The hotel is ideally situated for exploring north wales. From check in to check out our weekend stay was excellent. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We ate in the bar and the restaurant and can recommend both. Breakfast is self serve with a good selection of options. The building was well heated and the rooms were comfortable. This was a second visit and definitely won’t be the last.

The initial room we were given (102) was not up to the standard I was expecting and didn’t match any photos online. It also had a zip link bed and was so uncomfortable. I sent a message via Expedia and in the morning went to the reception to ask to be moved. Annette, the assistant manager already had another option to show me and also showed me an executive suite which was similar to the standard I expected after viewing online. They were very helpful and I appreciated being moved and it being dealt with so quickly.
The location to climb snowdon was perfect
Thank you Annette for your help

Hotel is traditional so has a nice feeling about it , but also a bit like fawlty towers.
Our room was small, had a broken shower door that leaked onto the floor and the toilet was located in a way that if you are a biggetr person, you may struggle to use it. The hairdyer was missing from the room and the bedside lamp had no bulb in it.
Staff were nice but the food in the bar is very average. Brekfast was ok, but only 1 hot drinks machine, so always a queue

We booked the Royal Victoria for it's closeness to the Snowdon Railway, I don't think it was even 300 yds, excellent.
Breakfast was buffet style and I have no complaints about the food, it was brilliant.
Unfortunately, our train was only allowed up half way because of storm \"Amy\", however while on our way home we decided to look around the slate lake and people were queuing for the Summit trip, so, my wife went and booked another trip to the summit, we couldn't see anything when we got to the top because of the mist and so windy, but, we did it :-)
We will book the hotel and summit trip next year when the weather isn't going to be an issue!!!

Room was not cleaned prior to check in. Dirt everywhere with unclean carpets, toilet and dated decor. I think a part of the mess was that they only clean your room when you ask, so rooms are not cleaned often. Shower did not work as hot water was not working. Walls were paper thin, so lots of noise overnight. Paid a lot to stay here in my opinion too. Breakfast was good and staff were nice but aside from the location the property offers very little.

I booked a lower priced room that put me in a building across from the lodge, on the ground floor, down a dark hall, and the last door. No wifi, shower leaked for guest prior so carpet was soaked. Bed was hard with ridges in mattress. No take away cups for coffee this morning. Staff very concerned if i was a guest i hah to verify my name and room number every time i walked into a hotel space. No take away cups for coffee, when everyone is there to go to the train station why couldn't i take a cup of coffee with me this rainy morning.

Would visit again. Loved this hotel.

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a thoroughly enjoyable experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff were warm, welcoming, and helpful, creating a relaxed and friendly atmosphere throughout my stay. Every member of the team I encountered was approachable and attentive, making it clear that guest satisfaction is a top priority here.

The room itself was clean, well-maintained, and very comfortable — a perfect space to unwind after a long day. The bed was cozy, the bathroom spotless, and all the facilities were in good working order. Everything felt thoughtfully prepared and tidy, which made for a restful night’s sleep.

I also had a chance to try the food in the bar, and it exceeded expectations. The menu was varied, and everything I ordered was tasty and well-presented. It’s always a bonus when hotel dining is genuinely enjoyable rather than just convenient, and in this case, it really was.

Breakfast the next morning was another highlight, with a wide selection of options available, including well-prepared vegetarian choices. It was fresh, plentiful, and served in a pleasant dining area — a great way to start the day.

Overall, this hotel ticked all the boxes for a comfortable and pleasant stay. With its friendly staff, clean and cozy rooms, and great food options, I wouldn’t hesitate to return. Highly recommended for both business and leisure travellers.

The Hotel is at a great area, everything pretty much walkable. The hotel itself is extremely outdated and needs to be updated in order to charge as much as they do. The room I was staying in was horrible small, barely any room to walk. The walls were extremely thin, literally can hear everything. The whole room shakes when someone will slam the door. The mattress is worn and the pillows are so thin. For someone with back issues, probably not the place to stay. I booked this room including breakfast, but I would have not paid 18 pounds for the selection they had.

Good but could be better

To start with the positive, the staff were generally nice and very helpful, but beyond the front desk, they could smile more. None looked like they were enjoying it!

The room (201) was fine albeit small and nicely decorated, the issues were the noise of the kitchen extractor and the dirtiness. We were told this was due to the steam trains, really? Surely if this were true they'd ensure it was cleaned more!! Anyway the room is the other side of the hotel so we don't buy that.

Lastly, food. Was just ok. Breakfast is good but served through a small hatch. Being so large a restaurant this led to queues and obstructed access and/or the coffee machine, surely it can be positioned better?

Overall was ok, but for the price, it could be better.

That said if you want to hike up Snowdon, this is very convenient and Llanberis is nice

We booked this hotel as we were taking part in a 1am Snowdon walk. It was literally two
minute walk to the Snowdon train station, which was our meeting point.

The village with shops and restaurants was only a few minutes walk away.

Our room was clean and comfortable, quiet and had everything we needed. The breakfast was good and much appreciated after a night hike.

Looking to return for a couple of days to relax and to explore the area a little more.
