Staff were lovely, hotel had everything you could want and the food, especially breakfast was top class. A bit short on parking and not a fan of the automated check in but it was simple enough. A beautiful place to visit and great hotel to stay in.

Had a really pleasant stay at Gwydyr Hotel. The hotel is charming, well-maintained, and very comfortable, with spotless rooms and a cosy atmosphere. Service was warm and attentive, and breakfast was delicious.

Just a small note that there’s no lift, but staff were helpful and everything else more than made up for it. Would happily stay again and recommend it.

The Gwydyr Hotel has a three-star rating that based on a recent overnight stay is just about justified.
The hotel is well located, but parking is a challenge with property’s car park being cramped and inadequate for the size of the hotel.
When accessed from the car park, the lobby and reception give a positive impression.
Our room was at the back of the hotel, overlooking the car park. It had two beds: a double and a single. A night’s sleep was difficult to achieve as the double was small and sunken in the middle, while the single sloped significantly from left to right. The carpet was well trodden with the odd floorboard that moved when walked on and a hanging rail serving as a wardrobe.
The en suite bathroom was similar, being tired with a sloping floor and a corner sink so small that it was a challenge just to wash your face. The same applies to the shower cubicle.
While areas of the hotel have been improved, the carpet in the hall and on the stairs appears well-worn.
Breakfast was fine, being a combination of buffet and a la carte, although service was initially somewhat indifferent, albeit better thereafter.
Overall, the hotel is akin to a curate’s egg, being partly good and partly bad.

Positives -

Really friendly check in/bar staff. We were lucky and managed to get a space in the hotel car park, and nice that it was free. Nicely designed communal spaces, and clean throughout.

Negatives -

We booked a deluxe double, but when we got to the room we found it was very basic, set up as a twin and right on the junction of the busy roads. I did go back to reception to question the room and if it was a deluxe and was told that it was (Room 4). I was told it could be set up as a double if needed but it was already late, and it would have been 2 beds pushed together and not a double bed as in the photos.

Very deceiving as the photos shown on hotels.com as standard twin was our exact room, so either we were giving the wrong room type or the photos are incorrect.

The single beds were small and not the most comfortable to be honest and dipped in the middle.

Overall it was fine for 1 night but not being given the correct room was highly disappointing and ultimately meant we didn’t want to spend money on dinner or breakfast at the hotel.

Impossible to Sleep

The hotel is very nice, and in a great location but on night 1, at 23:30 when we were trying to sleep, a huge amount of noise from the downstairs bar happened until 01:30am. It was so loud. We could not sleep and we had a 50 mile ultra marathon to run the next day.

So we managed to get some hours after the racket stopped. Dont know if it was guests or public or staff making the noise but it was very very loud.

After the ultra, we were trying to sleep on day 2 and at 00:30am the very same happened again.

I dont know what they do at this hotel but its very weird and odd how they expect people to sleep when this very loud lot of shouting, rowdyness, loutish behaviour is happening in the early hours.

Wont stay here again purely for the fact that youll never ever get a good nights sleep

Just average.

The location is great but the hotel standards are average at best. The room was tiny, dated, with no fridge and the most uncomfortable, tiny bed.
The bar area is nice but drinks prices are extortionate. The quality of restaurant food is very poor.
The best thing about the hotel were staff- very friendly, helpful and professional.

On site parking, managed to get a space which was good. The hotel is nice and clean. Room was small but good enough for 1 person. It had a chair and a luggage holder as well as multiple hooks on the wall + hangers which was convenient. It also had a smart TV which was good as some hotels don’t. So I was able to log into my Netflix account and watch my shows. (Remember to sign out if you do this) :)
It’s close to plenty of shops and restaurants which is good as they’re within walking distance.
I got room service and the food was delicious! (Specifically the Margarita Pizza + Sticky Toffee Pudding dessert).

Disappointed stay

We picked this hotel due to its EV charging on site, on day 1 there where non electric cars parked there and when i asked the staff if they could with reaching out to owners to swap, i was told no. On day 2, again a non electric car was parked in 1 spot and the ev charger did not work in the other. Again with no help from the staff, but redirected down the road.
The bathroom bin was full of rubbish and the bed sheet was stained.
Food was nice and chef was friendly.

2 night stay in the Gwydyr Hotel Betws-Y-Coed.

An excellent 2 night stay in a single room in the Gwydyr Hotel, Betws-Y-Coed. My room was comfortable and clean as was the bathroom. We were a party of 7 plus a dog celebrating a 50th Birthday. We ate in the hotel both evenings and we all enjoyed our food. The breakfast menu included continental and cooked food which was well presented and delicious. There was plenty of space to relax in the comfortable lounges. All the staff were were kind, friendly and knowledgeable. Pricewise I would say that it was good value for the level of comfort and service. All in all I would recommend the Gwydyr Hotel when staying in this beautiful part of Wales.

Good value hotel

Room was clean, staff were friendly, food was decent. My supply of coffee was topped up with extra sachets when the staff saw that I'd bought my own jar of coffee after I ran out.

The atmosphere of the hotel is pleasant and cosy.

The hotel is a short walk from the town centre, which makes it cheaper than more central places - but if you can't stand a five-minute walk, what are you doing in Betws-y-Coed? :)

Excellent hotel/staff/location in Betts-y-Coed

A beautiful, spacious hotel, with large bedrooms and pleasant views front and back. Situated in the centre of Betws-Y-Coed and within a short 5 minute walk to the train station. Dog friendly with water and treats and dedicated bedrooms for dog families. We found that all the staff here were so friendly and helpful, going the extra mile with any request we had. In particular, James, who gave us a free lift to and from Zip World Fforest as pure car was blocked in by a cherry picker in the small car park! They do a really tasty jacket potato with tuna mayonnaise and side salad. It was hot, quality food and a large portion too! And reasonably priced for hotel food. Good selection of draft drinks. If I could change a couple of things, I would ask for help next time in taking luggage to the 3rd floor as there is no lift. I also think the wine is a bit cheap tasting. Other than these minor gripes, It’s a fabulous hotel. The staff are excellent. Faultless!

Nicer than 3* - great value for money, nice food and reasonable prices - didn’t bring my dogs this time but was noticeably dog friendly so I would bring them another time.
We arrived very early and we couldn’t check in early but could leave the car for free and explore.
Mum loved her £12 breakfast that was both hot and continental and could go back for fruit and toast and cereal as many times as you wanted - tea coffee and juices all good.
Comfy beds and great night sleep in classic twin on top floor - front view over the high street and nice garden / field with hills in the distance, very quiet at night and we both slept very well. Nice hot shower at 9am, even got good WiFi signal in the loft. Room spacious and looked recently updated with nice decor and modern shower room.
The lady in the restaurant worked particularly hard in the evening (didn’t get her name) and although alone and busy she kept food moving and bills paid and tables cleared in excellent time and even chased a customer up the high street with some lost property - dogs were not allowed in the restaurant which I overheard a customer complain about but the bar food was very good and plenty of dog friendly tables and seating options inside and out with patio heaters. In the restaurant you can also ask for the bar food menu so get to choose from both which was good - especially for me as there’s a lot I can’t eat and didn’t struggle from either menu.
I would definitely return, thank you

Beautiful location. Room size was fantastic. Because the room was so large a king size bed would have been perfect. The four poster bed is lovely to look at, but not very practical. My husband is 6ft 2 and found the length of the bed difficult, as his feet were unable to hang off the bed due to the bed frame. The restaurant did transfer a lot of noise until 10pm each night. Generally we had a really good stay and would recommend it.

My room was more than suitable for my needs and was clean.

I decided to eat at the hotel, which was the right decision to have made. The food was exceptionally presented and had bags of flavour.
