Very nice - beautiful countryside and a good hotel
I did volunteering at UTS and this hotel was just about 3 minutes walk from the event. I booked it last minute, the price was OK and it included breakfast, too.
The property is very dated and in need of upgrades. Seems expensive for what it currently is !
Staff are friendly and breakfast: dinners were very good.
Great location for walks
Just what i wanted. Close to the Llanberis path. Easy checkin and checkout. Friendly staffs. Didn't hesitate to answer my questions even when i kept bothering them multiple times. Very good overall.
Best way to describe the hotel is an Old hotel with an inefficient design, the staff were amazingly nice and helpful. The Eyri Longue staff included. Its situated perfectly for anyone who is doing Snowdon by foot or train. With the main bus interchange outside giving you access to Bangor and the rest of north Wales. Few things need repairing and modernizing. USB ports in the room being the main one.

Great location, very short walk to mountain railway. Friendly helpful staff. They are upgrading the old hotel slowly, some great history and architecture in the building. room could have been a bit cleaner; stupid sensor light for bathroom goes out after 5 mins!! Please go back to a simple light switch!
Everything was great and perfect location for hiking and visiting north wales

Staff were brilliant, excellent location. Room a little small without much hanging space and the non-functioning towel heater was an issue. Heating good, no noise at night and o really a nice hotel with a good atmosphere and great views.
