Stayed here for 2 nights whilst we climbed Snowdon. Ideal location as the Snowdon starting point is a 5 minute walk and free parking outside the hotel was ideal.
Stayed for 2 nights. Great location. Room was clean tidy and very comfortable. Car park was very small and I had been blocked in but otherwise we will definitely look at going back.
We loved our stay. The outside of the Inn and the main areas do not look amazing, however the rooms are beautifully laid out and very modern. The beds are comfortable and clean. and the rooms are spacious. The Saturday night Karaoke was amusing to hear but as you're above a pub you can't really expect a silent night.
Excellent location and lovely food.
Our room was clean and tea coffee amenities were provided.
It is above a pub so there is some noise as expected. The bed could do with a new mattress as it was very uncomfortable. Apart from that we had a lovely stay
Recently refurbished rooms but small. The family room would have been better converted to a double room with a chair instead of a single bed squeezed in next to the double bed.
For some reason, they stopped serving breakfast and the whole town seemed to have closed down for winter, even though Snowdon was busy and it was a weekend. We had to get coffee for breakfast from the only open facility which was an outdoor coffee van. They would do well to keep their breakfast provision open for weekends.
Very small room, Hard bed, water backing up in the shower, tiny sink with a shelf above, found it hard to wash and brush teeth without spillage on the floor.

Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort
The room was clean but the room was small for the price and is located directly above a lively bar.
It was not a restful experience. I had to put white noise on in order to sleep
Great accommodation for climbing Snowdon. The Pub underneath has an amazing restaurant! Very friendly staff and a useful shop across the road.

Noisy accommodation
We stayed for 3 nights. Wanting to do lots of walking Snowdon being our main aim.
Unfortunately I assumed this would be the kind of thing most would be doing so quiet evenings because of the early starts.
This did not seem to be the case.
Our room was situated above the bar with the beer garden right under our window.
Let me just say we did not get any early nights.
The noise from outside kept us awake Until extremely late. I feel like this should be stated before booking.
I have stayed in many a pub/bar and have not been disturbed by any noise.
This ruined our stay and our trip if I am honest due to tiredness. I would not recommend this accommodation
The room was great with all the amenities needed,the hotel location was fantastic to walk up snowdon, free parking and a good pub on your door step,well worth the trip, brilliant.
Very convenient for Snowdon path, mountain railway , slate museum, lake padarn and dinorwic slate quarry. Pleasant room though pillows a bit hard, very clean in room but stairs in hallway very dusty .Limited evening dining in Llanberis but pub grub available in the evening and cafe next door. Friendly staff, rooms are over the public house but we didn’t notice any excessive noise.
Lovely room with comfortable bed. Also, the temperature was just about right, not too warm or cold. Contactless check-in worked perfectly.
Would have been nice if the Inn served breakfast, especially on the day my friend and I had an early start to go up Snowdon. Generally it appears as though it is impossible to get breakfast anywhere in Llanberis before 9am!
The evening meal we had at the Inn was excellent. We can thoroughly recommend the steak & ale pie.
En suite was way to small badly designed.
Very noisy someone every night about midnight moving furniture.
Info sheet said top up of drink stuff at top of stairs nothing there so wrong information given.
I knew we booked a pub but to noisy for us.
Also people with no masks on standing in main entrance smoking had to squeeze past.
Would not stay again.
Good location, easy check in that was Covid safe with clear instructions sent before arrival. Room was really clean. Great location with easy access to local hikes, shops and places to eat.
Cleaner was really friendly to chat to. I’d recommend this place to others.
Nice, easy contact less check in. Rooms were clean and enough for what we needed. Staff in the bar were helpful. This was a great location for our trip and the little town had plenty of places to eat and drink.
