Hayabusa trip to Bala

Lovely place in a lovely setting, Bala high street was very busy and vibrant lots to see and do , we visited the white water rafting centre which was excellent. Also we rode to the Elan valley to see the dams , a most spectacular sight, weather was amazing if a little too hot even for motorcycling.

I had a single room R301 it is probably the smallest hotel room I have ever stayed in. Although the bed was comfortable it was a small single bed which made for a restless nights sleep.

Really enjoyed our stay, thank you so much to the staff for making us feel welcome. Only issue was the nightclub across the road being loud, but closing the window sorted that. Mot, our dog was very happy and spoilt rotten. Would love to come again. Diolch yn fawr

A very nice hotel with very friendly staff. I only stayed over night. I used the restaurant, the food was nice and the prices reasonable. A big car park at the rear of the hotel, however not as secure for my bike as I would have liked. Overall, nice place, I've booked to stay on my return trip from Holyhead on the 28th June.

Friendly helpful staff. Central in Bala

We booked through hotels.com, but we booked a triple room, as it was cheapest option for a couple and a 20 year old daughter. On check in, there was not a triple room, rather than cancel us, they gave us 2 twins, much to the delight of all of us. Very friendly. Thank you
