Ty Afon, River House
"A Gem of a place to stay, so quiet your own heartbeat will keep you awake, and a view of the landscape to adore. Breakfast is good, basic amenities (Cereal, Toast, Yogurts, etc) with cooked to order items and freshly cooked pastries was a nice touch. Lovely staff, friendly, attentive, and informative on the food locality. Dinner platters, fondue, and on-site bar a wonderful choice for a long day hiking when you're to tired to go out again."
The Lake View Hotel
"Great base for walking the Llanberis path up Snowden. The hosts were extremely welcoming, warm, and knowledgable about the local area. A selection of teas and coffee are available in the lounge area which felt much needed after the climb! Room was clean and well maintained. Breakfast was lovely. Would definitely recommend :)"
Celtic Royal Hotel & Spa
"Nice room. Great breakfast and hotel bar. Walking distance to most places"
YHA Snowdon Pen-Y-Pass - Hostel
"Excellent Hostel and very well kept. Nice clean facilities and good food available in the restaurant too. Only downside is the parking situation but this is out of their hands and well informed on their web site. Plenty of regular busses during the day so just be sure to plan ahead for where you park."
Plas Glynllifon Mansion
"This hotel is a work in progress but it is a great experience to stay in a 19th century mansion. I hope that the current owners can continue their restoration and preserve this tremendous heritage. But please put better directions on the hotel booking site as the given post code is miles away."
Ty'n Rhos Country House
"Upon arrival we have been upgraded (for free) to a luxury room. The room itself was very nicely decorated and it had that luxury, boutique feel. Room was very clean. All towels, glasses, cutlery in the room as well as bedding was very clean. The hotel itself has a unique style, very well thought through with stylish design and decorations. Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast delicious and quickly prepared and served. Hotel is situated within 15 minutes drive from seaside town as well as access to Snowdon tracks. I would highly recommend this place."
