Awful place....steer clear.

We found it to be more like a Hostel than a Hotel. It was full of noisy students on both evenings we were there. Our main criticism was the general state of the hotel and the cleanliness of the room. It needs complete renovation and redecorating and the room was actually filthy. Stained carpet, ancient dried out old pine furniture, awful curtains and a bathroom that was covered in black mould....I am not exaggerating! The shower had absolutely no pressure so it was almost impossible to have a shower. What water there was fluctuated rapidly from cold to boiling hot. Virtually a Health and safety issue. The tiles on top of the shelf were held together with a large strip of silver Duck Tape. Dust was everywhere on things The only redeeming factor was that the bed linen was clean.
Shelf above the loo.
Bath taps, tiles etc.
pipe from basin.
typical door frame paintwork

Out of date hotel

We were in room 7, it was at the top of the hotel, the room over looked the rear car park and at night there was a floodlight which was on most of the night which lit up our room as the curtains weee nearly see through. The shower if you can calm it a shower there was no water pressure it was like have a shower under tap.

Menai - under rated. Will be back

Stayed here as close to university. Was a 2 minute walk. Deserves a higher rating than it currently has. No lifts so people with mobility issues may struggle. Wasn’t a problem for me and my daughter. We had a twin room. Shower was a little disappointing as spray was not very good or powerful. However was over a full size bath with plenty of hot water. Comes with free breakfast too. Limited to 5 items and wasn’t clear if you could pay to add to this. Cooked breakfast was delicious. Plenty of tea and coffee available in the room. I will definitely stay here again next time I come to Bangor. Lots of food outlets and a couple of bars within a couple of minutes walk.

Staff very welcoming. Parking a bit tight but plenty. Room very spacious. bed comfortable. Shower didnt get higher than luke warm, but then i was on the top floor and probably need to let it run for a lot longer than i had time for. TV, nice to have, but needed the aerial realigning. Pub wasnt busy , Music, tv, pool tables, reasonable prices. Breakfast was good.
