back
Gemma (6/5): - 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.
Eunice Stella (10/5): 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!
Andy (8/5): - 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?
Paul (8/5): - 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!
Verified traveler (4/5): Worse stay in a B&B for a good long time. - Advertised as including Breakfast on Hotels.com and other websites, this is what we paid for Bed and Breakfast. When checking in was asked ' did you get the email about Breakfast?', No I replied, 'Well we don't provide anything, not even continental'. Thats strange I said, you are clearly advertising and charging customers for Bed and Breakfast. Had an evening meal, which I can only describe as the worse meal I've had for a good long time, one of the meals was inedible, which we complained about and did get a refund. the next few nights we found some decent eating places but had to drive 2-3 miles up the road. No room service to replenish tea / milk etc. This place appears to be run by the community but it appears they are only interested in it for a watering hole for the locals!!
Verified traveler (4/5): Nothing like the pictures or description - I really liked the idea of a community run hotel, but it was simply not worth it. No drinking water in the room (fetch it yourself down the hall), black mould everywhere, cold (window didn't shut, heating was turned off for the whole building and duvet very thin) and we paid for breakfast when booking, then were told they "don't do breakfast" when we got there. For the price they charged it was greatly disappointing.
Andrew (2/5): - Advert says continental breakfast is included, which was reason for booking here not elsewhere locally. Only after checking in we're we informed that no breakfast is available "as there's no chef." A continental breakfast doesn't require a chef - anyone can put out cereal, milk, toast and , pastries! Informed closest village southbound to get breakfast was in Dolellau, a half hour drive away!!! My details were taken for manager to contact me to offer a partial refund. Over a week later and no contact made and false advert for breakfast included remains.
olympe (10/5): Great stay! - 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.
Param (4/5): I wont stay again .. - The stay was not at all good room heater was not working and they have not provided the breakfast which was part of the booking and lot of noise from the pub till mid night. My kids couldn't sleep.
Alex (4/5): - They are misleading people with breakfast included and served but they DON'T SERVE BREAKFAST AT ALL! Stay there only if you must!
Valerie (6/5): - Was expecting breakfast but non available
Michael (6/5): - 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
Liam (8/5): - 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.
