Reasonable stay near Snowdon

greatgood breakfasthelpfulfriendly staffidealperfect locationthin wallscreaky floorboardsmissing blind
The location is very close to the Snowdon Mountain Railway station. This was a great advantage for our planned trip. Breakfast offered good variety.. it was really substantial. The staff members were helpful during check-in.
My sleep was affected by the noise level. The floorboards creaked audibly on the landings. I could hear conversations through the walls from adjacent rooms. The bathroom lacked a blind at the window, reducing privacy from the car park.

The breakfast offered MANY options. Hot food was simple and filling with choices around toast and cereals. The bed was a GREAT size.
The room smelled LIKE a public toilet. The smell of urine was overpowering and the radiator didn't turn off. The nights were very UNCOMFORTABLE.
