Great friendly staff == good welsh food -- very fresh.. Blackboard day menu is worth at visit.. Rooms are excellent - not plastic or out of characture. Bathroom/Shower all new..

Excellent location, a lot of history, good food, friendly staff. Hotel has been well restored and upgraded.

In small street so get map/directions before you start.Morning/breakfast staff very busy.

Overall: Enjoyed visit to Caernafon and loved the Castle and its exhibits were well done. Learned a lot about Welsh (and some English) history going back 100s of years.  (108835944)

Excellent room for the money. Lots of character, good furniture, good facilities.

Maintenance and cleaning could be improved (no reason why only 3 out of 5 lights in the bedroom should work and lamp shades on bed side lights thick with dust on sides near to wall).

Overall: Very good and a good spring clean would make it excellent value for money.  (108818569)

Great old building within the city walls of the castle. Easy to get to. And a fun pub atmosphere.

staff were excellent on the 1st night, late drinks request, no problems. filled us in with info that wasn't forthcoming on arrive ie:- how to get in when closed after late night out !!!

staff couldn't get us out of the bar quick enough, not the same staff as 1st night !!! fire alarm went off at about 08:00 hrs monday morning, we were told don't worry we didn't burn your breakfast, not concerned that had to get up and come down to find out what was going on !!! we didn't know if there was a fire or not, bit concerning.

Overall: over all our stay was pleasant and even considering the above we would book again. staff were good 1st day and not so good 2nd day. Meals were very good.  (108117565)

Why do we publish ratings from Active Hotels?

Our rating system is designed to give you the confidence to find and book the hotel that best suits your needs. We've worked hard to create a fair and impartial process to collect our ratings so you can always be assured of a great hotel experience.

How do I add a rating?

Unlike other sites that offer ratings, our rating process is by invitation only. This ensures that 100% of the ratings you see on our site come from guests that have booked online with us and stayed at the hotel in question.

All our ratings are created by guests who have booked through Active Hotels (or its sister sites) and completed their stay over the last year. We don't edit, alter or adjust the ratings so you can be sure of unbiased opinions.

How do you manage to collect so many ratings?

48 hours after departure from your accommodation booked through Active Hotels or any of our sister sites, you may be invited to complete a guest review questionnaire. This means that, for most hotels, we're able to post more than 1 guest rating every single week. We currently display over 70,000 ratings and we add hundreds of scores from real guests every day.
