Super friendly manager and perfect for a short stay in Betws y Coed. Rooms were clean and there were several amenities that i was hoping for. Tremendous hiking trail right behind the hotel. I highly recommend The Dragon.

Lee the owner was very friendly and tries hard. Chinese Restaurant and Bar have not been available since 2020. Why is Expedia still advertising it being open? indeed the Dragon website says (temporarily unavailable) unfortunately i booked with Expedia. Room 14 is fine

Located on the "strip" in Betws-Y-Coed, this B&B is well situated to take in the things this village has to offer. Lots of dining and specialty clothing shops near by. Rail from Lladnudno is a ten minute walk. The owner and her neice gave us service, both were very pleasant to deal with. An outside cleanup and some improvements to the inside would make it so much nicer. Excellent full English breakfast

I stayed at The Dragon for 5 nights in October 2024 and was fully satisfied with the accommodations. The room was much better than expected, fairly large, very clean and comfy. The curtains could be a little thicker as I like a very dark room but it wasn't an issue given the time of year. The bathroom had good water pressure and plentiful hot water. The Wi-Fi was great and was nice to have a decent TV, too. The bed was a real gem - I had stayed in a dozen or so dif places in this extended vacation before getting to Betws-Y-Coed and this bed was for sure the best or second best I had slept in. I would stay here again if back in the area.

Disappointing hotel

Very tired and dated hotel. The bed was comfortable. The room was clean but needed updating. This hotel is clearly in decline though the staff member was helpful and polite. Food was okay too, we only had breakfast as the restaurant side was closed down. Our room overlooked the main road into the river opposite so wasn't a mountain view as first stated. Wouldn't stay again unless it was updated.

B&B not an hotel with a restaurant or bar.

Advertised as having a restaurant and lounge bar. Both are now closed, so it's really just a B&B. I wouldn't have booked here if I had been aware of this as this meant we had to find somewhere else to eat and get a drink, which I hate having to do. I had to phone twice to get access to check in as place was locked. Seems to be run by one lady on her own. Hotel very dated and tired. We had to clean the shower head as it was covered in mould before we could use it. Cobwebs above bed and side wall lights heavy with dust. Breakfast was very good though. Really needs advertised description updated urgently.

Comfortable room, great location and parking at the front of the property. Friendly lady who booked us in and also made breakfast that was also very good. Full English and a choice of cereals, toast, juice, tea and coffee. Restaurant at property is closed but there's plenty of places to eat close by. Would stay there again.
