Top Caernarfon Hotel Reviews

The Royal Victoria Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in an ideal position at the edge of the village. It has ample parking. The rooms are well maintained although the single room is small. The staff are very helpful and pleasant. The breakfast has a good variety and caters for most diets. The bar area was comfortable and clean and although prices were on the high side there was a good selection of quality drinks. I would recommend this hotel and will probably stay there again"

YHA Snowdon Pen-Y-Pass - Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice YHA - this was my third visit! Extremely clean rooms, bedding and bathroom (3bed room en suite). Friendly faces behind the bar/reception. Ideal to walk Miners/Pyg Track - just across the room for both. Big self-service kitchen and dining room. Board Games/snooker room - plenty of space to lounge about with a licensed bar!

New luxury converted barn at the foot of Moel Hebog

10/10 Excellent

"A delightful light, modern, spacious, quirky cottage, set in beautiful North Wales countryside. A tranquil setting, with views over Welsh mountains, only occasionally interrupted by a steam train chuffing its way through the garden. I've now stayed in both cottages and would thoroughly recommend both the cottages, and the local area."

Celtic Royal Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"We were surprised to find that guests have to pay an additional fee for parking. The building is quite old, so the ventilation wasn’t great and the room felt quite stuffy. Even though it was already the end of August, the room still felt quite warm and poorly ventilated. At night, there was also quite a lot of noise coming from the hotel kitchen downstairs, which was quite disturbing. Apart from these points, the staff were all very nice and friendly."
