wonderful stay
comfortable, clean, nice views around, amazing location, just down from the hotel there is a Snowdonia slate trail. Also the pub the hotel has delicious local beers which are great to enjoy after hiking all day long. The hotel has a long history dating back to 14th century

Very nice place. The room had everything we needed for our weekend in Snowdonia. The location was great to access different hikes on the area.
Great place for dog owners.

Think 🤔 twice before booking ❗️
Shocking, couldn’t believe what I was seeing 👀 has housekeeping been done? Has this place been maintained? I doubt it very much, could not get out fast enough 🏃♂️🏃♀️🏃, I could not recommend 👎

Overnight stay
We stayed at the hotel last weekend. It’s pub with accommodation above. Seems to be a hub of the local community. Location is good if you are happy to drive to destinations. Would have liked it to be slightly more informative when we arrived like how to check out, dinner, where to
get water etc. I could see they are working to improve the hotel annd it looks like the dining room has recently been refurbished nicely. Room was clean, fresh sheets, towels, clean bathroom. But I would say the room could do with some TLC as some things were missed such as controller broken, body wash and soap could have been filled up and had to be taken out to be used and vents cleared and window opened to freshen up the air. Food was good and filling.

Apart from them not expecting me, they weren't doing breakfast and the telly was broken, I have no complaints. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the room was just what was hoped for with a comfortable bed and functioning hot shower. A bit pricey for a pub in April.

Location was good for stay near Snowdonia national park. Room was cosy with the essentials needed after a days hiking.
Unfortunately there was a party occurring downstairs and found the noise travelled. We also didn’t receive a breakfast

There was a warm, efficient welcome. The room and bathroom were spotless, the bed comfortable and the water steaming hot.
I cannot comment on the food as the kitchen was unfortunately closed when I stayed so no breakfast (which was included in the description on the Expedia website) or evening meal, which I had hoped for. The beer was good in the bar, though!

Warm Room, Cool Views 🗻
I had a great stay at Y Pengwern Hotel. The room was super cozy, spotless, and had everything I needed to feel right at home - perfect for winding down after a day out. I really appreciated the extra heaters they provided—perfect if you like the room toasty and warm.
The view from the window was absolutely stunning. It looked right out over the mountains, and catching the sunrise and sunset from there made the whole trip feel even more special.
The staff were all really friendly and helpful, which added to the relaxed, welcoming vibe of the place. I’d happily stay there again!

They are misleading people with breakfast included and served but they DON'T SERVE BREAKFAST AT ALL!
Stay there only if you must!

The mattress and pillows were horrible, super thin spring mattress with thin pillows. The shower looked like it had black mold in the cracks. The staff were very nice, but I wouldn't come back because of the quality.

Have no expectations when booking this hotel…
No hot water , had a cold shower, after hiking all day, even after reporting it 3 times. They could not swap the room as the water in there was also cold. Poor cleaning, poor breakfast choices and services. Worktop in the bar area was sticky. Nice location.

Was expecting breakfast as included when booked.
Room was not one of the renovated ones, needed doing - sellotape on crack on window, very old furniture, etc.

The room felt safe overall, but there were a few issues. The window couldn’t open, making it a bit hot, and the curtains didn’t block any light—expect to wake up early with the sun. Noise from the busy pub below lasted until around 10pm. The lower bed had very little headroom, even when just sitting up.
