Great but i feel there is a lot of profiteering going on during the snowdon race weekend. cant even afford the price for next year, so sadly llanberis wont get our money due to the price of the hotel so we stay elsewhere

We spent two nights in the Coach House in early July and found it clean and comfortable. Our room was accessible by a relatively steep and narrow set of stairs, which was fine for us but could be an issue for travelers with mobility issues or a lot of luggage. There is no air conditioning but a fan was provided (though given then outlet locations, we weren't able to position it in a very helpful location). The location of the hotel is great and we were able to walk to the bus stop to take the bus to the Pen y Pass trailhead, and then back down the Llanberis Path directly to the hotel.

Breakfast was nice and included a good selection of hot and cold items (eggs, hash browns, toast, fruit, cereal, etc.) and beverages. We enjoyed afternoon snacks, drinks and dinner in the bar area and picnic tables outside. There weren't many places open for a late lunch or early dinner in town so we spent most of our free time at the hotel.

The demographic while we were there was a bit strange - lots of elderly folks who appeared to be part of a tour group. Not sure if that's typical, but it made it feel a little like we were staying in a retirement home.

Got probably the hottest room on the property, as sun still beating in the window at 8pm arrival. Despite a fan in the room it was pretty unbearable.
Bar food very much on the pricy side, breakfast fine.
Staff nice, happy to look after my bag on checkout whilst I walked the hill.

Good hotel, helpfull staff, plenty of parking. Free room upgrade. Downside buffet breakfast which is served from 7am lets down the hotel. Menu says hot breakfast, food barely luke warm at best. You could tell the sausages and hash browns had been reheated and reheated. No choice apart from english breakfast or cold selection. Would have been good to have waiter service at table and choice ie eggs benedict, smoked salmon etc. Perhaps hotel can take these comments on board which otherwise somewhat enjoyable holiday.

Booked our stay at the Royal Victoria Hotel for the purpose of hiking up Snowden.
This was a great choice as the hotels location was ideal, being a few hundred yards from the start of the Llanberis path. The hotel itself was very clean, staff super friendly, and the room met our needs. Car parking wasn't a problem as the car park has ample space, and as previously mentioned, is a stone throw from the start of the path we would take to the summit.
Eating was good, choice of the restaurant or simply eat in the bar area with all the usual choices you'd expect, fish and chips, steak, pies or vegetarian options. Buffet style breakfast served from 7am, with plenty of choices to suit most people.
Overall really happy with our stay, and will be returning in the future.
A defiant for hikers or even folk wanting a quiet scenic get away, recommended!

The Royal Victoria Hotel gets so much right it hardly seems worth mentioning anything it falls down on- but for info I'll mention the TV in the lounge was broken so no World Cup, and the room was warm at night- but that's a common experience across the industry. The food, service, gardens, cleanliness and interiors were superb. This was our second visit; standards still as high as ever. And the food at the restaurant - it's knockout. A credit to the region.

The hotel is in a superb location and the gardens are beautiful. We enjoyed delicious evening meals in the bar and breakfast was good with great views if you managed to get a table in the conservatory. The room was fine with a comfy bed and fabulous Mountain View’s a good selection of tea/coffee. The bathroom was disappointing though, there were rust marks on the wall and bath from the handrail over the bath and the towel rail was very close to the toilet so I think if it had been on you may burn yourself. This would not deter us from staying again but it does make the room appear in need of improvement.

If you want to keep an eye on the Snowdon Mountain Railway or be close to the beginning of the Llanberis path up Mt. Snowdon, this is the place to be. And, if its raining and cold, you'll be content to eat at the Hotel's pub. There's a short walk through the woods to Dolbadarn Castle which is, yes, a castle in Wales, and very picturesque. Breakfast is adequate- an arrival of multiple coaches may have you relocated to a smaller dining room which happened to us, but then we were not on anyone else's schedule so all was satisfactory. The hotel is convenient to local bus service and an easy walk into town for more stores, outfitters and restaurants. Staying in this Hotel gives you a connection to Snowdon's past as it has been present in some form for nearly 200 years on the site. Stay there, eat a healthy breakfast and begin your ascent. What's wrong with that?

Not worth the money at all! Room and hallways were dirty, there was no toilet paper in our room, and lots of things were broken. Just felt really, really old and poorly maintained. Tiny room.
Part of why we chose this was due to the breakfast photos on google, that look amazing. So disappointed! It was a buffet, but a really sad one. Poor choices, and didn't look nice. We skipped out as quickly as we could

A Symphony of brown, beige, caramel and every hideous colour under the sun. Very creaky rooms, I could hear the next-door people quite clearly walking about on the squeaky floorboards and even talking. I dread to think what it would be like in a fire – very confusing interior layout and no signs to the staircases, so that you can easily get lost. Not enough parking either. And the postcode is the same as the local railway station - so it’s hard to find unless you know where it is. The breakfast hall felt like a mental hospital refectory.

Just back from a 2 night stay at The Royal Victoria Hotel and after having read some very mixed reviews, I didn't really know what to expect, but the place was absolutely fine. Location was literally just across the road from the start if the Llanberis path for Snowdon or the railway if yiu wanted to get the train up.
We found the staff, room and breakfast all to be ideal. Our only little downside was the shower tray filled up with water but we let them know when we checked out.
I had booked the coach house, but upon arrival found we'd actually been put in the hotel, so was even better.
There were tea/coffee making facilities in the room which you could get more of at the reception, an iron, ironing board, hairdryer, fan and a sofa alongside a superking size bed (2 singles pushed together).
I would stay there again if I ever went to that area and its the perfect location for sightseeing and climbing Snowdon.

Large hotel catering for coach trips, food in the bar was good and the restaurant food was delicious however the breakfast was average as although we had a nice room to eat in the buffet breakfast was served in the coach trip room which wasn’t ideal.
Our room in the Coach house was very small for almost £200 a night but it was clean and comfortable.

I attended on UTS2026 as a volunteer and a competitor. This hotel is about 5 mins by walking to the start line of the race.
The room was clean and had almost everything I wanted. I only missed a bath tub that I wanted to use after the race, but I only got a shower.
The staff were very helpful and polite.
The breakfast was also fantastic.
This was my 2nd time in the Royal Victoria Hotel. I am sure I will be back for another visit next year as I have an unfinished business with the race as I DNFed.

The room was quiet, comfy bed, clean, good quality linen etc. Bathroom although clean, could do with an update. Shower was over bath which is not great, shower screen didn't do anything and water was over floor. The bath panel was ruined because of water ingress. Wouldn't stop me staying again, its probably one if the nicest hotels in area, I've stayed in other rooms which have normal shower.

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.

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!!!
