Guest Reviews
- Michael (10/5): - Had a fantastic stay at The Slate. Staff are excellent and very handy having the restaurant and bar downstairs after a long day travelling. Note that rooms are on first floor up a staircase, no lift. Well appointed and cosy room with modern bathroom amenities. Would definitely stay again.
- Antony (6/5): - Main reception is combined with restaurant and bar customers, not very personal welcome. The staff did welcome us kindly, but the access through common areas and kitchen waiting staff traffic was awkward. The steep and high steps too were uncomfortable to ascend and descend with or without luggage.
- Laura (10/5): Birthday treat - I booked the hotel as a treat for my partners birthday. I felt the food was a little pricey for the choices available. Also we were quite a bit away from anything so if we wanted to have a drink together we wwre a bit stuck on places to go. However the room and amenities were great adn staff helpful.
- David (10/5): - Very nice homely place with friendly staff made us feel at home from the start , lovely rooms with comfy beds .food was delicious with good portions .
- Michelle (10/5): - lovely accomadtion staff friendly and lovely food would recommend
- Clair (10/5): Cosy, friendly hotel - Nobody on reception when I arrived but kept entertained by locals in the bar until someone arrived. Room was lovely - comfortable and clean. Sink a little small. Nice that the receptionist called me when I was out to check I had the door code and to take breakfast order. Breakfast was good. Convenient location for Bangor
- Arthur (10/5): Lovely - Lovely little place. Friendly welcoming staff and comfortable spotlessly clean room. Excellent food served in the restaurant. We would definitely recommend.
- James (8/5): - The Slate Hotel offers a pleasant stay in a convenient location. The property is exceptionally clean, and the staff are both friendly and attentive, which made our visit very welcoming. We stayed in a family room (Room 8 – Pont y Pandy) on the first floor, which featured two comfortable double beds. One point to note is that the railway line runs directly behind the hotel, with trains passing approximately every half hour in the evening. While this did not affect us significantly, lighter sleepers may wish to be aware. The hotel is ideally situated for exploring the area, being just 20 minutes from Llanberis and the Snowdon Mountain Railway, and within easy reach of Bangor and the main train stations. Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay and would not hesitate to recommend The Slate Hotel.
- Hayley (8/5): - Location was good, hotel was lovely apart from the noise of the railway line. For future this should be recorded on your booking info, the window didn’t open much and the room was too hot to sleep
- Jo (8/5): Pleasant place in lovely location - Lovely little place with plenty of outdoor seating for a drink from the bar. Good location for getting around sightseeing. Breakfast was good and staff were pleasant and polite. Room was nice with ample wardrobe and draw space. Only downside was the room was very hot and the fan didn’t make a great deal of difference. Due to heat in the room we couldn’t shut the window and the noise from the kitchen extractor and the railway line immediately behind caused some sleep disruption. Would stay again but would ask for a different room.
- Karen (10/5): - Really friendly and helpful staff .. food was really good quality, well cooked and well presented. The room was clean spacious and the bed really comfortable
- Viv (10/5): - We had a great stay, spotlessly clean lovely rooms, very friendly helpful staff and delicious food.
- Mo (10/5): - Room was pristinely clean. Beds were comfortable. Nice en suite bathroom with good shower. Facilities to make a hot drink were replenished on request. Staff were friendly without being intrusive. Didn't eat supper in the restaurant because veggie options were limited. Breakfast was awesome. Would definitely stay there again and recommend to anyone wanting accommodation in the area. Very close to Penrhyn castle and Bangor centre.
- Alun (10/5): I’ll come again - A lovely one night stay.
- Justin (10/5): - Really enjoyable stay. Beautiful location close enough to Bangor but far enough away. Smart clean hotel with personality Really helpful staff
- Mike (8/5): Great life find - A great find and amazing value for money for the single room available for my stay. The only downside is the nearness of the north Wales mainline train service, if you are a light sleeper. I was conscious of a passing train at around 0530 but went back to sleep. Food was excellent - both dinner and breakfast.
- Sam (10/5): - Great service, fantastic food and a great location, rooms were nice also, would recommend
- Dario (10/5): Great stay! Excellent location! - Everything was great! Nothing bad to point out. If I had to nit pick, I'd say the "Rock" keyrings are a bit bulky to carry in your trousers. Apart from that nothing else, the Staff was really friendly!
- Joanna (10/5): - The Slate is a hotel full of charm and warmth, clearly run with love and care. We enjoyed a comfortable and relaxed stay. The restaurant serves delicious food and we were in a great location to enjoy north Wales, with lots to do nearby. Thoroughly recommend!
- Karen (10/5): - We stayed here last year and we were impressed with this hotel. Our recent stay, did not disappoint- friendly staff, comfortable, clean room and excellent meal with great service. This hotel is a perfect stop over if you have an early ferry the next day, as it is only 25 minutes from the port
- Steve (8/5): - The Slate is a quiet little hotel in a nice area. Good beer and food and lovely staff. Enjoyed the walk on the nearby coast.
- Emma (10/5): The Slate Hote - From the start Staff were very friendly rooms are clean and well appointed. The food menu choice was excellent to the point it was difficult to choose a dish. The food was well cooked and presented with a decent portion for a change. The fact that so many locals were eating there showed their reputation for good food was well known On the whole great value and I hope I will get a chance to stay again
- victoria (10/5): - Travelling alone on business. This hotel we just perfect and very accommodation. I will definitely use again inn the future.
- Ifeoluwa (6/5): - Close to train line.
- Anne laure (8/5): Very nice if you like trains - Nice hotel but too close to the train tracks. Maybe they should provide earplugs in the rooms. Everything was nice but it’s hard to sleep undisturbed.
- Denis (10/5): Great Hotel Great Food - As a returning customer am very satisfied - excellent food friendly service and always happy to please. See you next time (already booked)
- J (4/5): Good, but the chef's music ruined it - Check in: friendly, professional and easy. Room: clean, nicely done, comfortable with a beautiful view, though the railway line right next to the room wasn't mentioned. Trains were infrequent and not a problem noise-wise though. All was good until 7.30am on Sunday morning when the chef's need to listen to the radio is obviously seen as more important than allowing Guests to enjoy their night's sleep. The thumping bass and muted singing coming up into the room meant 7.30 was when our sleep was over. Breakfast: You have to pre-order what you want and what time you want it! Really? As it turned out we asked for breakfast at 9am, but we could have had it much earlier as we were awake from 7.30am with the music. What happened to being able to choose what you want to eat (and when you want to eat it) based on how you feel in the morning? The full cooked was very tasty. My daughter's bacon sandwich was very plain though, made with basic sliced white bread. Unfortunately the music blaring from the kitchen clashed with the different music coming from the speakers in the dining room making for a very non-relaxing breakfast experience. We had to ask for butter to go with the toast, but by the time the cold, hard butter came, the toast was also cold so spreading it was challenging. Overall this is nice place, in a great setting and the room was lovely, but our experience in the morning with the music and some aspects of the breakfast service took the edge off our stay.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Excellent Value! - Friendly service all round. Comfortable room. Excellent food & atmosphere. Family friendly Sunday lunch.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Hotel looks good but experience not so good - Arrived just too late to order food so ordered on just eat. When it was delivered, the owner (Male) happened to be near the entrance when i went down stairs to collect. He immediately stated that i wasnt allowed to eat in my room and that i would have to eat downstairs with everyone else which i definitely didnt want to do. I ended up pleading with him to let me eat in my room stating that id been on the road from 8am that morning and it was now 8.30 at night and i was shattered and far from feeling sociable. I even said id eat on the floor so not to get anything on the bed sheets. He eventually gave in and asked what room i was in, presumably so he could check it personally in the morning. He insinuated if there were any stains on the bed sheets or anywhere else, i would be charged but by this time i just agreed as all i wanted to do was get to my room and eat my long awaited dinner. To add to this, i had to phone down to ask to put the heating on as radiators were stone cold, ridiculous as we were in the middle of winter! To be fair, the lady was helpful and polite, especially compared to her male colleague who'd to be honest, made me feel very uncomfortable. There were Christmas parties going on down stairs, understandable due to time of year but no sound proofing in rooms, meant it was quite noisy and far from relaxing. When the bar closed i expected it to quieten down but then tables were screeched and staff were lol. Definitely wouldn't recommend ill not stay again 😔
- Daniel (10/5): A homely hotel with great service - A beautiful homely hotel. I’ve stayed 3 or 4 times while away on business and I’ll continue to stay here. The ambiance and service is really homely and personable. Great food in the bar and the breakfasts too. Really good value
- Jason (10/5): - Clean and beautifully presented. Staff are helpful and friendly.
- David (10/5): - The whole experience at the slate was great. If I had one small gripe it would be that the bed was not the most comfortable but that could be a matter of taste.
- Heather (10/5): - Food was lovely. Beds very comfortable
- Guy (10/5): - Welcoming and friendly .
- Jason (10/5): Loved it - Really loved this Place, Arrived just in time for the best sunday lunch. Room really nice Just a lovely place to stay
- B (8/5): - Friendly staff, food was good, clean comfy rooms and nice decor throughout.
- Michaela (8/5): - Lovely room, super quiet. The bed was so comfortable and clean. No water in room, but everything else you needed was there. Breakfast was ok.. pre order form handy but a mistake was made with my partners food. Items he had asked to remove were on his plate. Service was luke warm… no one to be seen once food was on the table. Juice jugs were empty, empty alpen packets on the table. Limited choice.. maybe some kind of pastry or more toast to make use of the jams would have been nice. Cooked was nice, scrambled eggs were delicious. I would deem £15pp a bit steep so only opted for breakfast the one morning. Would happily stay again if in the area.
- Alistair (10/5): Excellent place - Lovely staff. Checked in in early. Nice setting, hidden away. Excellent modern decor, room was very comfortable and clean. Lady on reception refunded us for dinner as there was a mixup and also very kindly posted me some things I had left behind.
- Susannah (8/5): - The staff were extremely helpful and the food was good. In a great area for walking and sight seeing.
- Ian (10/5): - Great location. Lovely people. Great food.
- Kelly (10/5): - Quite area. Friendly, helpful people
- Derek (10/5): - Faultless
- Mollie (10/5): - Staff were great, friendly and professional. Good was outstanding , location and accommodation great too. What a find. Thanks very much!
- Meurig (10/5): - Very welcoming staff staff on arrival. Food was great and the room was very clean and comfortable with a lovely bathroom. Excellent night's stay.
- Guy (8/5): - Great location for us . Everything we needed in the room . Great service on entry and during breakfast.
- Gary (8/5): - Really nice hotel with good evening meals. Felt breakfast was overpriced at £15 per person. Maybe choice of fresh fruit, yoghurts and pastries would make it nearer to the price charged
- Susan (6/5): - No box of facial tissues in the room .Toilet roll holder rusty.Very drafty around the window. Breakfast choices limited i.e. no fruit or pastries or extra toast or bread /rolls offered.
- Sneh (10/5): - Very helpful and friendly reception and staff.
- Nichola (10/5): - i had a very warm welcome from the time i entered the slate. It was very friendly and had a cosy home from home feel about i was late getting there and they accommodated me with keeping the kitchen open slightly later so that i could have food. Bedroom clean and very comfortable bed. All in all great stay and would recommend.
- Michael (10/5): - The accommodation was clean, modern and comfortable. The food was delicious. The staff were excellent. We will definitely return.
- nicol (10/5): - Nice hotel Good parking and room was very nice. breakfast was good too. Hotel is quite far nothing really around so you need a car to get to places
- Anthony (10/5): Lovely - Room lovely and the staff extremely welcoming, nothing was too much trouble
- RICHARD (8/5): - Really friendly pub with rooms with excellent service throughout. Room was decent - especially for just the one night stay. Only slight negative is that there is a trainline that runs immediately behind the pub so there is noise from that from early morning until late evening which may bother some.
- Barry (8/5): Expensive rooms - It was a nice small hotel and the food was very good and reasonably priced, but the room was overpriced at £130 per night for a deluxe room, which was a pretty standard room with just bed, wardrobe and dressing tables. We would stay again but only at a better rate, more like £80 per night.
- Hannah (10/5): Brilliant stay - fantastic food! - We have just stayed at the Slate over the August bank holiday. Lovely rooms, the staff were very friendly and couldn’t do any more for us, and the food was fantastic! The location was great for the snowdonia hikes. Would recommend and definitely stay there again.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - This was a quiet comfortable little hotel. Staff were attentive, friendly and welcoming. Food was of a good standard. Would happily stay again.
- Colin (10/5): Lovely Bangor hotel - Lovely hotel which I happily recommend. Great meal which was good value. Breakfast good too.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Everything from the service and amenities to food was amazing
- Paul (10/5): - Always very friendly welcome. Great facilities. Lovely food
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Building and rooms were comfortable. Service was very slow. Had to go and find staff to order an evening meal and again at breakfast. Food was ok
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Recently refurbished, the room was cosy, tastefully decorated, very clean and provided a very comfortable sleep - and first nights in new places aren’t often this comfortable. Great welcome, tasty dinner, arriving somewhere new after a long day, I was contented!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Parking is good. Easy to access off motorway. Good food
- Gerard (10/5): Great find ! - Meg on reception was excellent a credit to the hotel
- Chris (10/5): 1st Class - Professional yet friendly. Very helpful and accommodating with great service. Room was clean and comfortable and the food was fantastic (and reasonably priced too). All in all, great value for money
- S (10/5): Staff effort much appreciated! - We were celebrating my husband's birthday and I requested "something special" at dinner. It was absolutely fantastic,i.e. decorations like birthday banner and confetti- the surprise really made my husband's day! Fabulous service- thanks! The only small issue was that our room was next to the train track and I was shocked due to the vibrations. Nevertheless, it was a lovely room - my husband and daughter enjoyed the stay, which is what counts!
- Martin (10/5): - Awesome
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice Place - The service was Excellent as we pre ordered the food on the phone and the food was ready by the time we arrived. We had a business meeting the next morning and the false fire alarm went off earlier morning and we could not sleep after that . Overall I would say the place is good.
- Dean (8/5): Nice hotel and restaurant - Room was clean and bed comfortable. Food was very good and reasonably priced.
- SHIRLEY (6/5): - Nice clean comfortable room and good location. Saturday overnight stay waited for 2 hours in the Bar after placing meal order, and gave up and left the Bar without being served any food !! Noisy until 1.00 am. At least Breakfast was good!
- Daniel (10/5): - great little place to stay
