Great central Bangor location and vegan breakfast

Great location central to Bangor so it's easy to walk into town for retail and restaurants. Good to have off-street parking and the breakfast included in the price. Being Vegan it was fab to catered for so happy to recommend.

Good value for money, good breakfast, comfortable bed, friendly staff. I loved the view of the mountains over the houses from the room. The shower took a long time to run warm, but I was showering early, and the carpet was worn in places, but did the job of being a place to stay near my destinations.

Menai - under rated. Will be back

Stayed here as close to university. Was a 2 minute walk. Deserves a higher rating than it currently has. No lifts so people with mobility issues may struggle. Wasn’t a problem for me and my daughter. We had a twin room. Shower was a little disappointing as spray was not very good or powerful. However was over a full size bath with plenty of hot water. Comes with free breakfast too. Limited to 5 items and wasn’t clear if you could pay to add to this. Cooked breakfast was delicious. Plenty of tea and coffee available in the room. I will definitely stay here again next time I come to Bangor. Lots of food outlets and a couple of bars within a couple of minutes walk.

Great place

Great place, amazing room size and a very friendly staff. The Wi-Fi and showers (extremely low water pressure) aren’t the best, but still worth the money. Great location - near the station, supermarkets and the uni.

Great value for money!

I was exceptionally pleased by stay at the Menai Hotel. The room was clean & comfortable with everything I needed plus a great view of the mountains. Location-wise it was also handy for the city centre. I had a great sleep and breakfast was varied and plentiful. The staff was friendly and helpful. Great value for money! Will certainly be back and recommend!
