Guest Reviews

Neil (8/5): - Nice room at a good price. Good breakfast too in the restaurant. Recommend.
John (8/5): - Proper old fashioned pub. Very child friendly. Good value
Gary Christopher (8/5): - Comfortable room with en-suite toilet & shower. Pleasant staff, bar prices very reasonable. Good atmosphere in pub areas. Food not bad, (cheese sauce on nachos not good) Would recommend as a good base for surrounding attractions.
Gary (8/5): Good hotel - Nice place to stay clean , comfortable beds , lovely food and around 1 hrs drive to the ferry terminal
Dallas (8/5): - Host was lovely. Beautiful breakfast, great surroundings.
Aidan (6/5): Good and not so good! - Staff were lovely. Food was Lovely. Room was clean. Bathroom was separate from the room. Not ideal for trips to the bathroom during the night. Bar noise from downstairs. Sofa bed was not big enough for 2 children. Very creamy bed.
jayne (6/5): Disappointing - Very clean room, comfortable bed, good shower. Lovely meal in the restaurant It as a cold day/night and the heating was off so the room was cold. Our room was next to a very Noisey boiler which was very loud. The decor was bland and uninviting The room was overpriced and breakfast was an additional cost
Dhinesh (6/5): - Given room is not en-suite, and it’s separated outside. No hot water in the morning (was working fine in previous night) and no one there to respond when trying to inform. Took cold shower, being with family and kids, terrible experience.
Martin (8/5): - Very nice and quiet location but the address is misleading as you think you are staying in Betswy.
Philip (10/5): - Friendly staff, clean facilities and great food
Michael (10/5): Trip to North Wales - My 1st time staying at the Y Giler Arms was delightful, friendly staff, tasty food with a lovely view. Will happily stay here again. Listening to the Welsh language being spoken by many patrons and staff was a breath of fresh air.
Janine (10/5): - The staff were very welcoming and helpful. We had booked a family room which had to be changed to two rooms, but they were right next to each other and it worked well in the end. The rooms were clean and comfortable and we enjoyed our stay.
Rosemarie (8/5): - Very clean and friendly atmosphere. Excellent area for walking. Easy drive to Bala town and lakes
Lee (2/5): Poor front of house and not Pet Friendly - Y Giler is not Pet friendly as they continue to state on this website. 1 week after they turned us away due to us having a Dog...they are still advertising as Pet Friendly. This place left us high and dry without anywhere to stay, were completely unhelpful and really couldn't care less.
Oana (6/5): - Staff was nice but needs to be more organised. We were not aware we needed to order breakfast the evening before and in the morning took us some time to find any of the staff, even to leave the room key when we left.
Dennis (10/5): - A really great experience with a large selection of foods to suit all tastes. The staff displayed a friendly and helpful performance, making it a really enjoyable and relaxing vacation..
Verified traveler (10/5): - We were made to feel very welcome, staff were helpful and friendly. Food was excellent. The room was so clean and well laid out, it was restful when you came back from a long day out.
Verified traveler (10/5): - A well run and friendly b&b
Steven (10/5): Wonderful stay. - This property is set amongst beautiful farmland with great views. We got a warm and friendly welcome on arrival and were shown to our room. The room was quite small (but adequate) and very tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. We had all the facility's needed for our 2 night stay. Betws-y-Coed is around 10 minutes drive away, so we decided to have our evening meals at the property. The food was really good and the service from the staff exceptional. If visiting N. Wales again, we would definitely stay here without hesitation.
Rebecca (8/5): - Cute little room and friendly staff
andrew (6/5): Not the best and miles out of town. - The advert on hotels.com says it’s in Betsw-y-coed, it’s not and cost us £25 each way in taxi fairs. The hotel book in the room says that the staff will do anything for you.. we asked them to book us a taxi and we’re greeted with “don’t you have mobile phone reception”. We ended up taking to a member of staff 5 times before we actually got a taxi booked. The rooms are on the small side which isn’t a bad thing but the walls are paper thin and we were kept awake by someone snoring in the room next to us. Service is not great, at breakfast we ask for a full cooked and toast.. the full cooked breakfast arrived and we waited for the toast, and waited until we had to remind someone we wanted toast. When it arrived it was warm bread not toast. Best thing to say about the hotel is it has amazing views.
Paul (10/5): Exceeding expectations for a last minute booking - Amazing staff, great location, good (basic) menu but excellent prices, clean rooms and overall a fantastic one night stopover. TV doesn't get reception sometimes so if you want to watch the Euros you're out of luck (some may take that as a huge positive 😂). I had the single room overlooking the lake and woke up to see the sunrise, which was breathtaking. I could have booked somewhere more modern in Conwy or Llandudno but this place makes a great alternative and the drive and the views are spectacular.
Verified traveler (8/5): - Nicely located
Andrew (10/5): Nice place good access to North Wales. - A lovely place to spend a few nights. Good food in the evening and for breakfast but you have to make your own arrangements for lunch (hardly a problem - eat while you're out).
Ceri (8/5): - The evening meal and breakfast were lovely. The room was clean and functional
AndyMac (10/5): - Lovely place with nice views and good access to Snowdonia. Staff very friend, chatty and helpful. Really made us feel welcome. Food and beer was excellent and at very reasonable prices.
r j (10/5): Good value for money - 2 night stay whilst walking in the area. Very pleasant stay. Very clean and organised in terms of social distancing. Wi fi not working but didn't matter as good mobile signal. Good pub food with large choice of menu items. Tracey the owner was hospitable and welcoming. Would we go back again - yes we would.
Verified traveler (10/5): Wonderful Friendly Guesthouse - Wonderful friendly staff, the best service ever. Room 1 family room was a little damp but then it had rained a lot which was great for the waterfalls nearby. Meals in the pub were great & nothing was too much trouble for Tracey. Would definitely recommend it as a base for Betws-y-coed & ZipWorld
Verified traveler (8/5): - The interior of the property was much smarter than the exterior appearance
Meghan (10/5): Fantastic stay! - We loved our stay at Y Giler Arms. The owners and staff made sure we were comfortable as well as had an enjoyable stay. The location is gorgeous and you will definitely be embedded in the local culture if you decide to enjoy a beer or two at the bar.
Peter (10/5): Lovely, cosy B&B - Lovely room and great service, was at an event starting at Glan y Gors kart track and Y Giler Arms is very convenient to the track. Rooms look to have been recently upgraded and are very cosy.
John (8/5): - Even though I was the only guest on one night, the service and attention was still high
Verified traveler (6/5): - The bedroom was nicely decorated and the beds very comfortable. The bathroom had good quality fittings but it was far too small. A minute washbasin which overflowed and no shelving for own toiletries were the main drawbacks. The restaurant service was rather slow and the food a little disappointing.
Verified traveler (8/5): - Lovely setting enjoyed the tranquility. Room was lovely with double aspect windows
Verified traveler (8/5): - The outside of this Inn looks a bit shabby, but inside it is all modern in a pleasing way. Be warned though you can check in from 4.30, the Inn does not open until 6.00 so you have to go to the adjacent cottage to gain initial admittance between those times. Staff very pleasant and helpful.
Adelle (10/5): Short break - A lovely little inn tucked slightly out of Betws y coed. Immaculately clean room with sumptuous towels. The food was lovely both breakfast and in the evening with just enough on the menu to keep it interesting. We would definitely revisit
Robin (10/5): Nice friendly place - Quick, in and out visit. Very friendly, clean, comfy small room.
Ravi (10/5): Great stay at Y Giler Arms!!! - Our family had an amazing stay at Y Giler Arms recently. The proprietors and staff were very friendly, welcoming and hospitable. The food was great (complimentary Welsh breakfast, superb dinner very reasonably priced). Enjoyed conversation at the pub. Close to attractions (Snowdonia mountains, Conway castle/coast). Will definitely stay there again.
Mike (10/5): Great food! - Food was unbelievable, room was clean and modern with great views! Staff very helpful and friendly. The only downside i could say was we booked it hoping to have a few afternoon drinks in the beer garden but pub dosent open till 6, but would definitely return!
mark (10/5): Lovely hosts, great place - Great hosts, nothing was too much trouble. Nice clean recently refurbished room. Some nice views and walks around and about Reasonably priced food and drinks in the restaurant. We would happily stay here again.
Ahmad (10/5): Highly recommended - Very friendly staff and helpful. Highly recommended. Would definitely stay again.
Ahmad (10/5): Highly recommended - Very friendly and helpful staff
Cory (8/5): - The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I had inadvertently booked a room without a full bath and they upgraded me at no additional charge. The setting is lovely.
Tim (6/5): OKie - Room and bathroom both good. Other areas around the pub tired and ‘70s, but with a captive market (campsite), quite busy. Food ok. Service ok. Beer ok. Breakfast ok. Overall: ok!
Garry (10/5): Garry,Karen Amy and Toffee - A quick little break with the dog and family. Made very welcome. Dogs allowed in bar not lounge. Nice sitting area outside. Good walking areas for dog. Very pleased will stay again.
Humberto (10/5): Y Giler Arms Review - Good place, reasonably priced with a very convenient pub. Breakfast was excellent and the people very nice. Room was clean and service was very good. TV and wifi worked very well. The parking is free and have plenty of space.
Mike (8/5): Friendly owners. Lake & Views. Good value Food - Friendly owners - Flexible and helpful. Lovely Lake & Views. Very Good value Food and drink
Verified traveler (8/5): - Pleasant roon, attentive staff and good food. Very reasonable price.
Liza (10/5): Beautiful scenery - The staff was very friendly and happy to talk to you and make you feel welcome. The room was spacious and the bathroom was clean and modern. The food both in the evening and breakfast was hot and delicious not to mention a generous portion. The location of the hotel was brilliant for my group that went to zip world. It had beautiful back drops and it was a shame I didn’t get time to have to explore. I would definitely recommend the hotel and would happily stay there again.
john (10/5): Exellent - Friendly pub with great food ,rooms nice and clean, only comment was on the common bathroom which was in need of updating but the owners have plans to do this in the next few months.would definitely come back here
Caroline (10/5): Hidden Gem - Excellent location for Snowdon and North Wales, could not fault, we will be returning!!!
Susan (8/5): Overnight - This is one of those times you don't judge a book by its cover. Quite old hotel, wondered if we had done the right thing. Looked like it was closed but along came the owner,sorry don't know name, showed us to our room which was quite generous in size. Clean and comfortable bed. Had our evening meal in restaurant which was very good. Good range of choices, very good service. Breakfast was just as good. The only thing was that it was a shared bathroom which we knew,but if full there was only one toilet and shower. All in all a nice overnight stay
