Everything was lovely and clean and staff we're very polite. The bedside light didn't work in room 109 so had to get out of bed to put the light on and off The bar unfortunately closed at 10pm and being sat outside we didn't hear last orders just before we were going to get our last drink for the night so had to walk uo the road to another pub thay was still open. Would definitely stay there again

Not what I expected

We stayed at the Royal Oak for the last three nights of a two week vacation. The bedroom pictures make the hotel look more upscale than it is. We were not in the main building but in rooms that go over and across the parking area. The cons- It was rather humid and stuffy but there were no fans and the windows did not open fully, which was uncomfortable. It was clean, but felt more like an American motel, not hotel, which was disappointing.We were in a room about the outdoor restaurant which was noisy and didn’t close until 10 pm. The pros- The restaurant was quite good, the staff was friendly, and they served delicious full breakfast. I had higher expectations of the Royal Oak, so overall I feel disappointed.

Somewhat disappointed. Rooms a little tired and in need of an update. Room extremely hot with a small noisy fan provided. No toiletries provided. Room very noisy at night as it overlooked outside bar/restaurant. The location of the hotel was good and the staff were friendly.

Overpriced superior room with a shower that I couldn't get to work and a sink that was blocked. Food in the restaurant was limited and breakfast choice for people who don't want a cooked meal was pretty limited. Restaurant trying to please all clients by offering a mix of everything other than normal food which is not spiced, full of lentils, noodles and vegan. Disappointed especially as it wasn't cheap.

Best part of stay cooked breakfast

I found the welcome avange, the room spaceage but dark. Nothing special about the deco, the bed was comfortable. We paid extra £15 each for breakfast. Well worth it, restaurant nice, service and food very good. I did feel pressured to book breakfast, I walked away then came back. Pleased I did.

Fabulous stay!

All the staff at the Royal Oak couldn’t have done anything more to help us during our stay. From advising us how to get to Pen-Y-Pass, which routes to take up Snowdon and where is good to eat. The food was great and a good range of options for all on the menu. Hotel itself is a little tired and could do with decorating in some places but it was clean and the bed was very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again if I come back to do Snowdon again (which is likely) and would recommend it to others as well.

An OK place to stay in Betws y Coed

We stayed in one of the Stable lodges in the annexe. It was ok adjacent to the main hotel. Breakfast was good but expensive. It is an ok place to stay.

A delightful hotel, at once both old-fashioned and modern. A very pleasant Reception and an excellent restaurant for both dinner and breakfast. Slept well in a very comfortable room - (although I would have liked one 'soft' pillow). And all in all the hotel was central to a very pleasant weekend.
