Great Hotel, but don’t stray out..

Nice old hotel right in the centre of Bala. Secure off road parking behind hotel for my motorbike. Not much choice of ales. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. I didn’t try the food as I thought I would mix it up a bit and have breakfast over the road in ‘Hoffi Coffi’ … if you find being served a soup like offering as a cooked breakfast entertaining (tinned tomatoes, beans and a price of bacon and egg swimming around in there) then be my guest and go on in and fill your boots up! Seeing the coffee machine gave me at least some confidence that they could deliver a decent coffee? Alas, I got Nescafé… instant.. I can’t believe that in 2025 this place still exists, wait! I may have wandered into a time portal and popped up in 1983… Curry house up the way a bit was abysmal, that’s another story though…

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.

Good clean room on third floor with large walk in shower in en suite. Could not undo locked wardrobe door but due to inconvenience given two free breakfasts which was appreciated. Not many socket outlets in room and non near kettle. Would not recommend having evening meal due to slow service and quality. Real ale pumps but no real ale on.Parking restricted but we were aware. Staff very helpful.
